Mycotoxin Panel Test 

Mycotoxin Testing screens the body for toxic compounds produced by mold (mycotoxins) that can accumulate from environmental exposure, contaminated food, or water-damaged buildings. Chronic exposure may lead to fatigue, cognitive difficulties, immune dysfunction, and digestive issues.

With at-home sample collection, clients in Dubai can conveniently assess their mycotoxin burden without visiting a clinic.

? Purpose / Clinical Significance

Why test for mycotoxins?
Early detection allows for targeted detox, environmental remediation, and symptom management.

Key Benefits:

• Detects common mycotoxins (e.g., aflatoxins, ochratoxins, trichothecenes)

• Supports diagnosis of chronic mold exposure symptoms

• Helps optimize immune function and reduce inflammation

• Guides personalized detox or nutritional interventions

• Enhances recovery for individuals with chronic fatigue, brain fog, or GI issues

⚙️ Testing Methodology

• Sample Type: Urine (most common) or blood

• Collection: At home by DHA-licensed nurse

• Analysis: High-sensitivity ELISA or LC-MS/MS for accurate mycotoxin detection

• Interpretation: Specialist review with personalized report and detox recommendations

? Sample Collection & Protocol

• Sample Type: Urine (first morning preferred) or blood

• Collection: Conducted safely at home by licensed nurse

• Turnaround: 5–10 working days

• Preparation:

  • Avoid mycotoxin-rich foods (peanuts, corn, moldy cheeses) 24–48 hours prior

  • Hydrate well

• Follow-Up: Optional consultation to discuss results and remediation plan

? Who Should Consider Mycotoxin Testing?

✅ Ideal For:

• Individuals with unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or memory issues

• People with recurrent respiratory or sinus problems

• Residents of water-damaged buildings

• Individuals with chronic GI complaints (IBS, bloating)

• Immune-compromised patients or those seeking detox optimization

? Monitoring & Evaluation

• Mycotoxin levels vs. reference ranges

• Symptom correlation (fatigue, cognitive issues, GI health)

• Recommendations for detox, diet, or environmental remediation

Optional Supportive Tests:

• Oxidative stress markers

• Liver function panels

• Comprehensive GI panels

? Follow-Up & Optimization

• Initial Screening: One-time or every 6–12 months for high-risk individuals

• Post-Detox Recheck: After 8–12 weeks

• Supportive Therapies:

  • Glutathione IV or oral supplements

  • Activated charcoal or binders

  • Sauna or detox programs
