TSH Test: Pre-Test Guidelines

No Specific Preparations:
- General Instructions: No fasting or special dietary restrictions are required for the TSH blood test. You may eat and drink as you normally would.
-
Avoid Biotin or Vitamin B7:
- 12-Hour Restriction: Refrain from taking multivitamins, dietary supplements, or products designed for hair, skin, and nails that contain biotin (vitamin B7) for at least 12 hours before the test. Biotin can interfere with the accuracy of TSH test results.
- Reason: Biotin can lead to incorrect readings, either falsely high or low, in some lab tests, particularly those that assess hormone levels like TSH.
