mold testing
-
Mold and mycotoxin testing may be considered when you have a known or suspected history of mold exposure, particularly if you are experiencing persistent or unexplained symptoms that may warrant a closer look at environmental exposures. Individuals may consider testing when they have lived or worked in a water-damaged or damp building, noticed mold in their environment, or are experiencing concerns such as fatigue, headaches, brain fog or cognitive changes, respiratory or sinus symptoms, digestive concerns, or other chronic symptoms that have been difficult to explain. Testing can provide additional information about potential mycotoxin exposure and may be considered as part of a broader functional medicine evaluation.

The MosaicDX MycoTOX Profile is a comprehensive urine-based mycotoxin test that measures 11 different mycotoxins and metabolites associated with several mold species and mycotoxin classes, including aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, and trichothecenes. The test uses LC-MS/MS technology to assess mycotoxins excreted in urine and can provide additional information when evaluating potential mold and mycotoxin exposure. Results are reviewed alongside your health history, symptoms, environmental exposure history, and other relevant testing to help determine whether further evaluation may be appropriate.
