The Mycotoxins panel measures levels of mycotoxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to. Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores. If you were diagnosed with or suspect toxic burden, impaired immunity, autoimmune disease, or exposure to mold, this panel may benefit you.
Why this test is important
According to the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization, 25% of the world’s agricultural products are contaminated with mycotoxins.
People with mold exposure can present with conditions and symptoms affecting multiple organs and systems within the body, including respiratory system (sinus and lungs), musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, and connective tissues), and the central and peripheral nervous systems (brain,spine, and nerves).
Symptoms of mycotoxin toxicity are often general and vague, and thus difficult to diagnose, leaving you at risk of long-term health damage.
The Vibrant Wellness Mycotoxins panel provides the most comprehensive view of mycotoxin levels and exposure so you and your provider can create personalized wellness plans to prevent and resolve mycotoxin toxicity.
