Why test
Thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), can have significant impacts on your health and wellbeing.
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones and can cause fatigue, hair loss, muscle weakness, weight gain and sensitivity to the cold. This condition is more common in adults over 50 and affects more women than men. If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to complications including heart disease, pregnancy complications or a swelling in the throat.
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too many hormones and can cause anxiety, weight loss, hyperactivity, tremor, heat sensitivity or a swelling in the throat. If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to eye problems, pregnancy complications, or a thyroid storm.
This test will analyse two key hormones to give you an indication of your thyroid health, and you'll receive GP recommendations on the steps you can take based on your results.
What's analysed in our thyroid test
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)
Thyroxine (Free T4)
What our customers say
This kit was really easy to use and included everything I needed to do the test and send it off in the post. Plenty of clear instructions to do the finger prick test and tips how to increase the blood flow. I found holding my hand down low really increased the flow. I received the results and the doctors report back really quickly, as well as clear email updates when they received it at the lab and were processing the test. A great service and would highly recommend.
I thought this product was great. Hypothyroidism runs in my family but getting a GP appointment is quite hard at the moment so this test was ideal. My thyroid test came back perfectly normal so I feel really reassured and didn’t have to bother my GP.

These samples are then returned to a laboratory and analysed against a variety of biomarkers. This kit alone is not suitable for screening or diagnosis, and it is not a substitute for a consultation with a healthcare professional.
