The BIOSAFE TSH test is a laboratory analysis that measures a chemical substance in the blood called thyroid stimulating hormone
(TSH). The test provides you with an accurate, convenient, and inexpensive way to discover you own TSH level. The amount of TSH present is directly related to both hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism
(underactive thyroid).
The specimen collection process is quick, easy and virtually painless. Using the special finger lancet, which is included in the BIOSAFE Blood Collection Kit, a couple of drops of blood are taken from a nick of a finger and deposited into a special collection device called a Blood Transport System (BTS). The BTS is then sent to BIOSAFE Laboratories for analysis. BIOSAFE tests your blood sample to see how much TSH is present and then mails the results back to you in an easy-to-read, understandable report.
Since the BIOSAFE TSH test produces a numerical result rather than a simple "yes" or "no" answer, both testing approval and professional review of test results is required by a licensed health care professional. BIOSAFE has developed a nationwide network of physicians, one of whom will review your prescription request for test approval and interpret its results.
You may request a prescription for a BIOSAFE TSH test by clicking on the button below. A test request will then be forwarded to a licensed physician for approval. If approved, your BIOSAFE Blood Collection Kit will be sent to you by first class mail.
Note: A TSH test should be considered only one part of your overall health maintenance program.
