Default do neuroscience supps (adrecor and travacor) work?

does anyone have thoughts on the neuroscience brand supplements? specifically adrecor and travacor?

i have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue and hashimoto thyroditis (hypothyroid) and my MD recommended a neuroscience protocol of adrecor and travcor.

the problem is, my neuropath dr. thinks the neuroscience science is unreliable. according to her, neuroscience tests measure markers of neurotrasmitters in the urine and claim that is a reflection of the action of these chemicals (serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and a few others) in your brain, which is just not true.
the neurotransmitters are big molecules and they don’t freely pass between the body and the brain (unless there is a compromised blood brain barrier), so measurements taken outside the brain are not reflective of what’s going on in the brain.

what is a reliable test for these chemicals?

either way i'm now thoroughly confused and could use some insight if anyone has had success with these supplements for treating adrenal fatigue. i've read a lot of conflicting info from people using them for depression.

thanks.
