Two Very Different Causes of Neurotransmitter Imbalance

Neurotransmitter imbalances are not a simple case of ‘not having enough’; rather, it is a case of balance, and that balance can get thrown off by two very different processes, which require very different approaches to correct.

However, most people don’t understand what transporters are or what they do. Here is the science behind what transporters are, what they do and why they are so important to the success of amino acid therapy.
