Fatigue that won't budge, weight changes without clear reason, mood swings, or sensitivity to cold—these are common complaints in the UK, especially as we lead busy lives. But when these symptoms persist, could your thyroid be to blame?
Your thyroid is a small gland in your neck, playing a big role in regulating your metabolism through hormones—primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). 'Free T4' refers to the unbound, active form of thyroxine that your body can use immediately.
Subtle but persistent symptoms may point towards a thyroid imbalance. Testing your Free T4 at home could offer clarity and peace of mind.
Many UK adults experience stress, poor sleep, or dietary deficiencies that can mimic thyroid symptoms. However, if these persist despite lifestyle changes, it's worth testing your thyroid health.
With the Mayfield Clinic Home Free T4 Blood Test Kit, you can easily test at home using a TDL tiny blood collection tube. Results come back as soon as the next working day, offering quick answers.

Free T4 is an important thyroid hormone. Low levels can cause symptoms like tiredness, weight gain, and feeling cold. High levels might cause anxiety, sweating, and unexplained weight loss. Testing Free T4 can help identify if your thyroid is under- or overactive.
Typical symptoms of thyroid problems include fatigue, sensitivity to cold or heat, weight changes, and mood swings. If you experience these, a Free T4 test can help guide a diagnosis.
Your results will be sent to you securely within 1 working day after the lab receives your sample, and further guidance will be provided.
