Our most comprehensive thyroid profile yet. The Thyroid Premium Platinum profile looks in detail at your thyroid gland via the classically tested components of thyroid function found in the Thyroid Premium Gold profile, essential for both diagnosis of thyroid disorders and for monitoring of any treatment regimes. Test inclusions - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), T, Free Triiodothyronine (FT3), Total Thyroxine (T4) and Free Thyroxine (TF4), Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO antibodies) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TG antibodies) – but with the added excitement too of Reverse T3, beloved by Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Practitioners. Moreover, for your general health investigation, levels of Vitamin D, Total and Active Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, TIBC, Transferrin Saturation, Iron, CRP and the gold standard test for diabetes – HbA1c – are also included. The Blue Horizon laboratory team have gone a little bit further than our rivals - for no extra charge Serum Cortisol and Serum Magnesium are now also included in this profile (and the whole thyroid Premium range). It is widely reported that high cortisol levels can affect thyroid function, and vice versa. Magnesium has a particularly important role in the conversion of FT4 to FT3. For a full appreciation of your overall health and thyroid status it is probably impossible to surpass the Thyroid Premium Platinum profile.
