Mycotoxins, produced by certain mold species, are some of the most prevalent toxins and can come from many sources including buildings, vehicles, and food. These compounds have been recognized as a growing global health concern due to their acute and chronic adverse health impacts. Mycotoxin exposure can be difficult to diagnose without proper testing due to vague and often varied symptoms.

The MycoTOX Profile is Mosaic Diagnostics’ most comprehensive assessment of mycotoxins. Our urine-based assay assesses levels of 11 different mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin M1, Ochratoxin A, Zearalenone, and Trichothecenes. The MycoTOX Profile has been designed to support clinicians uncover mycotoxin exposure.

Fungi are able to grow on almost any surface, especially if the environment is warm and wet. Inner wall materials of buildings, wall paper, fiber glass 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.

Individuals exposed to molds may exhibit a wide array of non-specific, acute symptoms consistent with allergen or irritant exposure including the following: Headache, sinus conjestion-running-irritation, sneezing, sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, asthma attack, development of mold allergy, mood impairments, sensitivity to bright light, muscle aches/cramps, dizziness, skin sensitivity to electrical shocks, metallic taste in the mouth, body temperature dysregulation, memory loss/foggy thinking, fatigue, nausea, weight gain/loss (short amount of time), skin rashes, development of mold induced asthma (in children)

Symptoms and disease states that have been associated with mycotoxin exposure include the following:, Alzheimer's, autism, anxiety/depression, asthma, bronchitis, cancer, chronic fatigue, infertility, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal permeability, parkinson's disease, and liver damage.

This test is optimal for follow up testing to ensure that detoxification therapies have been successful, and pairs perfectly with the Organic Acids Test (OAT) to see how your body has been effected by mold exposure.
