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.
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.
Key Biomarkers
Key Biomarker
ESR
The rate of sedimentation of red blood cells in anti-coagulated blood in one hour. Levels may indicate tissue destruction, inflammation, and may indicate in certain cases presence of pathogens.
See full descriptionKey Biomarker
Free t3
The portion of triiodothyronine (T3) that is not bound and represents approximately 10% of circulating T3 in the blood. T3 is converted from T4 and the majority occurs in the liver and kidneys. The conversion process is dependent on Selenium and bile levels. Levels can be used to assess Hypo and hyper thyroid status, T4 to T4 conversion efficacy, Selenium sufficiency, and Iodine sufficiency.
See full descriptionKey Biomarker
Free t4
Less than 0.05% of Total Thyroxine (T4) is free or unbound. The hormone is made in the thyroid gland and is the precursor to T3. Production of T4 is dependent on levels of iodine, co factors like B6, Biopterin, Copper, Zinc, Vitamins B2, B3 and A. Considered by mainstream when combined with TSH to be the gold standard for assessing thyroid function., Levels are assessed to identify thyroid status (hypo and hyper), Iodine sufficiency as well as protein status and liver function.
See full descriptionKey Biomarker
Reverse T3
Considered to be the metabolic brake to counteract the effects of the metabolic accelerator that is T3. Levels are used to identify possible diabetes, effects of fasting, heavy metals, inflammatory, pathogen effects, inflammatory cytokines like IL6 and TN-Alpha, also an indicator of stress.
See full descriptionKey Biomarker

Total T4 represents over 99.5% of the total thyroid hormone available. Levels can help determine, thyroid status (hypo or hyper), Iodine sufficiency,
See full descriptionKey Biomarker
TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is secreted from the anterior pituitary gland and levels are based on a negative feedback loop to signal to the thyroid gland whether to release more Thyroxine or stop releasing. Conventionally along with free T4 the combination is considered the gold standard for assessing thyroid status. Levels are also affected by heavy metal burdens including Aluminium.
See full descriptionKey Biomarker
TSH receptor abs
Also known as TRAbs. Measure the number of antibodies produced antagonistically against the thyroid stimulating receptor. These receptors signal the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones and autoimmune conditions cause the receptors to malfunction. Levels are used to determine Graves' disease (hyperthyroid 90%) and also can be indicated in Hashimoto's (hypothyroid 10%).

FDX 78: Dihydrotestosterone
£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.

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).
