How Healthy Is My Brain?
The neurotransmitter test is an assessment of your mental and emotional well-being. When you are in balance, your mood is stable, sleep is refreshing and you are thinking clearly.
We get into a rut when our neurotransmitters are out of balance. We are not motivated to work out, so we are not producing feel-good neurotransmitters, maybe we gain weight and then feel even worse. The brain controls them all, and neurotransmitters control the brain.
Want to improve mood, motivation, or cravings?
The good news is you can easily identify and manage neuroendocrine imbalances like serotonin, dopamine, and epinephrine with inexpensive, over-the-counter nutrients. That's right! Simple vitamin-store items like GABA, tryptophan, or theanine can cool down an anxious set of neuroendocrine imbalances. On the other hand, if your neurotransmitters are sluggish or depressed, you can boost them up with glutamine, tyrosine, or vitamin B6.
Consider testing if you are experiencing symptoms such as:
- depression
- anxiety
- fatigue
- insomnia
- low sex drive
- poor memory
- addictive behaviors
- ADD/ADHD
- OCD
- severe PMS/PMDD
Like hormones, neurotransmitters require a delicate balance to keep the body functioning at a peak level. When these levels become irregular, the brain gets over- or under-stimulated, resulting in neurological and psychological symptoms. For example, PEA is a biomarker for ADHD.
This thorough test from ZRT Lab shows your overall functional assessment. Your health practitioner will be able to see not only the level of each neurotransmitter and enzyme but also how they are behaving and interacting with each other.
This Neurotransmitter Profile test assesses a range of neurotransmitters and their metabolites. Samples are collected from dried urine four times a day, as neurotransmitters have a short lifespan, pooling some measurements over the four snapshots helps average the results. The add-ons for this test also involve dried urine samples, except for the Saliva Steroid Hormone add-on, which requires both dried urine for neurotransmitters and saliva samples for steroid hormones.

| Neuro Metabolites | |
| 5-HIAA (5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid) is a metabolite of serotonin, a chemical/neurotransmitter that is needed by the nervous system, mainly the brain, and also needed by special cells in the lung and gastrointestinal tract. | Yes |
| DOPAC (3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) is a metabolite of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine serves as the reward and pleasure center in the brain. DOPAC and HVA (Homovanillic Acid) are dopamine metabolites. | Yes |
| HVA (Homovanillic acid) is a major metabolite produced by actions on dopamine. Homovanillic acid is used as a reagent to detect oxidative enzymes, and is associated with dopamine levels in the brain. | Yes |
| NMN (Nicotinamide mononucleotide) part of neurovascular coupling, a process whereby blood flow to the brain increases when neural activity increases. Improvement of neurovascular coupling, in turn, improves brain function (cognition). | Yes |
| Tryptophan (Trp) is the precursor of the monoaminergic neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) | Yes |
| VMA (Vanilmandelate) is the metabolite of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) & epinephrine (adrenaline). They are responsible for the “fight or flight” sensations we experience during stress & anxiety. | Yes |
| Sample Type | |
| Blood Spot | No |
| Dried Urine | Yes |
