About this test

Six thyroid-related markers are covered here: thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3), total thyroxine (T4), and two thyroid antibodies, TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies. TSH, FT4 and FT3 are commonly used to assess how the thyroid gland is functioning, while the antibody markers can indicate autoimmune activity affecting the thyroid. These results are typically interpreted alongside symptoms by a GP or endocrinologist rather than used alone.

Against its 14-test comparison group, this panel ties for the most markers tested, at six, alongside Thriva, Selph and Numan. It costs more than any of them, though: £99 against Thriva's £80.10, Selph's £87 and Numan's £88, and 13% above the group's £87.50 median price. Cheaper peers such as Monitor My Health (£42, four markers) and Randox Health (from £46, five markers) test fewer antibodies.

The scores reflect this above-average depth. Clinical depth scores highly, with six markers against a 5.5 median across the group. clarity and documentation also score well, as the listing sets out a detailed description, the full biomarker list, sample type, collection method and turnaround. Collection convenience scores well too, since the sample is taken at home with results back within the week. value for money is middling, reflecting the moderate premium over the group median rather than a sharp overcharge. Trust signals and results and follow-up both score well on LetsGetChecked's Trustpilot rating, lab accreditation and standard doctor review.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you want a fuller thyroid panel that includes both antibody markers, rather than a basic TSH-only check, and are willing to pay a modest premium for it. It's a reasonable choice if you want more markers than most budget options provide.

If price matters more than the small gap in depth, Thriva's Advanced thyroid function test covers the same six markers for £80.10, and Selph and Numan offer six markers for £87 and £88 respectively.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home using the kit provided and send it to the lab. LetsGetChecked states results are reviewed by a doctor, with a turnaround of 2 to 5 days. The fact sheet does not specify further detail on lab processing beyond this doctor review step.

  • Sample is collected with an at-home finger-prick kit.
  • Listing gives a detailed description of what each marker measures.

Cons

  • At £99, this costs more than any other test in its comparison group.

  • 13% above the £87.50 median price for this comparison group.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Joint-deepest thyroid panel here, but the priciest
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Six thyroid markers are covered here, including TSH, T3, T4 and two types of thyroid antibody, from an at-home finger-prick sample reviewed by a doctor within 2 to 5 days. At £99 this costs 13% more than the £87.50 median across its 14-test comparison group, but it also ties for the most markers tested, alongside Thriva, Selph and Numan. The trade-off is a modest price premium for above-average depth.
