Welcome to one of our Rightangled Test Explainers.

In this video we look in more depth at our Thyroid Advance blood test — the signs that might prompt you to check your thyroid, the markers measured, and the process from ordering through to reviewing your results online.

Thyroid function affects mood, energy levels and metabolism. An underactive or overactive thyroid is common, straightforward to test for, and treatable — which is why it is worth ruling out if you have persistent fatigue, unexplained weight change, or feel unusually cold or hot.

Browse our current range of home blood tests and DNA tests. All results are reviewed by our clinical team, which includes GPhC-registered independent prescribers, with medical oversight from our doctor, Dr Abdullah.
