If you do not select the Lab Results Only package, then In ADDITION to your lab report we provide the following options which are INCLUDED in the package prices;

A) Follow up personalised written report produced by our clinical team highlighting dietary and lifestyle advice plus links to supplement protocols, specific doses and any further testing requirements included. We use the patient information you provide us at checkout along with your results to compile personalised action points for you.

OR

B) Follow up 30-minute video call to discuss your results and answer any questions you have. Once the lab has completed your results you will be sent these via email with a link to book a time and day online. You will also then be given the option to upgrade your 30-minute call to a 45-minute call for an additional £30 if you wish. During the call your practitioner will explain the results in more detail and what they mean for you. After your call you are sent a personalised list of supplements & the dose your practitioner advises with links to purchase from our supplements store. This is for your convenience. You are of course welcome to purchase supplements elsewhere. You will also be provided with a list of follow up tests should this be required plus a copy of your recorded Zoom call which you can download and keep.

OR

C) Both Zoom call and written report with personalised next steps (Zoom call is first and written report follows).

This urine screen kit is posted to you from the UK within 24-48 hours of ordering so you should receive your test kit within a few days via DHL.

The kit comes with full instructions on urine collection and storage. We recommend you take your sample first thing in the morning. The sample comes with a freezer bag. Please freeze your sample for a minimum of 4-6 hours before you send it back.

The sample must be shipped within 48 hours of collection. It is recommend collecting your sample on Monday or Tuesday and returning it the same day after freezing, or the next day.

When we receive your results back from  the laboratory (approx 3 weeks) we will email you your PDF report and, if you have chosen a support package, you will also receive our functional medicine advice to support your recovery. Our team have been working with mould illnesses for some years and are specialist in clearing any moulds found in your system.

If you are ordering from outside the UK we will ship via DHL or Fedex with return labels.

Fill the collection tube to between the 7 ml and 9 ml markers of your first morning urine before food or drink is consumed. Fasting for 12 hours prior to taking your sample increases the excretion of mycotoxins from the adipose tissue, thereby giving us the most accurate reading.

The reason we ask for your first morning urine is that it is normally the most concentrated sample and has the highest PPM (parts per million). If you have bladder issues, we suggest picking another time in the day, but a minimum requirement for an accurate result is 3 hours between urination.

No. Mould illnesses can leave patients very unwell, and the high level of sensitivity in the testing procedure means this testing is suitable for all patients including those who are bed bound.

No, you do not need to discontinue taking any supplements or medications before this test. And do not discontinue any medications or supplements without first consulting your healthcare practitioner

The main difference lies in the number of markers tested, methodology, and specific manufacturer, rather than a fundamental difference in how they are used (both are urine-based assessments for mould toxicity).

Here is the breakdown of the differences:

1. Mycotoxin Panel Test - RealTime Labs

Scope: Tests for 16 of the most common and toxic mycotoxins.

Highlights: Known for detecting high levels of macrocyclic trichothecenes (produced by Stachybotrys or "black mould").

Methodology: Uses ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) technology.

Often combined with ToxDetect Environmental Toxins to find the source of exposure.

2. Mycotoxin Mould Test - Mosaic Diagnostics/ previously Great Plains Labs

Scope: Tests for 11 different mycotoxins.

Highlights: Comprehensive profile designed to guide therapeutic strategy, often used for chronic fatigue, neuro-cognitive issues, and in conjunction with an OAT (Organic Acid Test)

Methodology: Uses liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Features high sensitivity for detecting low levels of fungal toxins, often used for monitoring detoxification progress.

No, although we recommend not starting testing on children under 2. If the patient is young or incontinent, then you may need to manually retrieve a sample via potty or bed pan.

This testing is not available under the NHS and sadly many chronically ill patients are left untreated when conventional medicine testing comes back clear. Mould can be present in your home without it being visible, so if you do test positive for mould we will recommend an expert to come and conduct detailed testing of your home.

There is still not enough research into mould illness, however what we do know is that some patients do not detoxify moulds well. This can be through poor detoxification pathways or genetic variants. You can investigate detoxification pathways with genetic testing HERE.
