Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced naturally in the brain that is known to influence a number of important bodily processes, including renal function, immune response, gastrointestinal operation, cardiovascular function and mood stabilization. Also called 5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT, serotonin can be obtained through diet, through supplementation, or through prescription medications. Disruption in serotonin levels can result in a wide range of physical and psychological disorders, and extremely high levels of serotonin in the body can be potentially fatal.
