Best practice for this test
Prepare for a result that can be interpreted properly.
Fasting is not normally required, but medication and supplement timing should be consistent.
If you take levothyroxine, use a consistent collection time in relation to your dose and follow any instruction from the clinician managing it.
Tell us if you take biotin, particularly high-dose hair, skin or nail supplements, because it can interfere with thyroid results.
Avoid routine thyroid testing during an acute illness where possible.
Your safety comes first. Any later collection instructions sent by Beaches or Inuvi take priority. Do not stop prescribed medication or fast if it could be unsafe. Contact us first if you have diabetes, are pregnant, are prone to fainting or are unsure about medication.

About this profile
What it is designed to explore.
This profile gives a broader view of thyroid function than TSH alone. It measures circulating thyroid hormones alongside thyroid antibodies, which may add useful context when investigating symptoms or monitoring a known thyroid condition with an appropriate clinician.

A responsible service
Testing supports care. It does not replace it.
If you feel acutely unwell or have symptoms that need urgent assessment, seek appropriate medical care rather than waiting for a private blood test.
A result outside the reference range does not always mean illness, and a result inside it does not rule every problem out. Interpretation depends on symptoms, history and context.
