Common symptoms of mould toxicity include:

• Respiratory issue such as exacerbation of asthma, coughing, wheezing, nasal congestion, and throat irritation.
• Allergic symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes and skin rashes, or a worsening of conditions such as eczema.
• Cognitive difficulties including brain fog, poor memory, difficulty concentrating and anxiety.
• Digestive issues, especially food intolerances, persistent bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
• Persistent muscle pain similar to fibromyalgia
• Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
• Numbness and tingling in extremities or other areas of the body
• Metallic taste in the mouth
• Vertigo or dizziness
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Significant fatigue that interferes with daily activities
• Changes in mood
• Excessive thirst and dehydration, bed-wetting in children
• Hair loss
• Skin irritations such as itching and redness.
• Reduced immunity
• Exacerbation of inflammatory or autoimmune symptoms

The test is particularly relevant for individuals who have:

• Symptoms consistent with mycotoxin exposure
• Known exposure to mouldy environments: individuals who have lived or worked in environments with known mould contamination, such as water-damaged buildings, are prime candidates for this test.
• Unexplained chronic illnesses

·       Have compromised immune systems or higher levels of oxidative stress

• A history of food poisoning since some mycotoxins are found in contaminated food
• Chronic respiratory problems
• Specific conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, neurological disorders, or autoimmune diseases where mycotoxin exposure is a suspected contributor.
  
  

The Mycotoxin Profile measures the following mycotoxins:

• Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1)
• Chaetoglobosin A
• Citrinin
• Enniatin B
• Gliotoxin
• Mycophenolic acid
• Ochratoxin A (OTA)
• Roridin E
• Sterigmatocystin (STG)
• Verrucarin A
• Zearalenone (ZEA)
  
  

The Mycotoxin Profile is a urine test and requires a first morning urine sample

Your sample needs to be sent using guaranteed next day delivery or via courier – (not included in price).

You can hold the sample in the freezer if the next day is not a working day in the UK.

Up to 32 working days.

Stop taking probiotics 2 weeks before the test.

Do not consume alcohol for 48 hours prior to collection.

Limit liquid intake starting at 6pm the night prior to collection to avoid sample dilution.

Fasting for 12 hours may increase the excretion of mycotoxins from the adipose tissue.

Females must not collect samples during menstruation.

Taking antimicrobials could potentially alter the fungal load in the body and influence the detoxification pathways, leading to altered levels of mycotoxins in the urine. This could result in lower detectable levels of mycotoxins during a urine test. Please speak to your practitioner if you are currently taking any antifungals.

It is advised that clients stay on all necessary medications.
