About this test

This test measures TSH, free T4 and free T3, the three hormones the provider describes as nationally recommended for assessing thyroid function, covering both underactive (hypothyroidism) and overactive (hyperthyroidism) patterns.

Within our nine-test thyroid function comparison group, this is the cheapest option at £32, against a group median of £54.90. It matches the three-marker depth of pricier peers including Medichecks (£45), Selph (£55) and Better2Know's Full Thyroid Profile Home Test Kit (£199), while cheaper two-marker peers such as YorkTest (£41) and MyHealthChecked (£45) leave out one of the three hormones.

Scores here are strong across value for money and clinical depth, since three markers matches the top end of this comparison group, alongside the trust and process factors common to Monitor My Health's range.

Who is it for?

This suits anyone with possible thyroid symptoms, or anyone wanting the full three-hormone panel rather than a cut-down two-marker version, at the lowest price in our comparison group. If you also want TPO antibody testing, Monitor My Health's own Advanced Thyroid Test (£42) adds that for £10 more.

How it works

You take a finger-prick blood sample at home, ideally in the morning, and post it Monday to Thursday. The lab runs all three hormones on a Roche Cobas e801 analyser, with results typically available within 1 to 2 days and reviewed by a doctor, including guidance on when to see your GP.

Pros & cons

  • Cheapest of the nine tests in our thyroid function comparison group.
  • Tests all three nationally recommended thyroid hormones, not a cut-down two-marker version.
  • Results reviewed by a doctor as standard.

Cons

  • Does not include TPO antibodies; the provider's own Advanced Thyroid Test adds that for £10 more.

  • Monitor My Health does not state what the results report looks like before you buy.
