MC900438717Recall from our Introduction to Amino Acid Therapy that amino acid therapy entails supplying each person the right balance of amino acids they need along with the other nutrients (called cofactors) to restore proper neurotransmitter function. This process often requires specialized laboratory testing to help determine each person’s ideal amino acid dosing. Once proper neurotransmitter balance is restored, symptoms related to neurotransmitter imbalance disappear. (more…)
