Neurotransmitters
What is it all about?
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers used by the nervous system to transmit information from one nerve to another. An optimal balance of neurotransmitters is necessary to maintain health. An imbalance can lead to over- or under-stimulation of the brain and body, resulting in neurological or psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, insomnia or impulsivity.

At Laboratoires Réunis, we offer the following neurotransmitter stress profiles:
- Basic neurotransmitter stress profile (serotonin, dopamine, adrenaline, noradrenaline)
- Complete neurotransmitter stress profile (catecholamines, glutamate, GABA, serotonin, creatinine).
These three neurotransmitter breakdown products reflect the activity of neurotransmitters involved in cognitive functions and mood control:
- Vanillylmandelic acid
- homovanillic acid
- 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid
