Free T3
The active thyroid hormone; the one TSH alone can miss.
Your TSH came back normal and you still feel slow, cold and foggy, or you're on thyroid medication and want to know whether it's converting. Free T3 is the hormone your cells actually use, and it's the piece most basic thyroid checks leave out. $105 is all-in. No draw fees, no physician fees, no surprise bills. Results usually in 1β2 business days, in your secure online account.
Included Tests
Who Should Get This Panel
- Anyone with thyroid symptoms and a normal TSH, anyone on levothyroxine or desiccated thyroid asking whether T4 is converting to T3, and anyone whose clinician asked for a full thyroid picture.

Understanding Your Results
Low free T3 with a normal TSH and free T4 can mean poor conversion, illness or very low calorie intake; high free T3 points toward an overactive thyroid. Read it with TSH and free T4; on its own it rarely settles anything. Review with a clinician.
