^They're pushing it like snake oil. LOL I was just reminded of a day in high school, at the best friend's house, when I put masking tape around everything in the spice rack and renamed it all to such as Snake Oil! (including a drawing of a viper head with mouth agape). His dad HATED me!
Sounds like snake oil, but serotonin isn't just a neurotransmitter - it's involved in all those other processes too.
Plus it's cheap and available without a prescription. I know lots of folk who swear by it.
