How to Test Your Neurotransmitters at Home in Sweden - A Complete Guide
Testing your own neurotransmitters used to require a clinic visit and a specialist referral. Today, with a test like NeuroSpot from Amodo Medical, you can do it from home using simple saliva and urine samples — and get laboratory-grade results within a few weeks. This guide walks you through everything: what gets measured, how to collect samples correctly, what the results mean, and how to choose between NeuroSpot and NeuroSpot+.
Step 1 — Decide if You Need the Test
Neurotransmitter testing is most useful for people experiencing persistent stress, burnout, anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, brain fog, low libido, sugar cravings or unexplained physical symptoms. If your complaints have not responded to lifestyle changes alone, knowing your neurochemistry can guide a much more targeted recovery.
Step 2 — Choose Between NeuroSpot and NeuroSpot+
NeuroSpot (2 995 SEK) covers serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, cortisol (3 samples) and DHEA. NeuroSpot+ (3 995 SEK) adds GABA and glutamate. Choose NeuroSpot+ if your symptoms include anxiety, panic, insomnia, brain fog, tremors or chronic muscle tension. Otherwise the standard NeuroSpot is sufficient.
Step 3 — Order and Receive the Testkit
Order online in our webshop; the kit arrives within 1–3 business days. It contains saliva collection tubes, a urine container, clear written instructions, and a prepaid return envelope.
Step 4 — Collect Your Samples
Sample collection takes one day. Saliva samples for cortisol are collected three times (morning, midday, evening) so the lab can map your daily cortisol rhythm. Urine is collected as a single sample. Avoid alcohol, intense exercise and certain supplements the day before — the kit instructions list everything.
Step 5 — Send and Wait for Results
Drop the prepaid envelope at any Swedish post office. The samples are analysed in our ISO-accredited European laboratory. Within 2–3 weeks you receive a personalised report with all measured values, reference ranges, and an interpretive summary.
Step 6 — Act on Your Results
Your report identifies which neurotransmitters and hormones are out of range. From there, work with your doctor, naturopath or therapist to build a targeted recovery plan combining nutrition, lifestyle changes and — where appropriate — medical care.
