Neurotransmitter Cofactor Requirements

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Cofactor Requirements are the specific, non-negotiable dietary and endogenous micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, that are absolutely essential for the synthesis, metabolism, and functional signaling of neurotransmitters. Clinical assessment of these requirements ensures that the biochemical machinery for brain communication, which governs mood, focus, and sleep, is operating without rate-limiting substrate deficiencies. Addressing these cofactors is a foundational, non-negotiable step in any comprehensive neurochemical optimization protocol.
