Your gut contains the majority of the serotonin in your body. The cells lining your gastrointestinal system contain about 90% of your body's serotonin supply. It’s released into your blood circulation and absorbed by platelets. Your brain only produces 10% of the total serotonin. Serotonin is known to be involved in many bodily functions, ranging from regulating moods to digesting food.
