In this article, we will discuss what exhibits high levels of serotonin to causes PMS
1. Adrenaline
Adrenaline is also produced by adrenal gland when we come under stress. Over production of adrenaline blocks the our body in utilizing progesterone, no matter how much progesterone in progesterone receptors resulting in lower levels of serotonin.
2. High levels of estrogen and low levels of progesterone
Right levels of estrogen and progesterone is important to maintain healthy function of our body. Over production of estrogen causes lower levels of progesterone which is necessary for adrenal gland in manufacturing serotonin resulting in lower levels of serotonin in the bloodstream. Also high levels of estrogen causes low levels of serotonin as resulting of vitamin b6 being inhibited.
3. Problem with low glucose levels
Women with low glucose levels before menstruation may see low levels of serotonin caused by over secretion of glucose and adrenaline resulting in low levels of serotonin.
4. Vitamin B6 deficiency
Vitamin B6 is vital in assisting the production of serotonin from adrenal gland. Deficiency causes abnormal function of adrenal gland resulting in low levels of serotonin leading to pre menstrual syndrome.
5. Essential Fatty acid -typtophan and Omega 3
Typtophan is important to raise blood glucose and increase levels of serotonin in the brain. Low levels of typtophan has an opposite effects. Omega 3 is also important in helping adrenal gland in secreting right levels of serotonin, low levels of Omega fatty acid 3 causes lower the production of levels of serotonin.
