Extensive Neurotransmitters Profile
The Extensive Neurotransmitter Profile is a urine test that assesses levels of 6 neurotransmitters, including serotonin, GABA, dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline and glutamate. These neurotransmitters are the most researched in relation to their effect on mood disorders, anxiety, hormones, sleep, glucose/insulin balance, pain perception, appetite and cognitive function.
Low or high levels of neurotransmitters are observed in various mental health disorders, such as low moods, anxiety, stress, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Parkinson’s disease and panic attacks. This test does not diagnose any of these conditions, however it helps your practitioner understand where the chemical imbalance may be and what nutritional support and diet adjustments can be provided to support and correct this imbalance.
Who will this test benefit?
The neurotransmitter test benefits anyone experiencing unexplained mood swings, behavioral changes, or cognitive shifts. It identifies imbalances in key brain chemicals driving your symptoms, allowing precise nutritional and dietary adjustments.
By pinpointing these imbalances, our practitioners create tailored plans to restore your neurotransmitter balance naturally and effectively.
