Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating various physiological and psychological functions, including mood, cognition, sleep, and appetite.

This urine test measures levels of the following neurotransmitters:

• Dopamine: Associated with mood regulation, pleasure, and reward.
• Serotonin: Plays a role in mood, sleep, and appetite regulation.
• Adrenaline/ Noradrenaline: Involved in the body's "fight or flight" response and regulation of attention and alertness.
• GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid): Acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, helping to regulate anxiety and stress.
• Glutamate: Functions as an excitatory neurotransmitter, important for learning and memory.

It is important to note that the clinical utility and accuracy of these tests can vary, and they may not be universally accepted as definitive diagnostic tools.
