Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and transduces signals between two nerve cells. The amplitude of the serotonin level has far-reaching physiological consequences, e.g., a change in mood. Simplistically, serotonin is designated as “happiness hormone”.Tryptophane is a natural amino acid contained in all proteinaceous foods; in the body, it can be metabolized to serotonin. However, the tryptophane content of chocolate is far too low to induce a physiological effect. Also caffeine and theobromine, both of which are physiologically effective compounds, are contained in cocoa and chocolate in far too low concentrations in order to induce a change of mood.Phenylethylamine is a highly effective compound that is structurally related to amphetamines. Several derivatives of 2-phenylethylamine show stimulatory effects (stimulatory amines). The first compound in this series was amphetamine (2-amino-1-phenylpropane); other examples are pervitin and the recreational drug ecstasy.As phenylethylamine is quickly metabolized in the body and as its concentration in chocolate is very low, a physiological effect can be excluded.
