Mycotoxin Test (Mould)
Why it Matters
Exposure to mould and mycotoxins can have a profound impact on energy, immune function, and overall health, yet it is often overlooked as a root cause of chronic symptoms and chronic disease.
The Mycotoxin Test is a highly sensitive urine test that detects toxic metabolites produced by mould, helping to uncover hidden environmental exposures.
At Goode Health, we see how mycotoxin-related illness can contribute to burnout, chronic fatigue, brain fog, thyroid dysfunction, and autoimmune conditions.
Mycotoxins can disrupt the immune system, trigger inflammation, impair detoxification pathways, and lead to persistent, unexplained symptoms that don’t improve with conventional treatments. Identifying and addressing mould toxicity is a crucial step in restoring energy, cognitive function, and immune resilience.
Markers
Aflatoxins (M1) – Produced by Aspergillus mould; linked to immune suppression, liver stress, and oxidative damage.
Chaetoglobosin A – A mycotoxin with cytotoxic effects, impacting cellular health.
Citrinin (CTN) – Affects kidney function, mitochondrial energy production, and detoxification.
Enniatin – Disrupts cellular function and has antimicrobial resistance implications.
Gliotoxin – Suppresses immune function and is often linked to Candida overgrowth.
Mycophenolic Acid – Suppresses immune function and can contribute to chronic infections.
Ochratoxin A (OTA) – Common in water-damaged buildings; affects kidney function, immune health, and neurological balance.
Sterigmatocystin – A precursor to aflatoxins, impacting liver detoxification and immune balance.
Zearalenone (ZEA) – Mimics oestrogen and can contribute to hormonal imbalances and reproductive issues.
Trichothecenes (Verrucaroin A, Roridin E) – Produced by Stachybotrys (‘black mould’); highly toxic to the nervous system and gut lining.
Who should consider this test
✔ Persistent Fatigue & Low Energy – Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by mycotoxins can lead to chronic exhaustion.
✔ Brain Fog & Cognitive Issues – Memory problems, poor concentration, and mental sluggishness.
✔ Unexplained Autoimmune Symptoms – Mycotoxins can trigger immune dysregulation, contributing to autoimmune conditions.
✔ Thyroid Dysfunction – Mould exposure can impair thyroid hormone conversion and contribute to hypothyroidism.
✔ Frequent Infections & Low Immunity – Chronic colds, sinus infections, or difficulty recovering from illness.
✔ Sinus Congestion & Respiratory Issues – Chronic sinusitis, asthma, or a persistent cough that doesn’t resolve.
✔ Digestive Issues & Food Sensitivities – Mycotoxins can disrupt gut health, leading to bloating, IBS-like symptoms, or increased food intolerances.
✔ Unexplained Hormonal Imbalances – Irregular periods, fertility issues, or worsening PMS symptoms.
✔ Skin Rashes & Sensitivities – Eczema, hives, or unexplained itching.
✔ History of Mould Exposure – Living or working in a damp or water-damaged building.
✔ Chemical Sensitivities – Increased reactions to fragrances, cleaning products, or environmental toxins.
✔ Detoxification Issues – Difficulty tolerating alcohol, medications, or supplements, indicating impaired liver detox pathways.
