Neurotransmitter and Cortisol Test
Test ID: SU-843
Saliva 4-Point Cortisol + Dried Urine LCMS Neurotransmitters Test is a comprehensive assessment combining 4-point salivary cortisol testing with LC-MS dried urine neurotransmitter analysis, designed to evaluate stress patterns and full-spectrum neurotransmitter metabolism.

Who Is This Test For?
You may benefit if you experience anxiety or depression, mood swings, insomnia or poor sleep, fatigue, ADHD / focus issues, panic attacks, PMS or PMDD, low libido, brain fog, impulsivity, or chronic stress. If you regularly experience 3 or more of these symptoms, neurotransmitter imbalance may be contributing.
Why Test Neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters regulate mood & emotional stability, sleep–wake cycles, motivation & reward pathways, memory & cognitive performance, pain perception, appetite regulation, and autonomic functions. Imbalances can contribute to anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, PMS/PMDD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders.
Cortisol + Neurotransmitters: Why Combine Them?
Chronic stress alters neurotransmitter balance. 4-point cortisol testing helps assess morning activation, afternoon energy stability, evening wind-down, and overall HPA axis resilience. Combined testing provides a deeper understanding of stress-induced neurochemical changes, burnout patterns, and adrenal–neurotransmitter interactions.
