Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by environmental moulds. They can impact multiple systems including the nervous, immune, and respiratory systems. Long-term exposure, especially from water-damaged environments, may contribute to ongoing inflammation, fatigue, or brain fog. The MycoTOX Profile helps identify whether mould-derived toxins are part of your overall toxin load.

Exposure may occur in homes, workplaces, cars, or schools affected by dampness or hidden mould. Even without visible growth, spores or toxins can circulate through air-conditioning or porous materials. Testing (MycoTOX Profile, IgE Mould Allergy Test), can help determine whether mould is contributing to your symptoms or environment-related health changes.

Yes. Many people experiencing persistent fatigue, poor concentration, or stress intolerance find that toxin exposure or mineral imbalance may be contributing factors. Toxic exposure tests like MycoTOX, TOXDetect and HTMA help clarify whether chemical, heavy-metal, or mould toxins could be influencing your energy, detoxification, or metabolic balance.

Collect your first-morning mid-stream urine after at least six hours of sleep.

I may provide you with specific advice regarding preparation instructions and whether gentle binders or antioxidant support should be paused or continued beforehand.

Freeze the sample for a minimum of four hours (and up to one week) before shipping. Ideally post on a Monday to ensure prompt delivery to the laboratory.

Yes. Re-testing can confirm whether environmental or chemical exposures have reduced and help track changes in toxin elimination and mineral balance over time.

For MycoTOX Profile, TOXDetect tests, avoid non-essential supplements such as magnesium, fish oil, or high-dose antioxidants for two days prior to testing. Continue essential medications only as directed by your practitioner, as some compounds may alter test readings.

for MycoTOX Profile and TOXDetect tests, it’s best to delay collection until you’re well and not menstruating, as these factors can affect sample integrity and results. Wait until your cycle ends or symptoms settle before collecting your sample.

A small sample of clean, untreated hair is cut close to the scalp (about 1–1.5 cm in length). Hair is usually taken from the nape or back of the head, as this provides the most recent metabolic information. Only a small amount (around a heaped teaspoon) is needed. You will; be provided with a test kit with full instructions on how to take the sample.

It’s best to collect new hair growth that hasn’t been chemically treated, coloured, bleached, permed, or straightened. If all hair is treated, wait at least six weeks after colouring before collecting, and take the sample from new growth close to the scalp.

Yes. beard, underarm, or chest hair can be accepted if scalp hair is not available. These samples may reflect slightly different time periods of exposure.
