Serotonin is a brain transmitter that plays a key role in keeping people HAPPY. [Big Grin]

Optimum levels of Serotonin are essential to feeling good!

Severely depressed patients, however, are known to have very LOW levels of Serotonin metabolite or break down product called 5-HIAA ( 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid).

It is now known that essential fatty acid levels in the body predict 5-HIAA levels ( and probably Serotonin levels, too).
FLax seed oil is best & can be takeen in capsule or oil form. BEttter than jsut eating solid flax seeds.
