The neurotransmitter test is a four-point urine assessment that measures key neurotransmitters and metabolites involved in mood, sleep, cognitive function, and metabolic processes. By evaluating trends and ratios among various markers, it provides insights into biochemical imbalances and their systemic effects. Utilizing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the test enables highly sensitive and specific quantification for accurate clinical interpretation, alongside correlation analysis designed to support targeted management and monitoring.
