So far it appears that certain foods which produce the amino acid, tryptophan, also aid in the production of B3. I'm a little bit confused about how it works since I've read several different things, but either tryptophan turns into serotonin directly, or it turns into B3 which produces serotonin. Either way, B3 is important in the production of serotonin. So B3, as well as B6 and B9 can be taken as a supplement to aid in the production of serotonin. B3, also known as niacin, helps with memory, lowering cholesterol, and digestion.
