Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter that regulates alertness, focus, and energy levels.
Details
Norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline) is a neurotransmitter involved in alertness, attention, energy, and the stress response.
Low levels are associated with fatigue, poor concentration, and depression. High levels can lead to anxiety and restlessness.
Antidepressants such as SNRIs (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) help regulate the levels of this substance. Regular exercise also supports norepinephrine balance. — Mindy
