Gut Health Score: SerotoninUpdated a year ago

The serotonin score measures the bacteria associated with serotonin production, not the levels directly. These are bacteria that have been shown to assist in creating serotonin. Various studies have shown the ability of certain bacteria, such as Enterococcus, to produce one of the important neurotransmitters, serotonin, in tryptophan-rich media (containing foods). Additionally, studies have shown gut microbiota’s role in regulating the bioavailability of substrates required for serotonin biosynthesis.
