Thyroid Check +
Total Thyroid markers
FDX 24
Our Thyroid Check Plus is the next level up from our Thyroid Check (FDX23) test. It includes all of the markers in the Thyroid Check. In order to reveal possible further thyroid imbalances, we have added additional biomarkers that include receptor antibody markers which can help to identify autoimmune responses.
Once Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism is suspected, our objective as clinicians, is to avoid further thyroid degeneration such as Autoimmune Graves’ and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, some of the most frequent autoimmune disorders.
Our Thyroid Check Plus panel also tests for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This is one of the most considered viral infections linked in autoimmune Thyroiditis, as well as thyroglobulin and TSH receptor antibodies.
Our FDX Thyroid Check panel has been created to look further than the norm (traditional blood analysis) to reveal more about your client’s health picture and to identify areas to focus an effective treatment plan. FunctionalDX uses the world’s most advanced blood interpretation technology considers 13 body systems, 7 accessory systems, 7 macronutrient systems, 14 micro-nutrient deficiencies and 40+ clinical dysfunctions.

Suitable for:
- Are already diagnosed but need further analysis
- Have a suspected diagnosis of Hypothyroidism (underactive) or Hyperthyroidism (overactive) thyroid disfunction
- Show clinical signs of autoimmune disorders such as tiredness, fatigue, hair loss, weight gain or weight loss, dry skin and hair loss and poor hair quality.

Free t3
Key Biomarker

£85.00
FDX 78: Dihydrotestosterone
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a male sex hormone (androgen). Androgens are endogenous steroid hormones consisting of DHEA, Androstenedione, Testosterone and DHT. DHT is the most potent hormone amongst the androgens because it is not converted to estrogen, it is considered to be a pure androgen. It is created from testosterone via the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and is produced in the prostate gland, adrenal glands, liver, brain, and hair follicles. Its action is related to the tissue in which it is produced. It is a more potent hormone than testosterone (approx. 1% circulated feely as unbound), it has a slow dissociation (approx. 5x less than testosterone) and long half-life (2x affinity to the androgen receptors). During development and adult life in men, it promotes prostate growth, activity of the sebaceous glands, male pattern baldness and the development of characteristics that are typically associated with men (body hair, muscle growth, and a deep voice). In women DHT levels are associated with issues including hirsutism, amenorrhea, and increased acne.

As the most abundant circulating steroid in the body, it has an influence on over 150 known repair functions in both the body and brain.

Men and non-pregnant women generally have low levels of prolactin. In women, prolactin tests help diagnose the causes of absent or irregular menstruation, spontaneous or abnormal breast milk flow or other unexplained discharges. In men, they can help diagnose erectile dysfunction or loss of sex drive (libido).
