Urinary neurotransmitter testing provides an overall assessment of the body's ability to make and break down neurotransmitters and are representative of whole-body levels. Neurotransmitters are secreted all through the body, in neurons of both the central and peripheral nervous systems. The enzymes, cofactors and precursors in neurotransmitters metabolism in general are the same in both nervous systems. Alterations in urinary neurotransmitter level assessed in urine provide important clinical information and may be associated with many symptoms including cognitive and mood concerns, diminished drive, fatigue and sleep difficulties, cravings, addictions and pain. Associations between urinary neurotransmitter level and health conditions may provide valuable insights as part of a comprehensive health assessment.

Mood Concerns (depression & anxiety)
Diminished energy/fatigue
Insomnia
Cognitive concerns (forgetfulness, inattention, brain fog)
Addiction and dependency
Obsessions and cravings

Includes testing and print out of results. For interpretation and a plan of action based on your results you must make an appointment with our office.
**Once the test is purchased, please call our office at 308-386-4799. You will need to set up a new patient appointment and a follow up visit to go over results after the test is completed. Insurance does not pay for the functional test, but the medical portion of your visit is often covered by insurance. We do recommend setting up an extended visit to go over results, as there is a lot of information, this additional time will be out of pocket.
Please call with questions.
