A rapid finger-prick test measuring TSH, the main hormone used to flag an underactive thyroid, with a result in minutes. Suits anyone with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain or feeling the cold who wants a quick first check.
1 biomarker as listed by MyHealthChecked.
This test measures thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), the main hormone used to flag an underactive thyroid, using a rapid finger-prick blood sample. An underactive thyroid can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, dry skin and sensitivity to the cold, and the test gives a result in around 10 minutes rather than a sample sent to a lab.
The one other single-marker TSH test we track, Blue Horizon Medicals' TSH test, costs £45.25; against a broader median of £51.63 for similarly sized thyroid tests, this £10 test is 81% cheaper. Its single marker places it in the lower range for depth among thyroid tests generally, many of which test TSH alongside free T4 or free T3.
The value for money score is at the maximum given how far below comparable tests this sits. Clinical depth scores low, reflecting the single marker, and results and follow-up scores low because the result is not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
This suits anyone with possible underactive thyroid symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain or feeling the cold, who wants a fast, low-cost first check. If you want free T4 tested alongside TSH with a GP review, MyHealthChecked's own Thyroid Profile Blood Test costs £45 and covers both markers with doctor-reviewed results.
You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and apply it to the rapid test, which shows a result within around 10 minutes with no sample posted to a lab. The provider states you would need a secondary test to confirm your specific TSH level, and doctor-led recommendations are available separately rather than included as standard.
At £10, this rapid finger-prick test checks TSH levels and flags whether they sit above the normal range, with a result in around 10 minutes. It costs 81% less than the £51.63 median for similarly sized thyroid tests we track, and is well below Blue Horizon Medicals' equivalent single-marker TSH test at £45.25, though it is not reviewed by a doctor.

Flexible at-home TSH test, pricier than MyHealthChecked's
Checks thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) alone, commonly used to see whether thyroid hormone levels, or a thyroxine replacement dose, are in the expected range. Suits routine monitoring rather than a first, broader thyroid check.
Thyroid Self Test is used for the easy and convenient at-home-testing of Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), a marker for an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
