What Is Serotonin?

​

Serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is a naturally occurring substance that acts both as a neurotransmitter and hormone.  It plays a big role in the central nervous system (CNS), where specialized nerve cells in the digestive system, brain, and spinal cord produce serotonin.

​

Serotonin that is produced in the brain can help with mood regulation, memory, sleep etc. It is believed to be a natural mood booster which is why it’s sometimes called a “happy chemical” or “happy hormone.” This neurotransmitter has several important jobs in other parts of the body. In fact, most of the serotonin in your body is found in your gut, not your brain. Not only do the intestines produce almost all of the body's serotonin supply, but serotonin is required there to promote healthy digestion.
