The importance of serotonin

Serotonin is produced by the body itself from the amino acid tryptophan via the intermediate step 5-HTP. The "happiness hormone" is one of the most important neurotransmitters. It regulates the transmission of signals in important areas of the brain and influences our mood, our sleep and our appetite.
As our food contains virtually no serotonin, deficits can only be compensated for by supplying the building blocks. 5-HTP has been shown to be much more effective than tryptophan.

The majority of 5-HTP is metabolised to serotonin by so-called enterochromaffin cells in the intestine. The serotonin produced is released into the bloodstream, but cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Special nerve cells in the brain therefore ensure that 5-HTP is converted into serotonin.
