Serotonin is a natural chemical within the brain. Serotonin, or 5 hydroxytryptamine (5HT) is derived from willow trees and is even in our own bodies. Serotonin in the body, 90% in gastrointestinal tract 8% in platelets 2% in the brain (pineal gland and hypothalamus)
How can we make serotonin? Well it is sythesised in neurons and enterochrymaffin cells by hydroxylation and decarboxylation. Those are fancy words for this--- |
