This test includes the following biomarkers:
• Thyroid function test - Thyroid hormones help to regulate important body processes such as metabolism and brain development. Under or over-active thyroid problems can present with both physical, mental and metabolic disorders. This blood test can help diagnose thyroid problems, as well as monitor and guide treatment in established cases.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - A TSH test is done to find out if your thyroid gland is working the way it should. It can tell you if it’s overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism).
Triiodothyronine (T3, free) - T3 is one of two major hormones made by your thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located near the throat. The other hormone is called thyroxine (T4) T3 and T4 work together to regulate how your body uses energy.

Thyroid tests are used to tell if your thyroid gland is functioning properly by measuring the amount of thyroid hormones in your blood. Thyroid hormone plays a major role in regulating metabolism—the process by which body cells convert nutrients into energy—and helps regulate body temperature, heart rate and even brain function. So when thyroid hormone levels fall, the body slows.
Anyone who has the symptoms of an over- or under-active thyroid
