Serotonin Balance

Meaning

Serotonin Balance is the state of maintaining optimal and appropriate levels of the monoamine chemical serotonin (5-HT) across its various pools in the body, particularly in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. This equilibrium is crucial for regulating a wide range of physiological functions, including mood stability, appetite control, sleep-wake cycles, and gut motility. A disruption in this balance, whether an excess or a deficiency, is clinically associated with mood disorders, digestive issues, and changes in sexual function. Achieving this balance is a primary goal in neuro-endocrine wellness.
