Serotonin: Mood Messenger / Happiness Hormone

Serotonin, often referred to as the "Happiness Hormone", serves as a crucial messenger in the brain and is primarily produced in the central nervous system.

This neurotransmitter plays a key role in shaping our emotions. Alongside adrenaline and dopamine, it boosts mood and influences motivation. Additionally, it promotes relaxation, enhances sleep, and has anti-depressive properties. Furthermore, serotonin is involved in regulating feelings of fullness and pain sensitivity. It also impacts essential intestinal functions and the absorption of nutrients through the intestines.
