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. |
