Thyroid test basic + iron status Thyroid (TSH) & iron status (ferritin, transferrin): check together, better interpret TSH is a key indicator for assessing thyroid function. Ferritin and transferrin levels also help to better understand your iron status (storage and transport). Iron status can play an important role in normal thyroid metabolism. With this 3-in-1 test, you can easily determine your values from home – with subsequent evaluation in the partner laboratory. Reliable analysis by our laboratory, completely without a doctors visit. Genuine laboratory test with liquid blood - just like in the doctors office (no dried blood card). Precise, digitally retrievable result Clear, easy-to-understand instructions Thyroid test basic + iron status Our 3-in-1 test helps you better understand your thyroid function and iron status: TSH, ferritin , and transferrin are three important blood values – especially if you feel tired, exhausted, or less energetic. Iron levels are determined via the ferritin value, as this reflects the bodys iron stores and is more informative than a simple iron measurement. For each self-test, one sample can be sent to our partner laboratory, the CBT in Bonn , for analysis. There it will be examined.

Basic thyroid check: 3 values at a glance TSH: First indicator of thyroid function TSH is an important initial indicator for assessing thyroid function. The value can be elevated or reduced, and both can manifest in very different ways, for example as fatigue, lack of energy, or decreased performance. Iron (ferritin): The thyroid gland needs good iron stores. Ferritin indicates how well your iron stores are replenished. A low ferritin level can affect energy and performance and also plays a role in normal thyroid metabolism. Thats why we deliberately include ferritin in this basic test. Transferrin: Better assess iron status Transferrin is the transport protein for iron. Together with ferritin, it helps to assess iron status more precisely. Transferrin helps to determine how well iron transport and availability can be evaluated. How does the Basic thyroid test work? Sampling Our Basic Thyroid Test includes illustrated instructions and all the necessary materials for taking a small blood sample from your fingertip. This involves a quick, simple prick using one of the enclosed lancets. Return and analysis Please return your sample to us in the enclosed return envelope (returns are free of charge within Germany; customers from Austria must pay for postage themselves). Your sample will then be analyzed in our partner laboratory CBT . Result We will inform you by email as soon as your test result is available. You can find your results in your protected area in the MetaLytic patient portal . TSH Why measure TSH? TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is a key marker for thyroid function. It is produced in the pituitary gland in the brain and signals the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (including fT4 and fT3). Why can TSH levels vary? TSH is regulated by a feedback loop between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland. If this loop becomes unbalanced, it can be reflected in the TSH level.Low TSH level : Can indicate an overactive thyroid or be caused by certain medications.Elevated TSH level : Can indicate hypothyroidism. Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., iodine, iron, selenium, protein) can also play a role. TSH is a useful initial indicator. Depending on the result, further thyroid values may be useful as a supplement. Why measure ferritin? – instead of just iron Iron levels in the blood can fluctuate significantly depending on the time of day and diet, often providing only a snapshot in time. Ferritin levels, on the other hand, indicate how well the bodys iron stores are actually replenished – and can thus help to detect an emerging or existing iron deficiency early on. Why measure iron levels – especially for women & thyroid Women are particularly prone to iron deficiency. Conventional medicine often fails to mention that this can also disrupt thyroid metabolism. A low iron level not only impairs energy levels but also hormonal balance. Symptoms of iron deficiency Iron deficiency can manifest as fatigue, exhaustion, and difficulty concentrating, as well as muscle weakness, pale skin, sensitivity to cold, hair loss, and brittle nails. Psychological symptoms such as irritability, depressive moods, or sleep problems can also occur. Iron (ferritin) Transferrin Why measure transferrin? Transferrin is a protein in the blood that transports iron – that is, it carries it to where the body needs it (e.g., for blood formation and metabolism). Together with ferritin, transferrin helps to assess iron status more precisely: ferritin indicates iron stores, while transferrin indicates iron transport and availability. Why ferritin and transferrin together are beneficial Ferritin alone indicates iron stores – but can be more difficult to interpret in certain situations (e.g., during inflammatory activity). Transferrin additionally helps to assess iron transport. General Questions & Answers How safe and accurate are the home tests?
