Sanesco Health International is a biomedical company providing licensed healthcare practitioners with innovative, evidence-based and clinically-effective solutions. We have built our business on a cornerstone of responsible and ethical operations, incorporating these principles into how we plan and conduct our operations, and how we engage and work with our network practitioners and business partners. Through these efforts, we maintain a culture of trust and dependability with our employees, network providers, and their patients.
Assessing, monitoring and correcting neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances is not just what we do, it’s ALL we do. We believe in identifying the underlying root causes behind symptoms and conditions affecting HPA-T Axis function. We offer a specialized, clinical model to help health care practitioners see each patient holistically on a neuroendocrine level, and to guide their patients on a healthier path.
Sanesco’s Communication System Management clinical model includes:
- non-invasive functional laboratory testing with NeuroLab™
- personalized patient-centered reporting
- all-natural nutritional formulas with Targeted Nutritional Therapy™
Our team’s clinical expertise, on-staff clinician support, complimentary interpretations, education and hands-on training mean better results for practitioners and their patients. The reason why we choose to specialize in optimizing HPA-T Axis function is because of the pivotal role it plays in the body’s Communication System as a whole.
Upstream biochemical imbalances found in the critical messengers of this axis can contribute to the manifestation of cognitive function issues, mood disorders and other symptoms and conditions such as: depression, anxiety, insomnia or sleep concerns, Alzheimer’s, dementia and memory loss, impairments of focus and attention, PTSD, weight issues, metabolic syndrome, blood sugar regulation, diabetes, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, sexual health, menopause, autism, ADD/ADHD, and addictions. Optimizing function of the HPA-T Axis has a positive effect on the rest of the neuroendocrine system and balancing the body’s Communication System as a whole. This creates our clinical model which is key to addressing a plethora of symptoms and conditions, and optimizing health and overall quality of life.
NeuroLab and Company Integrity
The integrity of any lab is defined by its standards and quality, the people behind it, and the lab’s technology and procedures. After all, you’re not just trusting your lab ‘partner’ to produce accurate neurotransmitter and hormone testing results for your patients—you are also entrusting them with your integrity, and your reputation.
It’s important to do your homework and select a lab that provides more than just fast results at an attractive price point.
Integrity of the Lab: Are there any legal citations or violations? Is it reliable?
For more than 10 years, NeuroLab® has served as an important resource at the forefront of patient-centered care, measuring biomarkers to address root cause of many chronic health issues. NeuroLab® is a leading specialist in the technology, analysis, and research of the biomarkers associated with HPA-T Axis function.
With both CLIA and COLA accreditation, we are fully compliant with current practices and have never failed an inspection. We deliver the most accurate, reproducible and reliable results, complete with an impeccable reputation and scrupulous attention to detail.

Lab Technology and Procedures: Is the equipment the most advanced and precise?
Neurolab® has recently invested in a new LC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) system. One of the most advanced of its kind, it was purchased to further the analysis and research of the biomarkers associated with HPA Axis function. The LC-MS system is the gold standard used to measure small molecules such as monoamines and catecholamines, and is found only in the most advanced laboratories. Additionally, we confirm our high operating standards through independent, 3rd party verification of our quality systems, processes, and procedures. NeuroLab® results are accurate, reliable, and reproducible.
Our mission is to provide practitioners with clinical tools to open a window into their patients’ neuroendocrine system. As patient demand for integrative healthcare options increases, we aim to support this growing need by partnering with practitioners, like you, whose current clinical approach and healing philosophy aligns with our mission.
