Serotonin supplements
Serotonin supplements are dietary supplements that contain the building blocks of serotonin. The body produces serotonin naturally and uses certain building blocks within the body. For example, tryptophan is converted into 5-hydroxytryptophan and then into serotonin.
Serotonin in the brain
Serotonin is also called the happiness hormone because it's involved in processes related to mood. People who produce too little serotonin may feel depressed. This is more common in women than in men. Serotonin also plays a role in diet and influences sleep. The body uses serotonin to produce the natural sleep hormone melatonin.
You can recognize a serotonin deficiency in yourself by:
- Poor and irregular sleep
- Binge eating and cravings for sugar and fat
- Despondency and low motivation
- Worrying and grinding
What is a serotonin supplement?
A serotonin supplement is a dietary supplement containing natural substances used in the body to produce serotonin. Such a product often consists of both building blocks for serotonin production and additives that play a role in biochemical processes involved in serotonin production.
- Building blocks: Consider substances like tryptophan and 5-HTP. These substances are used in the body as building blocks for serotonin.
- Excipients: These substances help the body convert the building blocks into serotonin. Examples include vitamin B6 and magnesium.
How quickly does a serotonin supplement work?
A serotonin supplement supports the body's own processes, so it takes time. The first results are often noticeable after two weeks, and this usually continues to increase.
Types of serotonin supplements
Although these supplements are used by a huge number of people worldwide, no claims may be made about their effectiveness. This has been established at the European level, and therefore also applies to the Netherlands.
We have two different serotonin supplements in our range:
1. Serobooster
A natural dietary supplement for mood, well-being, and emotional well-being. It contains, among other things, a very high-quality Griffonia extract (>98% natural 5-HTP) and the active form of vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate). We added this active form of vitamin B6 because it benefits psychological function and mood. This vitamin is involved in the production of neurotransmitters, including serotonin.
2. Sleep and Mood
This is our natural sleep aid with 12 ingredients, including Griffonia extract (with the active ingredient 5-HTP) and L-tryptophan. Both 5-HTP and tryptophan are used in the brain as building blocks for the production of serotonin and the natural sleep hormone melatonin. It also contains a dose of L-theanine and valerian, along with a variety of vitamins and minerals that help regulate rest and mood.
