Seroctin’s main advantage resides in its ability to BALANCE serotonin and its corresponding pathways (such as melatonin) without artificially altering the natural course of action typical to pharmaceuticals.

The natural properties of Seroctin assist the pineal gland, the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the Raphe nuclei in balancing and distributing proper serotonin levels in the body. The "balancing" is a key aspect in Seroctin’s ability to influence positive moods and perceptions. If serotonin is found out of balance, there are negatively-associated symptoms with both deficits and surpluses of serotonin.

Most nutritional supplements that are designed to directly stimulate serotonin production fall short of delivering the desired benefit. Taking Serotonin stimulants generally leads to taking additional supplements to offset other side effects caused by serotonin surplus.

Serotonin’s maximum benefit is realized when it is in BALANCE.

Once ingested, a small percentage of Seroctin molecules are absorbed from the stomach into the bloodstream, but most of the Seroctin molecules move from the stomach into the small intestine. There, they are absorbed into the bloodstream very easily.

Seroctin molecules that have entered the bloodstream from the stomach and small intestines then travel to the liver (shown by the bottom blue arrows). In the liver, some of the Seroctin is metabolized to inactive compounds and the rest is carried through the veins to the heart (blue arrow). Once in the heart, the Seroctin is pumped to the lungs along with the blood, which becomes oxygenated and then returns to the heart (red arrow). Now, oxygenated blood carries the Seroctin from the heart to the brain (red arrow) and to other organs in body that have a high blood flow. Normally there is a barrier between the blood vessels in brain and brain matter, which excludes many ingested compounds from entering the brain. However, Seroctin is predominantly in its nonpolar form in blood and therefore it crosses the barrier into the brain very easily.

Upon entering the brain, Seroctin has a gently, yet positive impact on the recruitment and displacement of serotonin throughout its entire pathway.

The Raphe nuclei neurons extend processes to and dump serotonin onto almost the entire brain, as well as the spinal cord. Serotonin plays a role in many brain processes, including regulation of body temperature, sleep, mood, appetite and pain. Problems with the serotonin pathway can cause obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and depression.

In order for the Raphe Nuclei to distribute Serotonin to the brain, it first has to have something to distribute. Serotonin cannot be produced out of thin air. Serotonin is produced with the help of naturally generated trytophan. The body converts tryptophan into an intermediate amino acid known as 5-hydoxytryptamine.

This conversion process is fairly complex and not that efficient. Of the eight essential amino acids, tryptophan is the least common, accounting for only about one percent of protein content. In addition, tryptophan competes with other amino acid absorption to get into the bloodstream. Throughout this entire process only about one percent can be converted to serotonin. This fact places additional need for Seroctin supplementation.

Seroctin ensures that the serotonin that is available is properly distributed and modulated to achieve the critical serotonin balance. It also appears that Seroctin may have an additional benefit with serotonin receptors, further enhancing the efficiency and balance of this critical neurotransmitter.

When tryptophan, which crosses the blood—brain barrier, reaches the CNS, it is converted into cerebral serotonin. The circulating tryptophan will also reach the pineal gland where it is converted into serotonin; this conversion occurs during daylight with the assistance of beta-receptors in the pinealocytes. At night, the pineal serotonin is converted by a special enzyme (HIMOT) into melatonin.

Pineal serotonin released in the CSF increases the activity of cerebral neurons but decreases the activity of the serotonergic neurons of the Raphe Nuclei, which normally inhibit the trigeminovascular system. When this inhibition is controlled, the hyperactivity of the trigeminovascular system leads to dilation and inflammation of cerebral vessels in the domain of the trigeminal nerve (headache!)

The influence of melatonin has been also widely investigated, particularly with relation to the metabolism of serotonin, the activity of cerebral neurons and the endocrine system. Whereas serotonin released by the pineal gland in the CSF leads to decreased activity of the serotonergic Raphe Nuclei, melatonin does just the opposite. Therefore less melatonin also leads to decreased activity of the Raphe Nuclei.

The combination of excessive serotonin and diminished melatonin leads to increased trigeminovascular activity which is responsible for the headache phase of migraine.

Seroctin is a unique and effective PATENTED raw material that can greatly assist with the delicate process of balancing, distribution and reception of serotonin and other complimentary neurotransmitters.

In a world of exponentially increasing workloads and responsibilities, Seroctin truly is the right product, at the right time.
