Serotonin

Serotonin is a chemical in the brain that helps regulate mood, emotions, and various bodily functions. Often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, it contributes to feelings of happiness and well-being. Aside from mood regulation, serotonin also influences sleep, appetite, and digestion. Imbalances in serotonin levels are linked to conditions like depression and anxiety. This chemical is produced in the brain and also found in other parts of the body, such as the intestines, where it plays a role in digestive processes. Overall, serotonin is crucial for both mental and physical health.
