Neurotransmitter Synthesis Cofactors

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Synthesis Cofactors are the essential non-protein molecules, primarily vitamins and minerals, that are required for the enzymatic reactions necessary to convert precursor molecules into functional neurotransmitters. Clinically, the availability of these cofactors is often a rate-limiting step in the production of signaling molecules like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, directly impacting mood, cognition, and sleep. Supplementation with these specific cofactors is a targeted strategy to optimize neurochemical output and restore functional balance in the central nervous system.
