  • TIR-001

    Antithyroglobulin Antibodies

    Thyroid · Thyroid1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures antibodies against thyroglobulin, a protein made by the thyroid. These antibodies point to an autoimmune response against the thyroid, as in Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease.

    Antithyroglobulin Antibodies

    Free T3 (triiodothyronine)

    Thyroid · Thyroid1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures free triiodothyronine (T3), a thyroid hormone that helps regulate metabolism and energy production. It helps assess an overactive or underactive thyroid and thyroid inflammation.

    Free T3 (triiodothyronine)

  • TIR-003

    Free T4 (thyroxine)

    Thyroid · Thyroid1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures unbound thyroxine (T4), a hormone made by the thyroid. High levels may suggest an overactive thyroid and low levels an underactive one, which can bring tiredness, weight gain and low mood.

    Free T4 (thyroxine)

  • TIR-008

    Thyroid Full Profile

    Thyroid · Thyroid5 markersBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Checks thyroid function in full: TSH, free T4, free T3 and two thyroid antibodies. It covers thyroid regulation, hormone production and conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

  • TIR-009

    Thyroid Monitoring

    Thyroid · Thyroid2 markersBlood: home finger-prick or veinResult in about 1 working day

    Home kit · Collection point

    Checks how your thyroid is working with TSH and free T4. It mainly shows whether the thyroid is underactive or overactive, which can lead to tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.

  • VIT-001

    Anaemia Profile

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Iron17 markersBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Looks at red blood cells and their ability to carry oxygen, with a full blood count, iron studies, vitamin B12 and folate. It is commonly ordered when someone has tiredness, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath or dizziness.

  • VIT-002

    Ferritin

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Iron1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures ferritin, the protein that stores iron in the body. It helps assess low or high iron stores. In women, low ferritin may relate to periods or pregnancy, and in men, high ferritin may relate to iron overload or liver conditions.

    Ferritin

    Iron

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Iron1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Iron

  • VIT-005

    Iron Overload Profile

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Iron5 markersBlood (vein)Result in about 4 working days

    Collection point

    Measures iron and related markers in the blood, including the HFE gene. It can help look into haemochromatosis, a genetic condition in which the body absorbs too much iron.

  • VIT-006

    Chromium (Blood)

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Minerals1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Checks the level of chromium in the blood. Chromium is an essential mineral involved in glucose metabolism and insulin function. Raised levels may point to excessive exposure.

    Chromium (Blood)

  • VIT-008

    Chromium (Urine)

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Minerals1 markerUrineResult in about 4 working days

    Collection point

    Measures chromium in the urine. Chromium is an essential mineral involved in glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Raised urine levels may reflect excessive exposure, for example at work or in the environment.

    URCR

  • VIT-009

    Copper (Serum)

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Minerals1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 1 working day

    Collection point

    Measures copper in the blood. It is used to monitor conditions linked to copper metabolism and copper overload, such as Wilson's disease. Levels can also be influenced by liver disease, malnutrition, some medicines and copper supplements.

  • VIT-010

    Iodine - Serum

    Vitamins, minerals and iron · Minerals1 markerBlood (vein)Result in about 5 working days
