95% of Your Serotonin Is Made in Your Gut, Not Your Brain

Atom · refreshed Search related

Your gut produces 95% of the body's serotonin — the so-called 'happy hormone' — through chemical signaling along the gut-brain axis. This means the state of your microbiome can directly shape mood, anxiety, and focus, not just digestion. Mental health interventions that ignore the gut may be missing the majority of where the chemistry actually happens.
