Thyroid hormone imbalance affects 1-in-20 Americans. Any imbalance can cause fatigue, low energy, weight gain, anxiety, and lack of sleep.
This Comprehensive At-Home Thyroid Test takes a few drops of blood with finger prick to assess the risk of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. It measures TSH, free-T3, free-T4, and TPO antibodies. It also includes reverse T3, to thoroughly assess your thyroid health.

The thyroid gland in our throat releases two key hormones: fT3 and fT4 (also called free tri-iodo-thyronine and thyroxine). A healthy gland with balanced fT3 and fT4 levels are critical for normal metabolism, cardiovascular health, and proper development. The thyroid gland also maintains our body temperature, psychological well-being, appetite, energy levels, and sex drive.
Using a thyroid blood test at home to test your fT3 and fT4 levels is crucial to receiving proper treatment for thyroid problems and getting your life back on track.
An underactive thyroid gland (a condition called hypothyroidism) slows down metabolism in the absence of thyroid hormones. This can result in weight gain, loss of appetite, fatigue, and symptoms of premature aging. The slow metabolism interferes with body's temperature regulation and increases sensitivity to cold.
Symptoms of hypo-thyroid-ism include dry skin from thinning of veins, constipation, and abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding. In severe cases, the thyroid hormone deficiency causes enlargement of the gland in throat (called goiter), a common sign of iodine deficiency in developing countries.
However, a hyperactive thyroid gland (a condition called hyper-thyroid-ism) speeds up the metabolism resulting in an increased appetite and unexpected weight loss.
An overworking gland releases excess thyroid hormones which causes anxiety, nervousness, and difficulty in sleeping. This results in high sensitivity to heat and in rare cases, chest pains and palpitations.
The symptoms of elevated thyroid hormone levels are almost entirely opposite to low levels, except both cases cause fatigue due to slow or overworking metabolism.

Many tests from these labs are FDA approved to ensure they meet the proper regulatory requirements. Additionally, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) requires inter-laboratory tests to ensure the ranges established by each lab do not drift or are not out of acceptable ranges. This is done by regularly testing reference samples between different labs. Finally, the labs regularly carry out thousands of thyroid hormone tests for different age groups and health conditions, and have well established reference data to compare your results against this large pool.
