Mycotoxins Mold Test

Description

Mycotoxins Mold Panel

The Mycotoxins panel measures levels of mycotoxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to. Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores. If you were diagnosed with or suspect toxic burden, impaired immunity, autoimmune disease, or exposure to mold, this panel may benefit you.Why is this test important?

• According to the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization, 25% of the world’s agricultural
  products are contaminated with mycotoxins.
• People with mold exposure can present with conditions and symptoms affecting multiple organs and systems within
  the body, including the respiratory system (sinus and lungs), musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, and connective
  tissues), and the central and peripheral nervous systems (brain, spine, and nerves).
• Symptoms of mycotoxin toxicity are often general and vague, and thus difficult to diagnose, leaving you at risk of long-term health damage.
• The Vibrant Wellness Mycotoxins panel provides the most comprehensive view of mycotoxin levels and exposure so
  you and your provider can create personalized wellness plans to prevent and resolve mycotoxin toxicity.

Perform the Mycotoxins panel in the comfort of your home.Unparalleled specificity and sensitivity. Our proprietary technology detects: Validated and accredited. Science-backed testing and analysis based on rigorous, ongoing research by clinical experts.What to expect from the test.Follow our simple instructions to perform this urine test at home.Before testing:You are not required to fast before your Mycotoxins test. However, fasting for 12 hours may increase the number of mycotoxins excreted in urine, so your provider may recommend fasting for 12 hours before testing. Your provider may recommend a “provoked” test which requires taking a “provoking agent” (such as NAC, DMSA, or EDTA) before testing to promote the release of mycotoxins. For best test performance, collect the first-morning urine upon awakening, before eating or drinking. Your provider may ask you to discontinue medications or dietary supplements. Speak with your provider to learn more. Send the test to our lab for analysis and work with your care provider to understand the results.

In what ways can mycotoxins affect the body, including their immunosuppressive, neurotoxic, and carcinogenic properties? Expand

Mycotoxins have the capacity to impact the human body in a variety of detrimental ways due to their complex properties. One such effect is their ability to act as immunosuppressants, compromising the proper functioning of the immune system. Additionally, mycotoxins exhibit neurotoxic properties, causing harm to the neurological system and manifesting in symptoms like vibration, tingling, numbness, headaches, and vision irregularities. Moreover, these toxic substances are known to be carcinogenic, potentially leading to the development of cancer in affected individuals. Beyond these notable effects, mycotoxins can also induce dermatoxic, teratogenic, nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic, genotoxic, and infertility impacts on the body, highlighting the extensive range of harm they can cause.

What are mycotoxins and why are they considered a hidden cause of health issues worldwide? Expand

According to the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization, 25% of the world’s agricultural products are contaminated with mycotoxins. It is crucial to understand that mycotoxins from mold exposure can lead to a myriad of health issues affecting various organs and systems within the body. Mold toxicity is often a hidden root cause of health problems that may go unnoticed in standard medical evaluations. Unlike many common health markers checked by regular labs, mycotoxins require specialized functional lab testing for accurate detection. The symptoms of mycotoxin toxicity can be nonspecific and challenging to diagnose, potentially putting individuals at risk of long-term health consequences.
