Role Of Serotonin

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, appetite, and cognitive functions. Though primarily found in the intestines, its presence in the brain affects emotional well-being and mental health.

Though often called “happy hormones,” these neurotransmitters do very different jobs. Understanding how they work, how they differ, and how to naturally support their balance can help you better manage your mental and emotional well-being.

Think of neurotransmitters as instant messages between nerve cells: fast, direct, and short-lived. Hormones, on the other hand, are more like letters sent through the mail—slower, but able to travel long distances in the body and create lasting effects.
