Today I'm gonna talk about serotonin. What is serotonin? What are the symptoms of too low or too much serotonin in your body? And I'll share with you the best ways and especially the best entropics to increase your serotonin naturally. And at the end of the video, I'm gonna share with you my favorite entropic supplement that can help you out. So if you're ready, let's just begin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that sends signals between the cells. It is mainly found in your digestive system, but you can also found it in the central nervous system. Now low levels of serotonin are associated with depression, with anxiety, poor sleep, and other mood disorders. But if you have too much serotonin in your body, this can cause diarrhea, headaches, confusion, and even shivering. So you kind of need to balance serotonin levels to be in the best mood. Now the actual role of serotonin is to regulate your mood, to regulate your sleep, and to actually prevent anxiety and depression. And that's why people who have normal levels of serotonin feel very happy, they're calm, and can be much more focused. So how can you increase serotonin? First of all, you need to know that serotonin is made from an amino acid called L-tryptophan. And L-tryptophan is found in many different foods such as tofu, such as chia seeds, and other seeds you can find in spirulina as well. So to increase it, you need to eat lots of those foods. In addition, I highly recommend combining those foods with complex carbs such as sweet potatoes, oatmeal, etc. Because those can increase insulin levels, and when insulin levels are increased, L-tryptophan can easily enter your brain. And for better nutrient absorption, add some healthy fats to your meals. Anyway guys, if you like this video, please press the like button below. Now, how about naturopics and supplements? Well, the most popular naturopics for increasing serotonin level is probably 5-HTP, because 5-HTP is a precursor of serotonin, which means that it actually turns into serotonin when it enters your body. And actually, 5-HTP is given to people who have been taking antidepressants called SSRIs and want to stop taking them. So instead of taking antidepressants, many people actually go and take 5-HTP. But to do that, you need to consult your doctor to be on the safe side. Now, the recommend daily dosage is about 300 to 500 milligrams per day, and you need to take it with food. And to learn more about 5-HTP, click up and watch this video here. L-tryptophan, as I mentioned before, is an amino acid that turns into 5-HTP and then this turns into serotonin. And it's a very popular anotropic that is found in many anotropic supplements, especially in sleep supplements. But the problem with L-tryptophan is that the daily recommend dosage has not been established yet, so it's kind of a hard to recommend it. Rodiola rosa is an adaption herb and another anotropic that can increase serotonin levels, but also decrease your anxiety and stress and improve your well-being. And the recommend daily dosage of Rodiola is about 50 to 100 milligrams per day. To learn more about Rodiola, click up here. Now we have vitamin B6, not a typical anotropic, but an important vitamin that co-facilitates the transformation of 5-HTP into serotonin. And that's why it's often added to popular anotropic stacks and supplements. And lastly, we have L-tionin, another popular amino acid that plays a role in modulating different neurotransmitters such as dopamine, GABA, and of course serotonin. And the recommend daily dosage of L-tionin is about 100 to 200 milligrams. By the way guys, do you want to know how well does your brain work?

Now be careful guys, too much serotonin can cause different problems as I mentioned before, but it can also cause low levels of dopamine, because when serotonin increases, generally dopamine decreases. This would mean that you may feel better, you will be in a better mood, your sleep will be better, but you may become as motivated, you may have issues with focus and so on. So you need to control dopamine levels as well. And how to do it? Well, watch my next video on the best natropics for dopamine.
