MycoTOX Profile - Fungi and Mold Toxins Test

Mycotoxins are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment. Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mold, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foodstuffs.   A majority of mycotoxin exposures are through food ingestion or airborne exposure.  In the European Union, 20% of all grains harvested are contaminated with mycotoxins. Unfortunately, mycotoxins are resistant to heat and many processing procedures.

Fungi can grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. Inner wall materials of buildings, wallpaper, fiberglass insulation, ceiling tiles, and gypsum support are all good surfaces for fungi to colonize.  These fungi then release mycotoxins into the environment, causing symptoms of many different chronic diseases.

Indications:

• Liver disease 
• Dizziness
• Dermatitis 
• Confusion
• Fever 
• Irritability
• Vomiting 
• Difficulty concentrating
• Anorexia 
• Allergic rhinitis
• Jaundice 
• Asthma
• Headaches 
• Legionnaires ’ disease
• Nausea 
• Fibromyalgia
• Sore throat
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Diarrhea
• Food allergies
• Fatigue
• Thyroid irregularities
• Blurred vision 
• Balance problems
• Difficulty breathing 
• Infertility
• Vertigo 
• Seizures

MycoTOX screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mold, in one urine sample. Analytes tested:

• OCHRATOXIN A (OTA) 
• AFLATOXIN M1 (AFM1)
• STERIGMATOCYSTIN (STG) 
• RORIDIN E 
• VERRUCARIN A
• ENNIATIN B1 
• ZEARALENONE (ZEA) 
• GLIOTOXIN
• MYCOPHENOLIC ACID 
• DIHYDROCITRINONE 
• CHAETOGLOBOSIN A

MycoTOX uses the power of advanced mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which is necessary to detect lower levels of these fungal toxins.  This test is optimal for follow-up testing to ensure that detoxification therapies have been successful.

How does it work?

A Urine Analysis test kit will be sent to you by mail. Once completed, a booking can be made with the designated courier to collect the kit (with no additional charges), which will be delivered to the laboratory for testing.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

All test kits are shipped and are expected to arrive within a few working days. The shipped test kits are considered concluded orders and are non-refundable any longer.

Average processing time:

18-21 days, after the test kits are returned to the lab. Return tests to the lab within 90 days of the order.

How do I take a sample?

All kits include straightforward instructions, allowing you to obtain a sample at home easily.

Are the tests reliable?

Yes! We use leading accredited laboratories to ensure that our testing is of the highest quality.

What will I receive after the test has been processed?

A report will then be generated with detailed information about the tested areas and recommended interventions. This test requires specialized knowledge for interpretation. You will be provided with a secure login on the lab platforms to view and download the results.

What happens after I receive the results?

You will be presented with the option to book an appointment with the doctor to further discuss the test results. The appointment will last about 30-60 minutes (includes the time the doctor needs to study the results), during which professional interpretation, further advice, and a possible therapeutic plan, based on your results, will be provided.

Privacy policy:

The original sample material is destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. No other research or analyses are performed without separate permission from the patient. We do not give or sell the results to any third parties.
