Thyroid Hormone Tests

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates the performance of the thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in metabolism, energy, and mood.

Free Triiodothyronine (FT3): Measures the levels of FT3, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that is involved in energy management and metabolism.

Free Thyroxine (FT4): Assesses the levels of FT4, another hormone produced by the thyroid gland essential for metabolic rate and energy.

Regular Health Check: Beneficial for annual or bi-annual general health monitoring, especially if thyroid function is a concern.

Experiencing Symptoms: If you face symptoms such as fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, temperature sensitivity, or mood swings, which may indicate thyroid imbalances.

Doctor's Recommendation: If a healthcare professional suggests checking your thyroid hormone levels for diagnosis, treatment monitoring, or other medical reasons.

Special Instructions: If you take supplements containing Biotin (Vitamin B7, Vitamin B8, vitamin H, or coenzyme R), wait at least 72 hours after your last dose before collecting your sample to avoid interference with the results.
