Answers: Looking for a dietary supplement that naturally boost serotonin or acts as a SSRI
Its 5-HTP that boost the serotonin level in the body. It acts as a SSRI but do not take 5-HTP supplement with any other SSRI because it interacts with other SSRI resulting in decrease efficacy of that SSRI.
Serotonin appears to regulate appetite, sleep, memory, learning, temperature, mood, behavior, heart functions, muscle contraction, endocrine function and depression. Low levels of serotonin have been related with depression, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, altered mood, insomnia, PMS and headaches. It may also be used as an aid to loss weight, to prevent migraine headaches, to reduce the discomfort due to fibromyalgia, to improve sleep quality and to reduce anxiety.
Basically, serotonin is produced by 5-Hydroxytryptophan that is also called as 5- HTP, and 5- HTP is produced by the metabolism of an amino-acid called L-tryptophan.
5-HTP may be helpful in the following symptoms, sleeping disorder, feeling down and depressed, have muscle pain, moreover the studies have shown that it is also helpful in the enhancement of mental alertness and weight loss.
Natural serotonin is produced by the body during the digestion of healthy foods that contain the amino acid L-Tryptophan.The human body is designed to produce natural serotonin from foods that contain amino acids. If your body is low on serotonin it might be because the food you eat is junk and does not have the nutrients the body needs to support proper health.
When you eat a junk diet of processed and packaged foods you will find yourself with a serotonin deficiency because your body can't make any from the junk food you eat.
You either make the effort to eat whey protein and similar health foods that your body can use to create natural serotonin ... or you don't.
Health Foods:
Drink a whey protein milkshake every day. I do. I put a scoop of chocolate flavor in a blender with a half a banana and some skim milk. It tastes delicious and helps keep your tummy flat too.
L-Tryptophan Supplements:
These were off the market for a long time due to one bad batch made by a foreign company. Now they are back and have passed the regulatory requirements for purity. One company that makes these is Doctor's Best.
Their pure fish oil is also recommended for support of brain health.

Eating neurotransmitters generally does not work. You must purchase vitamin supplements of an item that naturally produces the neurotransmitter.
