To try and get your serotonin UP... the most likely candidate is l-tryptophan to use.
Melatonin is synthesized in the brain from serotonin, using methylB12 as a cofactor. So melatonin is an endpoint, and would only possibly spare some brain serotonin from being converted.
About 90% of the serotonin in your body, is NOT in the brain.
It is in platelets, and the GI tract and skin, etc.
There is a good book about it called the The Second Brain, by Michael Gershon, MD. You might find excerpts from it on Google.
It is not so simple, when something goes wrong in the GI tract.
