Serotonin is an amino acid derived neurotransmitter and is synthesized directly from the tryptophan amino acid. If tryptophan is absent, serotonin cannot be synthesized and no matter how much sugar you take, your nerve cells will break down protein. Tryptophan, one of the resulting amino acids, will also be used for the synthesis of serotonin. In other words, if we need to make a headline like newspaper news, we can say: "
Don't be happy, being happy is breaking your proteins".ðŸŽðŸ˜ª
That is the tryptophan amino acid you see. The upper one of the rings is the indole ring and pay attention to this ring.
What you see is serotonin, which is responsible for happiness. Look carefully at the left of the 2 rings.
As you can see, serotonin is synthesized from tryptophan. Your body can only form this indole ring by detaching it from tryptophan. So if you don't get enough tryptophan amino acids, you can't be happy, and if you consume foods rich in tryptophan amino acids, you can be happy. The proof of this is the following.
Yes, the reason why chocolate makes you happy is that it contains richly tryptophan amino acids in its structure. In this way,
you take lots of indole rings and synthesize serotonin from this ring.
