Thyroid IQ®
An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease.
Researchers estimate that 13 million Americans are living with an undiagnosed thyroid condition because people often dismiss the symptoms or mistake them for something else.
TSH | t3 | T4
Test for Hypothyroidism
Thyroid IQ® tests TSH, T3, and T4 for a complete picture of thyroid health using advanced microfluidics in the BioSpy Reference Laboratory. We never outsource our testing to third party laboratories.

What's Measured in Thyroid IQ®
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland of the brain. The release of TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones regulate the body’s metabolism.
Free Thyroxine (FT4)
Free thyroxine (FT4) is the biologically active form of thyroxine, a hormone produced in the thyroid gland to regulate your metabolism. FT4 is not bound to proteins and is available for use by the tissues of the body. Raised FT4 levels can indicate an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), low FT4 levels can indicate an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Free Triiodothyronine (FT3)
Free triiodothyronine (FT3) is one of two major hormones produced by the thyroid gland. FT3 is more biologically active than thyroxine (T4) and is required to regulate metabolism. FT3 is produced directly by the thyroid gland, and through the conversion of T4 to T3 in other cells of the body.
