    • The BetterWay TSH test is a fingertip blood test that measures your thyroid function.

    Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced by your pituitary gland. It tells your thyroid gland to make hormones to control your metabolism, weight, body temperature, and muscle strength. This test measures the amount of TSH in your blood to see if your thyroid is making the right amount of hormones.

    It can tell if you have hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone) or hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone).

    The American Thyroid Association1 recommends measuring thyroid function in all adults beginning at age 35 and every five years thereafter.

    Your doctor can help you decide what's right for you.

    This test is also known as: thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid function or thyrotropin.

    Understanding your results
    You will receive an email or text when your result report is ready - typically a day or two after your visit.
    TSH results are reported in mIU/L.
    Low
    This may suggest that your thyroid is overactive, which is called hyperthyroidism. You may experience symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and anxiety. It is important to discuss this result with your clinician.
    Normal
    Monitoring your TSH levels for changes over time can help in assessing thyroid health and managing thyroid replacement therapy.
    High
    This may suggest that your thyroid is underactive, which is called hypothyroidism. You may experience symptoms such as weight gain, depression, and fatigue. It is important to discuss this result with your clinician.
