Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers used by the nervous system to relay information from one nerve to another. An optimal neurotransmitter balance is necessary to maintain proper health. Imbalances can cause the brain and the body to be over- or under-stimulated, producing neurological or psychological symptoms as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia or impulsivity.
At Laboratoires Réunis we offer the following neurotransmitters stress profiles:
- Neurotransmitter stress profile basic (serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline)
- Neurotransmitter stress profile complete (catecholamines, glutamate, GABA, serotonin, creatinine)
These three neurotransmitter catabolites reflect the activity of neurotransmitters involved in cognitive functions and in the control of mood:
- Vanillylmandelic acid
- Homovanillic acid
- 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid
