If you are happy to do a fingerprick test and just want TSH, FT4 and FT3 then Monitor My Health is cheapest.

If you want thyroid panel to include antibodies and/or vitamins then check out Monitor My Health (fingerprick only, Advanced Thyroid Test or Full Health Screen) or Medichecks who offer fingerprick or for extra cost you can arrange venous blood draw.

The above links include discount codes.

This one from Randoxhealth is the cheapest as it does the three normal ones plus the two antibodies.

Some of us aren't impressed by that lab.

Really - why?

Member experience which has been shared with us:

Delayed despatch of test kit which had to be chased after a week.

No response to their online chat.

Email sent as online chat ineffective, promised investigation, no follow up so another email sent to chase again.

They refer to the whole of the reference range as being "optimal".

shame, I want both antibodies at a reasonable price too. So annoying so many stopping the TgAb

If you need BOTH antibodies tested be aware Monitor my health only test TPO antibodies

Recommend testing vitamin levels at least annually

Test early morning and last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Day before test split T3 into 3 smaller doses spread through the day, with last dose Approx 8-12 hours before test

Remember to stop any supplements that contain biotin 5-7 days before test
