RealTime Mycotoxin Test

Price range: $375.00 through $499.00

When mold exposure is part of the clinical picture, symptoms alone are not a reliable progress metric. The RealTime Labs Total Mycotoxin Panel is a urine-based test that detects 16 clinically significant mycotoxins, including 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes (often associated with water-damaged buildings). A mycotoxin test is best used as a data point alongside CIRS bloodwork and exposure history to help track trends over time and flag possible ongoing exposure.

All tests from Empower Functional Health include a detailed analysis report that includes EFH explanations, dietary and supplement recommendations, and customized next steps based on your test results.

Preparation:

Before collecting, if taking methylene blue, do not submit the sample until urine returns to a normal color.

Collect urine into the conical cup (or a clean disposable cup).

Label the specimen tube with full name, date of birth, and date collected. The lab states the specimen will be rejected if the tube is blank.

Transfer urine into the RTL tube and fill only half-way, then seal the cap securely.

Ship immediately after collection, preferably within 48 hours. If you cannot ship immediately, freeze the specimen and note the frozen date on the requisition. RealTime Labs indicates validations allow the specimen to be received within 7 days of collection.

Prepaid return labels are for the continental U.S. per the lab instructions.

Description

The RealTime Labs Total Mycotoxin Panel is a non-invasive urine test that measures 16 mycotoxins, including 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes. The lab uses a semi-quantitative competitive ELISA method and reports results in a numeric format with interpretive flags (present, not present, equivocal).

Because mycotoxins accumulate in adipose tissue and may not circulate continuously in blood, urine testing provides an effective snapshot of ongoing or recent exposure. A urinary myotoxin test can also help verify detox progress and guide whether binders or other interventions are working.

For best results, combine with CIRS bloodwork and EFH’s Personalized Health Plan to get a full picture of inflammation, system burden, and detox capacity.

 

Why it matters

This panel can help add objective signal when you’re trying to answer practical questions:

  1. Is there evidence of mycotoxin burden that fits the broader story (symptoms, exposures, labs)?
  2. Are results trending as exposure is reduced and detox capacity is supported?

 

RealTime Labs positions urine as a primary specimen because it is non-invasive and stable for mycotoxin testing.

 

What this includes

  1. RealTime Labs urine collection kit (collection cup, transport tube, biohazard materials, requisition and shipping materials).
  2. Total Mycotoxin Panel testing (16 mycotoxins; includes 9 macrocyclic trichothecenes).
  3. Turnaround time: 7–10 business days (lab-reported).
  4. EFH written analysis including summary of findings, personalized detox and drainage protocol, supplement and dietary recommendations, and guidance on next steps, including retesting or CIRS support options

 

How it works

  1. Order the test through EFH.
  2. Collect the urine specimen per kit instructions.
  3. Ship the sample. Follow the included shipping instructions carefully.
  4. You’ll receive a personalized analysis and actionable next steps via email.
  5. For in-depth case management or interpretation, a separate 1-on-1 session is recommended.

Important notes

  1. This is a laboratory-developed test (LDT) performed in a CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited lab, as described by RealTime Labs.
  2. This test is not a home clearance test. Use it with clinical context and, when relevant, environmental assessment.
  3. This test is not a stand-alone diagnostic for mold illness. For full clinical insight, pair with CIRS labs.
  4. Retest option only available for those who have run a RealTime mycotoxin test with EFH.
