Neurotransmitter-Intermediate Profile – Functional Testing for Mood and Cognitive Health
Effectively assessing and treating mood disorders requires more than just observation—it demands objective clinical data. Traditional care often relies on a trial-and-error approach to psychiatric medications, guided by patient self-reports and clinician evaluations. While this can work for some, it may also lead to delays in finding the right treatment and increases the risk of side effects or worsening symptoms during interim failures.
The Neurotransmitter-Intermediate Profile provides an evidence-based alternative by offering a four-point urine analysis that measures nine key neurotransmitters involved in emotional, cognitive, and metabolic regulation. These neurotransmitters influence a wide range of physiological and psychological functions, including mood, hormone balance, sleep, stress response, pain perception, appetite, memory, and focus.

Dopamine
-
Noradrenaline (Norepinephrine)
-
Adrenaline (Epinephrine)
-
Glutamate
-
