Many molds produce mycotoxins, the most serious of which is usually taken to be ochratoxin A. This is produced by some types of aspergillus and penicillium and can be found in food as well as in individuals infected with viable mold. Even long after the mold has been eliminated, these carcinogenic toxins may remain in the body: in the blood, liver, kidneys, stomach, lymph nodes, etc. In an Indian study, the four herbs in this formula were taken for 17 weeks with significant benefit. It is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with mycotoxin binding clays such as Montmorillonite and bentonite.
