A 5-marker thyroid panel covering TSH, free T4, free T3 and two thyroid antibody tests, using a clinic or nurse-visit blood draw. Suits people with thyroid symptoms wanting antibody testing alongside the core hormones.
5 biomarkers as listed by Better2Know.
This panel checks thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4 and free T3 (the active thyroid hormones that affect metabolism), and two antibody tests, thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase, which can indicate an autoimmune thyroid condition. Symptoms it's aimed at include fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity and hair loss for an underactive thyroid, or anxiety, sleep problems and a fast heart rate for an overactive one.
Its five markers sit close to the comparison group's median of 5.5 across the 14 tests we track, and its scope matches cheaper peers such as Monitor My Health's Advanced Thyroid Test (£42), Randox's Thyroid Function Test (£60) and Medichecks' Thyroid Function with Antibodies (£65). At £195, though, it costs about 123% more than the £87.50 group median, and considerably more than any of those five-marker alternatives.
It scores well for clarity, with the sample type, collection options and turnaround clearly stated. It scores poorly on price given it offers a typical marker count at a well-above-typical price, and only moderately on results and follow-up, since a doctor does not review the results as standard.
This could suit you if you specifically want to test with Better2Know and don't mind paying more for a standard five-marker thyroid and antibody panel. If price matters, Monitor My Health's Advanced Thyroid Test covers four markers for £42, and Medichecks' Thyroid Function with Antibodies covers five markers, the same as this test, for £65, both considerably cheaper than this £195 version.
You provide a venous blood sample at a Better2Know clinic or during a nurse visit, sent to the laboratory for analysis. Results are available within two working days of the sample arriving, shown in your secure online patient area; a doctor does not review them as standard, though you can take your results to your own GP or Better2Know can arrange a private consultation.
This panel checks TSH, free T3, free T4 and both thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibodies, matching the five-marker count of tests from Monitor My Health, Randox, Medichecks and London Medical Laboratory, all priced between £42 and £79. At £195, this version costs roughly 123% more than the £87.50 group median. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Cheaper than other six-marker thyroid panels
This test checks six thyroid markers, including TSH, FT3, FT4 and two thyroid antibodies, giving a fuller picture than a basic TSH check. It suits anyone wanting autoimmune thyroid markers included.
The only panel here testing both major thyroid antibodies
A 6-marker thyroid panel measuring TSH, free T3, free T4, total T4 and two thyroid antibodies (TPO and thyroglobulin), for people investigating possible autoimmune thyroid disease.
Mid-priced 5-hormone thyroid panel with antibodies
Tests TSH, free thyroxine, free T3 and two thyroid antibodies, extending the basic thyroid panel to look for autoimmune involvement. Suited to investigating thyroid symptoms or monitoring a known autoimmune thyroid condition.
Cheapest advanced thyroid test with antibodies
Measures TSH, FT4, FT3 and TPO antibodies from an at-home finger-prick sample, for anyone with possible thyroid symptoms who wants antibody testing alongside the standard hormone panel.
Widest thyroid panel in its group, at the highest price
Checks thyroid hormones and antibodies alongside vitamin D, ferritin and active B12, for people with possible thyroid symptoms or an existing thyroid condition to monitor.
Mid-priced among the six-marker thyroid panels
This blood test measures thyroid hormones (TSH, free T4, free T3), thyroid antibodies and vitamin D. It suits anyone with possible thyroid symptoms who wants antibody testing included, not just hormones.
More markers than its peers, priced higher too
This panel measures TSH, free T3, free T4 and both thyroid antibodies, plus cortisol and magnesium at no extra cost. It suits people wanting a deeper thyroid check, including autoimmune antibodies, alongside monitoring an existing diagnosis.
At-home thyroid panel, £14 less than Randox's clinic test
An at-home blood test measuring TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and two thyroid antibodies, for people who want to check thyroid function without a clinic visit.
Broader thyroid panel priced 10% below the group median
A five-marker thyroid panel checking TSH, free T3, free T4 and two thyroid antibodies, going beyond a basic TSH and T4 check.
Joint-deepest thyroid panel here, but the priciest
Checks six thyroid markers, including TSH, T4, T3 and two thyroid antibodies, from an at-home finger-prick sample. Suited to people wanting a fuller picture than a basic TSH-only check.
1-day thyroid test, faster than Randox's home kit
A clinic-based blood test measuring TSH, Free T3, Free T4 and two thyroid antibodies, with results available within 24 hours.
Six-marker thyroid panel, priced above closest rivals
A 6-marker thyroid panel covering TSH, free T4, free T3, total T4 and two thyroid antibody tests, collected by a nurse. Suits people with thyroid symptoms wanting a fuller antibody check than a basic TSH test.
Priced above every named peer in its thyroid group
This blood test measures TSH, free T3, free T4 and reverse T3, giving a focused view of thyroid hormone status. It suits people already diagnosed with a thyroid condition who want ongoing monitoring rather than a first-time check.
