Testing Parameters Print

In order to effectively understand how an individuals neurotransmitter system is working there are THIRTEEN DIFFERENT PARAMETERS used for testing.

Aspartic Acid
low levels have been linked to chronic fatigue syndrome.
Dopamine
plays a significant role in cognitive function and emotion, as well as roles in the cardiovascular, renal, hormonal and central nervous system.
Epinephrine
raises the concentration of free fatty acids in blood as well as inhibits insulin excretion.
GABA
lack of GABA is associated with increased anxiety and sleep-related problems.
Glutamate
plays in important role in motor behavior as well as influences the secretion of pituitary hormones.
Glutamine
this is the most prevalent amino acid in the body. It plays in important role in the ph balance, immune function, mental acuity and carbohydrate cravings.
Glycine
regulates neurotransmission primarily in the brain stem and spinal cord.
Histamine
is the relevant in the control of sleep and wakefulness and influences the secretion of hormones for the pituitary.
Norepinephrine
important for focus and attention.
Phenylethylamine (PEA)
increases mental acuity and elevates mood and is involved in depression, ADD/ADHD, schizophrenia and psychopathic conditions.
Seretonin
has been extensively studied and is a therapeutic target for conditions like depression, compulsive disorders, anxiety, insomnia and migraines.
Taurine
one of the most prevalent amino acids in the brain.
Creatinine
accounts for an individual’s level of hydration, which significantly affects urinary results.
