How it works
This self-test measures the concentration of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood. An elevated TSH level is often an indication that the thyroid is underactive, also known as hypothyroidism. By using an accurate test cassette and a specific buffer solution, a biochemical reaction is triggered that provides a visual result. This supports you in monitoring your health as your trusted health partner.
