Mycotoxin

Our Mycotoxin Test is ideal for individuals who suspect exposure to mould or are experiencing unexplained, chronic symptoms that could be linked to mycotoxins.

Mycotoxins (toxins from mould) are some of the most prevalent toxins in our environment.

Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mould, which can infest buildings, vehicles, and foods. Most mycotoxin exposures in the UK are through airborne exposure.

They interfere with cellular structures and important cellular processes.

Most mycotoxins can cause immune system complications, and many are cytotoxic (damaging to cells) and could potentially damage skin, lungs, and the gut microbiome.

Exposure can result in mitochondrial damage as well as glutathione depletion, damage macrophage systems and raise sensitivity to bacterial endotoxins; and be associated with numerous health concerns.
