What this test reveals
What this test reveals
Mycotoxin testing measures the toxic byproducts of mold species in your urine, revealing exposure to dangerous mold toxins like ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and gliotoxin that accumulate from water-damaged buildings.
Mold illness (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome — CIRS) affects an estimated 25% of the population who are genetically susceptible. Mycotoxins are potent neurotoxins and immune suppressors that drive chronic fatigue, brain fog, respiratory issues, and multi-system inflammation — yet conventional medicine rarely tests for them.
People usually reach for this kind of diagnostic when they want a clearer read on ochratoxin a (kidney and immune toxin), aflatoxins (liver carcinogen, immune suppressor), trichothecenes (t-2 toxin, mitochondrial poison), especially when symptoms or prior testing still leave blind spots.
Once results are back, you can upload them into Gabriel to connect the findings to symptoms, protocols, and next-step testing instead of leaving them as a static report.
Commonly relevant for: Mold Illness, Chronic Fatigue Fibromyalgia, Brain Health Neurodegeneration.
Gabriel difference
Why this becomes more useful inside Gabriel
Mold toxicity is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions in medicine. Patients are told they have chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or 'stress' when the real culprit is mycotoxin exposure from a water-damaged home or workplace. Mycotoxins damage mitochondria, suppress the immune system, and create systemic inflammation. Gabriel uses mycotoxin panel results to confirm mold exposure, guide environmental remediation, and design detoxification protocols using binders (cholestyramine, activated charcoal), drainage support, and immune restoration.
Gabriel interprets results through a functional, root-cause lens: optimal ranges, pattern recognition across multiple diagnostics, and what the findings actually mean for action rather than just classification.
That means this test can feed directly into protocols, practitioner matching, food strategy, and follow-up testing instead of ending as a one-off PDF or lab portal result.
What to expect
What to expect from ordering to results
01
Order
Order directly through Mosaic Diagnostics (MycoTOX) or ask Gabriel whether there is a better path first.
02
Complete
Collect a first-morning urine sample at home using the provided kit. Avoid eating grains, nuts, or coffee for 48 hours before collection (these can contain dietary mycotoxins that confound results).
03
Interpret
Upload the results to Gabriel for pattern recognition, protocol suggestions, and next-step guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Questions people usually ask before ordering
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds like Aspergillus, Stachybotrys (black mold), and Fusarium. Exposure typically comes from water-damaged buildings, contaminated food, or coffee. They can cause neurological symptoms, immune suppression, hormone disruption, and chronic fatigue.
A urine sample collected at home identifies specific mycotoxin metabolites. Some labs (RealTime Labs, Great Plains/MosaicDX) also offer nasal swabs. The test measures ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, gliotoxin, and other mycotoxin markers.
Yes. Mycotoxin exposure is linked to chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), cognitive impairment, hormone disruption, immune suppression, respiratory issues, and neurological symptoms. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker's research established the CIRS framework connecting mold exposure to multi-system illness.
Treatment focuses on three steps: remove the exposure source (remediate your home or move), bind the toxins (cholestyramine, activated charcoal, bentonite clay), and support detox pathways (glutathione, NAC, sweating). Most protocols take 3-6 months.
Typically $300-400. RealTime Labs and MosaicDX (formerly Great Plains) are the most widely used labs. Insurance rarely covers it. If you suspect mold exposure, also consider environmental testing of your home (ERMI or HERTSMI-2).
