1. What is the MycoToxin Profile?

The MycoToxin Profile is a specialised urine test that detects 16 different mycotoxins produced by moulds. These toxins can have a serious impact on your health, especially after long-term or hidden exposure in homes, workplaces or water-damaged environments.

2. Who should consider taking this test?

This test is ideal for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, persistent sinus issues, skin problems, or immune dysfunction particularly if you suspect exposure to mould.

3. How is the sample collected?

The MycoToxin test is a non-invasive urine collection. A sample is collected using the provided kit, which can be done conveniently at home.

4. How accurate is the MycoToxin Profile?

The test uses ELISA technology, known for its high sensitivity and specificity in detecting mycotoxins. Each sample is tested for 16 toxins from 5 major mycotoxin families.

5. How long does it take to get my results?

Once your sample reaches the lab, results are typically ready within 10 business days. We notify you once your report is uploaded to your secure patient portal.

6. What does the test detect?

The MycoToxin Profile detects:

• Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2)
• Trichothecenes (Stratoxins, Roridins, Verrucarins)
• Other Mycotoxins including Gliotoxin, Ochratoxin A, and Zearalenone (ZEA)

7. Can mycotoxins affect long-term health?

Yes. Long-term exposure to mycotoxins can affect the nervous system, immune system, hormone balance, and even increase the risk of cancer. Early detection through testing is key to proper detoxification and recovery.

8. Will this test tell me where the mould exposure came from?

No, this test will not pinpoint the source of exposure. It simply confirms whether your body shows signs of mycotoxin burden. However, positive results can be a strong indicator to investigate your environment.

9. Is any preparation needed before the test?

Minimal preparation is needed. We generally recommend staying well-hydrated, avoiding certain supplements, and collecting your first-morning urine sample for best accuracy. Detailed instructions will be included in your kit.

10. What happens if my results are positive?

If your results indicate elevated mycotoxin levels, our team can advise on next steps, which may include functional medicine support, detox protocols, and environmental assessment.
