Special Instructions:
Many alterations in physiologic, pathogenic, and environmental factors can affect neurotransmitter concentrations. For 3 days before and during the collection avoid eating avocados, eggplant, tomatoes, bananas, melons, pineapple, grapefruit, plums and nuts. For 24 hours before and during the collection avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco, and it is preferable to be off supplements and medications, including those that regulate allergy, mood, sleep, pain, and inflammation. Never discontinue prescription medications without first consulting your physician.
Description:
Urinary neuro-biogenic amines provide an overall assessment of a patient's ability to synthesize and metabolize neurotransmitters, both in the periphery and, for some enzymes, behind the blood brain barrier as well. Alterations in urinary neurotransmitter status may be associated with a variety of conditions including metabolic disorders, mood/behavioral disorders, and in rare occasions the presence of certain tumors. Associations between urinary neurotransmitter levels and health conditions have been documented in scientific literature and may provide valuable insights as part of a comprehensive health assessment. This test is useful for:
- Functional testing for COMT and MAOA
- Identifying neurological imbalances
- Measuring response to therapy
- Risk assessment
