Sample Required: Urine | Test Type: Toxicity
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides globally and is found in hundreds of agricultural, forestry, and household products. Its widespread application has led to increasing environmental exposure, particularly in regions where genetically modified glyphosate-resistant crops are cultivated.
This test offers a non-invasive way to assess your body's exposure to glyphosate — a chemical known to interfere with microbial balance and enzyme activity in environmental and animal studies. It also screens for polyoxyethyleneamine (POEA), a surfactant often combined with glyphosate, which has been shown to amplify its environmental toxicity.
The test is processed by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains Laboratory), a leading international laboratory known for its precision and evolving methodologies. Results typically include detailed analytical data and reference ranges to help you understand your exposure levels.
