Five markers covering how your thyroid is working and whether your immune system is involved, from one blood draw.
Thyroid function
TSH, Free T4, Free T3. The pituitary signal plus the two active thyroid hormones, showing how your thyroid is working.
Thyroid antibodies
Anti-TPO Antibodies, Anti-Thyroglobulin (Tg-Ab). Antibodies that point to autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's and Graves'.
Your results come with an ODx report
With this panel you also receive an ODx Functional Health Report, which reads your results against optimal ranges, not just disease ranges, so you can spot imbalances early and track them over time. Because this panel is over R1,500, it also includes a free one-on-one ODx specialist session to walk through your results.

What people say
Friendly and competent staff. Both at reception and the nurse. A much simpler process than going through doctors. Thank you ladies.
The staff at reception as well as the nurses are friendly and professional. I've also always received results timeously. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Highly highly highly recommend. The experience was painless and the practice was inviting and well kept. The report was extremely detailed and informative and I would have this as top of my list for preventive care.
Amazing experience, highly professional staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.
Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.
What this does not do
A thyroid panel is a snapshot. It informs a conversation with your doctor; it does not diagnose a condition on its own.
- Results are a screen, not a diagnosis; abnormal values need follow-up with a clinician.
- Some medicines, supplements (including biotin) and illness affect thyroid results; mention them when you discuss results.
- Antibodies can be present without active disease, and absent in some thyroid conditions.
- A normal panel does not rule out every thyroid problem; some need other tests or scans.
- If you feel very unwell, see a doctor rather than waiting for a routine panel.
