Mycotoxins are toxins naturally produced by fungal organisms (molds), not all cause harm, but the ones that can, can wreak havoc on our health and well-being.
Mycotoxin testing is growing in awareness due to some fungal organisms’ harmful effects on human and animal cells, causing cellular dysfunctions associated with various symptoms and diseases.
The Mycotoxin Panel from US BioTek offers mycotoxin testing using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). An established immunological technique, ELISA is widely used to detect the presence of specific toxins in a patient’s urine. The Mycotoxin Panel looks for 16 of the most common Mycotoxins produced by 5 Mycotoxin families Those Mycotoxins are:
Aflatoxins
Aflatoxin B1
Aflatoxin B2
Aflatoxin G1
Aflatoxin G2
Trichothecenes
Stratoxin G
Stratoxin H
Isosatratoxin F
Roridin A
Roridin E
Roridin H
Roridin L-2
Verrucarin J
Verrucarin A
Other Mycotoxins
Gliotoxin
Ochratoxin A (OTA)
