Description
What The MycoToxin Panel Measures
This lab test analyses your urine for mycotoxins, the toxic by-products produced by mould species commonly found in damp homes, workplaces and older buildings.
These toxins can affect:
• immune function
• mitochondrial energy production
• inflammation
• digestion
• mood and cognitive function
• detox pathways
Understanding your mycotoxin load helps us pinpoint whether mould toxicity could be contributing to your symptoms — and guides a safe, effective recovery plan.
What This Test Can (and Can’t) Tell Us
What it shows
The test reveals which mycotoxins your body is currently excreting, helping us understand whether mould toxins are impacting your health.
What it doesn’t show
It cannot distinguish between:
-
recent exposure (current damp environment)
-
past exposure (stored toxins being released)
Some people with slow detox pathways may show very low levels even when exposed, while others may show high levels as their body begins clearing older toxins.
This is why results are always interpreted alongside your symptoms, history and home environment.
Is This Test Right for You?
You may benefit from testing if you experience:
✓ Ongoing fatigue or post-viral symptoms
✓ Brain fog, headaches or poor concentration
✓ Sinus congestion, allergies or respiratory issues
✓ Anxiety, mood swings or unexplained irritability
✓ Sensitivity to damp, musty environments
✓ Gut symptoms that don’t fully resolve
✓ “Never been well since…” moving to a new home
✓ Chronic inflammation or unexplained flare-ups
✓ Histamine intolerance or unexplained reactions
If you’ve tried improving your health but still feel ‘off’, mycotoxins may be part of the picture.
What’s Included
✓ At-home urine test kit delivered to your door
✓ Full laboratory analysis
✓ Personalised interpretation by a functional nutritionist specialising in gut–brain health
✓ A clear written report explaining your results
✓ Targeted recommendations to support detoxification, energy and inflammation
✓ Optional consultation and follow-up support
This test does not diagnose mould in your property. If needed, I can recommend trusted environmental testing services.

The MycoToxin Panel utilises Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a widely used biochemical technique for detecting and quantifying the presence of antibodies, antigens, proteins, hormones, and other molecules in biological samples. In ELISA, a specific antigen or antibody is immobilized on a solid surface such as a microplate well. The sample containing the target molecule is added to the well, allowing any complementary molecules to bind to the immobilized antigen or antibody. After washing away unbound molecules, a secondary antibody conjugated with an enzyme is added, which binds specifically to the target molecule. Subsequent addition of a substrate for the enzyme leads to a colour change or fluorescence, which is measured spectrophotometrically. The intensity of the colour or fluorescence is directly proportional to the amount of target molecule present in the sample, enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Consider the MycoToxin Panel for detecting 16 mycotoxins, crucial for assessing health risks linked to mould exposure in contaminated environments like water-damaged buildings. Early detection aids in mitigating risks associated with neurological conditions, respiratory issues, chronic fatigue, and various systemic symptoms.
