What This Test Measures

This test measures 16 mycotoxins across several toxin families, including:

-

Aflatoxins

Toxic compounds linked to mold-contaminated food and water-damaged environments.

The Aflatoxin group includes:

• Aflatoxin B1

• Aflatoxin B2

• Aflatoxin G1

• Aflatoxin G2

Aflatoxins are reported as one combined group result, as these compounds belong to the same toxin family and are commonly found together in contaminated foods and environments.

-

Trichothecenes

A group of mycotoxins that may affect immune and cellular function.

Includes several Trichothecenes, such as:

• Satratoxin G

• Satratoxin H

• Isosatratoxin F

• Roridin A

• Roridin E

• Roridin H

• Roridin L-2

• Verrucarin J

• Verrucarin A

Trichothecenes are reported as one combined group result because these toxins are closely related compounds that are often produced together by the same molds.

-

Other Mycotoxins

The test also measures the following mycotoxins individually:

• Gliotoxin

• Ochratoxin A (OTA)

• Zearalenone (ZEA)

These are reported with separate individual results.

About Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by molds that can be found in water-damaged buildings, contaminated food, air, and damp indoor environments. Exposure levels may vary depending on environmental conditions, lifestyle, and individual sensitivity.

Research has shown that mold-related toxins may influence processes connected to oxidative stress, immune balance, and overall well-being.

Symptoms Associated With Mold Exposure

Exposure to mycotoxins and mold-contaminated environments may affect individuals differently depending on exposure levels, environment, and individual sensitivity.

Commonly reported symptoms associated with mold exposure may include:

• Fatigue and low energy

• Brain fog and concentration difficulties

• Headaches

• Sinus congestion and respiratory irritation

• Coughing or shortness of breath

• Skin irritation

• Digestive discomfort

• Muscle and joint discomfort

• Increased sensitivity to damp indoor environments

These symptoms are non-specific and may have many possible causes. Laboratory testing can provide additional insight into potential environmental mold exposure.

How It Works

• Order Your Kit: Purchase your test online.

• Collect Your Sample: Use the urine collection kit at home with your first-morning urine sample.

• Send It Back: Mail your sample to the laboratory using the prepaid return envelope.

• Receive Results: Access your digital laboratory results within approximately 10 business days after the lab receives your sample.

Sample Collection

The sample is collected using a simple urine test at home. For best results, the sample should be collected using the first-morning urine after approximately 6–8 hours of rest. A mid-stream urine sample is recommended.

Avoid excessive fluid intake the evening before sample collection, as overly diluted samples may affect analysis quality. Avoid collecting the sample during menstruation or urinary tract infections.

CAP- and CLIA-Certified Lab and Analysis

Your sample is analyzed in a CAP- and CLIA-certified laboratory using established ELISA technology (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) to ensure accurate and reliable detection of mycotoxins.

Biomarkers included

• Zearalenone: Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium molds that commonly contaminate grains and cereals. It is known for its estrogen-like activity and is often monitored in food safety testing.
• Roridin L-2: Roridin L-2 is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin associated with mould growth in damp indoor environments and moisture damaged materials. It is often discussed in relation to immune related strain, meaning it may be relevant when mould toxin exposure appears to affect normal resilience, recovery and inflammatory balance. Higher levels may suggest exposure to trichothecene producing moulds.
• Roridin E: Roridin E is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin that may be produced by moulds associated with damp or water damaged environments. It is especially discussed in relation to disrupted cell activity, including how cells produce and use important proteins. Higher levels may suggest exposure to trichothecene producing moulds and should be understood together with the wider mycotoxin profile.
• Satratoxin G: Satratoxin G is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin that may be produced by moulds associated with water damaged buildings and damp indoor environments, especially Stachybotrys species. It is especially discussed in relation to broad cell stress, including how cells copy information and produce important proteins. Higher levels may suggest exposure to trichothecene producing moulds and can be re
• Roridin A: Roridin A is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin associated with certain moulds, including Stachybotrys species. It is often linked to water damaged indoor environments, damp materials and mould contaminated surroundings. Roridin A is one of the central roridin markers and is discussed in relation to cell stress, immune related strain and general wellbeing.
• Satratoxin H: Satratoxin H is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin associated with indoor mould exposure and moisture damaged materials, including moulds such as Stachybotrys species. It is often discussed in relation to reduced protein production in cells, which matters because proteins are needed for tissue repair, immune function, gut barrier maintenance, muscle function and recovery. Higher levels may sugg
• Isosatratoxin F: Isosatratoxin F is a macrocyclic trichothecene mycotoxin linked to moulds found in damp and water damaged environments. It is often discussed in relation to immune related strain, meaning it may be relevant when mould toxin exposure appears to affect normal resilience, inflammatory balance and recovery. Higher levels may suggest exposure to trichothecene producing moulds, especially when other tri

How to prepare

Avoid testing during menstruation or urinary tract infections. Fill the tube to the 7 ml line and avoid excessive fluid intake before sample collection, as diluted samples may affect results. If using methylene blue, wait until the urine color returns to normal before testing.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work? / When do I get my results?

1. Order and receive your kit. 2. Perform the test. 3. Send a sample at the beginning of the week (to avoid delays). 4. Results digitally in 10–15 business days.

Why is ELISA technology used instead of mass spectrometry?

ELISA technology is highly sensitive and specifically designed to detect the unique protein structures of mycotoxins. It is particularly effective at identifying "masked" or modified mycotoxins that might be missed by other laboratory methods, providing a more reliable assessment of chronic mold exposure.
