There is no such thing as a standardized NT test(blood) approved by the FDA or

any legit medical organization. AD's are passed out like candy with no approved

NT blood tests. just say NO to AD's!

NS is not necessarily " the " lab (and their related consulting

and pricey combination products business model is not

suited to everyone, especially the more independent- minded

customer).  The histamine line item from NS can be useful though, and histamine

cannot be extrapolated or assumed based on

histidine amino acid results. I'd prefer the OA + UAA tests for most purposes

though, and 4 basic NTs (serotonin, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine) are included

in those, plus tons more info for the serious student or health professional. 

After having seen many NS lab, vs. OA and UAA test results, I am somewhat

undecided about NS as a lab  (regardless of business model).  In conventional

med, the catecholamines/ metanephrines test, with a 24-hr urine collection

gives  serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, though ref ranges used

are too wide.
