Neurotransmitter levels can provide valuable insight into your health and wellbeing. This panel evaluates nine neurotransmitters: serotonin, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, glutamate, glycine, histamine and PEA.

Urinary neurotransmitter (NT) levels provide an overall assessment of your body's ability to make and break down neurotransmitters and are representative of whole body levels. Whole body neurotransmitter levels correlate with symptoms and provide a valuable tool for achieving balance and wellbeing.

This panel contains the following 9 neurotransmitters:

Neurotransmitter	High levels in urine	Low levels in urine
Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter and contributes to feelings of happiness and well-being	May contribute to anxiety, high blood pressure, irritability, and low libido	Associated with depression, worry, obsessive thoughts, carbohydrate cravings, PMS, difficulty with pain control, sleep disturbances, and IBS
GABA functions as the brain's major inhibitory neurotransmitter	Associated with sluggish energy, feelings of sedation, and foggy thinking	Implicated in feeling stressed, overwhelmed and/or irritable, impulsivity, anxiety, ADHD, and seizure disorders
Dopamine regulates the pleasure/reward pathway, memory, and motor control	May contribute to hyperactivity, anxiety and schizophrenia. May also be related to autism, mood swings, psychosis, and attention disorders	Associated with memory issues, loss of motor control, cravings, compulsions, loss of satisfaction, and addictive behaviors
Norepinephrine (noradrenaline) Involved in a wide variety of actions including attention, focus, regulating heart rate, affecting blood flow, and suppressing inflammation	Linked to anxiety, stress, elevated blood pressure, and hyperactivity	Associated with lack of energy, focus, and motivation
Epinephrine (Adrenaline) is heavily involved in the acute stress response and helps regulate muscle contraction, heart rate, glycogen breakdown, and blood pressure	Associated with ADHD, hyperactivity, anxiety, sleep issues, and acute stress response	Leads to difficulty concentrating, fatigue, depression, insufficient cortisol production, chronic stress, poor recovery from illness, and dizziness
Glutamate functions as the brain's major excitatory neurotransmitter	Can cause excitotoxicity, a process that damages nerve cells through excessive stimulation. Associated with panic attacks, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, OCD, and depression	May result in agitation, memory loss, sleeplessness, low energy levels, and depression
Glycine is inhibitory and plays a dual role as both a NT and an amino acid. Glycine improves sleep quality, calms aggression and serves as an anti-inflammatory agent	May be associated with compromised cognitive processing	May contribute to poor sleep, poor cognitive function and issues with memory
Histamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter involved in the sleep/wake cycle and inflammatory response	May be associated with allergy-like symptoms, gastro-intestinal concerns and inflammation	May affect digestion and appetite control, learning, memory and mood and may result in drowsiness
PEA (Phenylethlyamine) promotes energy, elevates mood, regulates attention and aggression, and serves as a biomarker for ADHD	May contribute to anxiety with very high levels having amphetamine-life effects. May be associated with higher cortisol levels	May be associated with ADHD, depression, Parkinson’s disease and bipolar disorder

Sample Report

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that play an important role in sustaining good mental and physical health since they are responsible for the highs and lows of feelings. Through their influence on the pituitary gland, they are the connection between your emotions and production of hormones such as cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen. In turn, your hormones can also influence neurotransmitter production.

When functioning properly the neurotransmitter system has natural checks and balances. However, alterations in the nine neurotransmitters found in this panel play a significant role in contributing to symptoms such as cognitive disorders, depression, anxiety, diminished drive, fatigue and sleep difficulties, cravings, addictions, and pain.

Since testing for and optimizing your neurotransmitter function can have a profound influence on your overall health and well-being, ordering this panel may be the first step to feeling better and enjoying your life again!
