The Mosaic Diagnostics EnviroTOX Complete+ Metals is a combined profile that screens for environmental toxicant exposure across four distinct assays in a single collection. It’s designed to answer two connected questions at once: what has your body been exposed to, and how well is it processing and clearing what it encounters — your biotransformation capacity.
The panel is collected primarily through urine, at home, and shipped back with the kit. Results return in roughly two to three weeks. We frame the findings as an exposure-and-processing picture, not a diagnosis — the point is to see what’s present and how your system is handling it.
EnviroTOX Complete+ Metals bundles four separate assays, each looking at a different class of exposure:
Screens for common environmental chemical exposures, including glyphosate (the most widely used herbicide in the world) along with markers of other industrial and consumer chemical compounds. These are the everyday-exposure toxicants that accumulate quietly and are almost never measured in conventional care.
An organic acids panel read here for the exposure-and-processing angle: microbial and fungal metabolites, oxidative stress markers, and byproducts that reflect how much metabolic and detoxification demand your system is carrying. In this profile the OAT complements the toxicant data rather than serving as a nutritional readout.
Measures mycotoxins, the toxic compounds produced by mold, that can accumulate after exposure to water-damaged buildings. Mold and mycotoxin illness is one of the more under-recognized contributors to unexplained cognitive and mood symptoms.
Measures heavy metals and toxic elements — including lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and related elements — reflecting recent exposure and your body's excretion of them.

The nervous system is a frequent target of environmental toxicants, and the evidence spans all three categories this panel covers. Heavy metals are a clear example: in a nationally representative sample, higher blood cadmium was associated with meaningfully higher odds of depressive symptoms, independent of smoking [1]. Everyday chemical exposures are implicated too — a systematic review of glyphosate found consistent evidence of neurotoxic effects across species, including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial disruption, at doses below regulatory limits [2]. And mold-derived mycotoxins carry biological plausibility for brain effects: preclinical work shows ochratoxin A, a common mycotoxin, is neurotoxic to brain tissue and can impair the hippocampal cells involved in memory [3].
The honest framing matters here. This is an emerging and sometimes contested area, and we hold it with appropriate humility — an exposure marker is a clue to investigate, not proof that a given toxicant is the sole cause of how you feel. What the data does is open a line of inquiry that conventional workups close before it starts. When the exposure picture lines up with the timeline of your symptoms and corroborating findings elsewhere, it becomes a meaningful part of the story.
Your results shape a careful, measured plan built around two levers: reducing ongoing exposure and supporting your body’s own biotransformation and clearance systems. If TOXDetect or MycoTOX flags significant exposure, the first move is often identifying and removing the source — because no clearance strategy works while exposure continues. From there we support the phase I and phase II detoxification pathways your body already uses, guided by what your organic acids and, where available, your genetic detoxification variants show about how efficiently you process these compounds. Toxic metals findings inform whether and how gently to support excretion.
We are deliberately conservative about this work. We don’t promise clearance timelines, we don’t sell aggressive “detox” protocols, and we don’t treat a single elevated marker as a mandate for intense intervention. The nervous system does its own repair when the burden comes down and the right inputs are present; our role is to remove obstacles, not to force a fix.
Environmental toxicant screening is one of seven tests in our standard mental health bundle. It works alongside comprehensive blood biomarkers, gut microbiome assessment, advanced nutrient analysis, DUTCH hormone testing, food sensitivity testing, and genetic analysis to give the complete biological picture.
If you've had environmental testing before, send us the results and we'll integrate them into your clinical picture. The EnviroTOX Complete+ Metals stays part of our standard bundle because it screens exposure and processing capacity together, across four assays, in one collection.
This profile is high-yield for many people in the program, and especially for:
A note on the limits of toxicant testing. Urinary markers reflect recent exposure and your current excretion capacity — they are a window onto what your body is moving out right now, not a direct measurement of total body burden stored in tissue. Interpretation is further complicated by collection method: whether to test after a “provoking” agent that mobilizes stored toxicants, or without provocation, is genuinely contested in the field, and each approach has trade-offs. We interpret these results cautiously, in the context of your history and your other testing, and we’re transparent about what the numbers can and can’t establish. Full structure:
