| Serotonin and dopamine levels throughout the body are primarily controlled by the Organic Cation Transporters Type 2 (OCT-2) which move these neurotransmitters and their amino acid precursors in and out of cells (including nerve cells known as neurons). |
| When there is not enough serotonin and/or dopamine in the body the OCT-2 transporters can not do their job properly. This technology uses lab testing to analyze the status of these transporters then formulate a plan to establish serotonin and dopamine levels at levels that are optimal OCT-2 transporter function, optimal for health and optimal results involving manipulation of serotonin and/or catecholamines (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) |

This is not Urinary Neurotransmitter Testing which advocates baseline urinary neurotransmitter is required. Baseline testing is not valid!
It is not reproducible from day-to-day. Urinary neurotransmitter testing and the baseline approach has been scientifically discredited in peer-reviewed literature. We recommend and use urinary testing that includes “OCT-2 transporter analysis.” It is reproducible and can accurately guide the physician in restoring neurotransmitter balance in the body.
