The Gut Can Produce Neurotransmitters — Including Serotonin
About 90–95% of your body’s serotonin (the “feel-good” chemical) is made in the gut, not the brain. Specialized cells in your intestines produce this neurotransmitter, which influences mood, sleep, and digestion. That’s why the digestive system is often called the “second brain.” Issues like IBS or chronic inflammation in the gut can directly affect mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.
