Thyroid problems are very common, particularly in women. The thyroid gland produces hormones which govern metabolism; too much and the metabolism speeds up, too little and it slows down leaving people feeling exhausted and sluggish. This comprehensive thyroid test includes thyroid hormones thyroxine (FT4) and triiodothyronine (FT3), as well as thyroid antibodies, to give you an in-depth picture of your thyroid function.

Please take your sample in the morning. If you are taking a T3 containing medication take your test in the hour prior to your dose of medication. Do not take biotin supplements for 2 days prior to this test. If you are taking prescribed biotin you should discuss this with your doctor.
