MycoToxins
A deeper look at potential exposure to mold-produced toxins called mycotoxins.
Mold isn't always visible, and exposure to mycotoxins can occur through the environment, air, water-damaged buildings, and contaminated foods. This at-home urine test measures mycotoxin metabolites being excreted by the body and can provide additional information when mold or mycotoxin exposure is a concern.
What It Measures
11 Mycotoxin Markers: Screens for multiple toxins produced by different types of mold
Aflatoxin M1: A mycotoxin associated with certain Aspergillus species
Ochratoxin A: Produced by several Aspergillus and Penicillium species
Sterigmatocystin: A mycotoxin produced by certain molds, including some Aspergillus species
Roridin E & Verrucarin A: Mycotoxins associated with molds such as Stachybotrys
Zearalenone: A mycotoxin commonly associated with Fusarium species
Additional Mycotoxins: Gliotoxin, mycophenolic acid, enniatin B, dihydrocitrinone, and chaetoglobosin A
Broad Mold Coverage: The panel's markers are associated with multiple mold genera and species
Why You May Want to Run It
This test may be worth considering when there is a known or suspected history of mold exposure or water-damaged environments, particularly when you're also experiencing unexplained concerns such as persistent sinus or congestion issues, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, or other ongoing symptoms.
Rather than assuming mold is contributing to how you feel, testing can provide another piece of information to consider alongside your symptoms, health history, environmental exposure, and other laboratory findings.
