This amino acid consistently increases the levels of the "feel-good" neurotransmitter Serotonin and that's not always a good thing.

It's a mood normalizer; if your mood is down and you're depressed, it will bring you back to baseline, but if you're generally in good spirits, it won't do much for you. It's not a quintessential Nootropic or smart drug that you can expect to enhance cognition and make you more productive.
