What is the purpose of this test?
The Myco-Metabolic Panel - Mosaic Diagnostics Test Kit is a comprehensive testing tool that combines the MycoTOX Profile and the Organic Acids Test (OAT) to identify markers related to mold exposure and various metabolic, nutritional, and gut health imbalances. This test measures mold toxins, or mycotoxins, which are harmful chemicals produced by mold. Exposure to mycotoxins can happen through contaminated air, water, or food and may lead to health issues like chronic fatigue, headaches, and respiratory problems. With this panel, you’ll get insights into how these toxins may be affecting your health, as well as a thorough look at key organic acids tied to energy production, gut bacteria balance, and vitamin levels.
The test analyzes 76 organic acids from a single, easy-to-collect urine sample, offering a broad picture of your metabolic health. Organic acids can reveal underlying issues such as nutrient deficiencies, microbial imbalances, or detoxification problems that might be hindering your well-being. By detecting mycotoxins alongside these organic acids, the Myco-Metabolic Panel provides essential insights into the relationship between mold exposure and metabolic function, allowing for targeted health improvements and more personalized wellness recommendations.

Preparation:Collect your urine sample first thing in the morning before eating or drinking. Collect on a Monday-Thursday to ensure timely delivery to the lab. Avoid foods like apples, grapes, and tea for 48 hours before collection. Do not collect if menstruating; wait until the following week. Wait 48 hours after completing antibiotics before collecting your sample. Avoid glutathione, charcoal, and bentonite clay for 3 days before collection. Consult with your physician before discontinuing any medications. Freeze the urine sample for at least 4 hours before shipping. Read all of the instructions carefully.
Test Results:
7-14 business days once received at lab. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.
