What Are Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by fungal organisms, commonly known as molds. Mycotoxins are well documented in high quality peer-reviewed scientific journals to have a wide array of toxic effects in humans.  RealTime Laboratories’ dedicated team of doctors and scientists have thoroughly researched these compounds and determined the most clinically significant mycotoxins and secondary metabolites for testing.

Building upon this research, RealTime Laboratories utilizes a semi-quantitative competitive ELISA platform to determine the presence of 16 clinically significant mycotoxins

About the Panel

RealTime Lab’s Total Mycotoxin Panel detects sixteen of the most toxigenic mycotoxins, including 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes that have been proven to be caused by Stachybotrys, otherwise known as “Black Mold.” Testing is done using competitive ELISA, a highly sensitive detection method that uses antibodies prepared against mycotoxins.

All mycotoxin testing results are displayed in an easy-to-understand, numeric format, showing detection levels in parts-per-billion (ppb) as standardized by the FDA, WHO, CDC and Food industry for clinical use. Results also tell if the toxins in the sample were present, not present, or equivocal, along with ranges of detection for each.

What We Test For

Ochratoxin is produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium fungal species. Ochratoxin A is nephrotoxic and carcinogenic, causing various cancers and kidney diseases with prolonged exposure. This toxin has been determined through research to be a contributing factor in Balkan Endemic Nephropathy.

Aflatoxins are produced by at least 20 different Aspergillus sp. These toxins generally come from food intake and environmental exposure to the aflatoxin producing organisms. These toxins are carcinogenic, causing cancer in the liver and kidneys. They are also mutagenic causing detrimental genetic alterations to DNA that lead to cancer and immunosuppression. B1, G1, and M1 are considered the most toxic among this group. Chronic exposure is called aflatoxicosis which manifests as hemorrhaging, acute liver damage, edema, digestion problems, and eventually death.

Macrocyclic Trichothecenes are produced by Myrothecium, Podostroma, Stachybotrys, Calcarisporium, Cercophora, Cylindrocarpon, Dendrodochium, Phomopsis, and Verticinimonosporium fungal species. These compounds are common contaminants of grains, building materials, and HVAC systems. Exposure can result in skin necrosis, gastrointestinal tract lesions, hypotension, inflammation, cardiovascular alterations, bone marrow damage, immunosuppression, corneal injury, reproductive harm, diarrhea, weight loss, central nervous system toxicity, hepatotoxicity, and genotoxicity.

Gliotoxin is produced by Aspergillus, Candida, Eurotium, Trichoderma, Neosartorya, Penicillium, and Acremonium fungal species. Gliotoxin exposure generally comes from environmental exposure and ingestion of contaminated food sources. Gliotoxin has immunosuppressive properties, causes damage to DNA, and aids in the pathogenicity of invasive fungal infections. A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger are some of the most prevalent producers of Gliotoxin and these invasive organisms can be found in the blood of immunocompromised patients.

Zearalenone is produced by Fusarium sp. It is a common food contaminant and production by fungi increases in warmer climates. Zearalenone acts as an estrogen mimic, causing disorders of the reproductive system in both sexes. Additionally, zearalenone is carcinogenic, immunotoxic, and hematotoxic.

Why a mycotoxin urine test?

We primarily test for mycotoxins through a patient’s urine since it is non-invasive and the most stable option. We do have an option to test mycotoxins using a tissue sample.

Definitely recommend you use RealTime…

Wish I knew about RealTime mycotoxin test earlier, because it is much precise in comparison to the other main US lab, that found me only about ochratoxins. Definitely recommend you to use RealTime, if you or your doctor needs to have mycotoxins test. Mold or mycotoxins are unknown topic for conventional medicine in Europe. Many thanks to RealTime helping to find my final battle against mycotoxins!

They did an amazing job.

I’m really glad I picked RealTime Labs. They did an amazing job. The turn around time was really fast and Selene Feyerabend did a great job in answering my questions. The results are also very useful to me. Thank you very much.

It would be hard for me to practice without RTL.

Real Time Labs does an excellent job for us – we can use them to drop ship to remote patients, give kits in office – and recently, when a patient did the kit wrong, they were very helpful and accommodating in helping us figure out what to do. It would be hard for me to practice without RTL. Much appreciated.

I get a better assessment… and reduce the false negatives.

Doing the mycotoxin test with the ERMI test has been incredibly helpful. Since both only show part of the picture (not all molds are tested for on the ERMI and not all mycotoxins are tested for in the mycotoxin panel) I get a better assessment of the building with both and reduce the false negatives.

I’m thrilled with this lab.

I’m thrilled with this lab. I paid the $50 for a consultation with Dr. Hooper after I received my results and found him to be very kind, relatable and of course knowledgeable. Another time I spoke with Paul about testing my house and he too was very helpful and knowledgeable. I’ve watched their videos on YouTube and found that as I learn more, I become less fearful of my results.

I finally have a diagnosis.

Thank you so much for your incredible mold test, I have been dealing with horrible health for 3 years and I finally have a diagnosis. Your results came fast also, only 8 days after mailing in my sample.
