Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT and it also has hormonal effects in our body.
Your gut contains the majority of the serotonin in your body. The cells lining your gastrointestinal system contain about 90% of your body's serotonin supply. It’s released into your blood circulation and absorbed by platelets. Your brain only produces 10% of the total serotonin.
Serotonin is known to be involved in many bodily functions, ranging from regulating moods to digesting food.
