Neurotransmitter Analysis

Specialized testing and targeted care interventions for neurotransmitters

Known neurotransmitters responsible for communication between nerve cells (neurons) , essential for various physiological and psychological functions

About Neurotransmitter Analysis

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry signals between neurons, muscles, and glands. There are over 100 identified neurotransmitters. They enable the brain to control many functions, including movement, sensation, and memory. When neurotransmitters are imbalanced, it can lead to a range of mental and physical symptoms including depression, anxiety, mood swings, insomnia, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, fatigue, irritability, and even physical symptoms like headaches and muscle aches. Long term imbalances can play a role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Specialized neurotransmitter testing may be indicated for:

  • Persistent mood disorders
  • Persistent anxiety
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Cognitive issues
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Scizophrenia
  • Depression
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • ADHD
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the results of the testing?

ZRT Laboratory’s NeuroAdvanced Profile for neurotransmitters contains over 27 individual biomarkers across, including both precursors and downstream metabolites of neurotransmitters – this allows the determination of whether there is a deficiency in amino acids, vitamin or mineral cofactors, or if there may be genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) at play

For a complete list, please reference their complete list of biomarkers

When should I consider neurotransmitter testing?

There are many reasons someone may consider neurotransmitter testing. Neurotransmitters play a role in mood, cognition, muscle movement, and sleep. The delicate balance of neurotransmitters is integral to maintaining optimal brain function, and disruptions in this equilibrium can contribute to a spectrum of neurological and mental health conditions . Here are a few scenarios where neurochemical imbalances may be at play….

 

  • Mood/affective disorders
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Addictive behaviors
  • Insomnia
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder
  • Long Haul Covid, Vaccine Injury, or Vaccine Shedding Injury
