Principle

Measure first, then decide

Without measured values, any treatment is guesswork. We turn the order around: the lab report first, then the decision.

Consultation to put the measured values in context

01
Measure Iodine status from morning urine, analysed at our partner laboratory in Germany.

02
See where you stand Every value appears in the lab report with the laboratory's reference range. You can see which ones fall inside it and which do not.
Lab report including consultation
03
Targeted, not generic Instead of a standard bundle you take what your values point to — agreed with a practitioner.
Initial consultation, 10 minutes, free
04
Measure again after a few months Running the same analysis a second time shows how the values have changed.
Earliest sensible interval: 3 months

Ory experts support you

Doctors and Heilpraktiker from the Ory team are there for you the whole way — with the lab report and with everything that follows.

Initial consultation

What a value means, and whether a supplement is right for you, is something to discuss with a practitioner. This page makes no recommendation and is no substitute for medical assessment.

What this analysis covers

What is measured

Iodine status in the first morning urine — essential for thyroid hormones, energy metabolism, the nervous system and the skin.

Urine test Iodine in morning urine Building block of thyroid hormones T3 and T4

The biomarker reference explains what lies behind the numbers: how values interact, which cofactors are involved and which biochemical processes take place in the body — for all values and areas, not only this analysis.

To the biomarker reference

For whom

The iodine test is worth considering where iodine deficiency is suspected — for example tiredness, weight gain, sensitivity to cold or other signs of reduced thyroid function. Germany counts as an iodine-deficient area, and many people do not know whether they are getting enough.

What a single value means in your situation is something to discuss with a practitioner. It does not replace medical investigation.

How it works

Four steps from order to lab report.

01 Kit arrives Ships the next working day, postage paid to your door.
02 Collect morning urine Midstream urine, straight after getting up.
03 Send it back Post Monday to Thursday.
04 Get your report 7–21 days after the sample arrives.

Instructions

The key points first:

Use the first morning urine, catching the midstream.
Close the sample tube firmly and label it.
Post only Monday to Thursday in the prepaid envelope.

Please read the instructions carefully. Correct preparation matters, so that your sample – stool, urine, saliva or blood – can be evaluated cleanly and meaningfully.

Returning your sample

To make sure your sample arrives safely, please follow the rule for your country.

Country	Postage	Shipping
Germany	Already paid	Return postage is prepaid, you do not need a stamp.
Austria	Stamp it yourself	To our address in Vienna, not to Germany.
Switzerland	Stamp it yourself	Separate return bag for Switzerland, sent to Germany.
Rest of Europe	Stamp it yourself	Sent to Germany.

In short: for Germany everything is prepared. Austria: add a stamp, send to Vienna. Switzerland: add a stamp, special bag, send to Germany. Rest of Europe: add a stamp, send to Germany.

Family and partner testing

Testing together shows connections that a single analysis does not reveal. We need three things for it.

Clear details per person For each person tested we need a name and date of birth so the laboratory can match everything correctly.

A separate email address Each person needs their own email address for secure digital access. Where that is not possible, we send the results as a PDF to one shared address.

Clear labelling Samples and forms must each be assigned to exactly the right person.

From three tests of the same analysis for the family you get 10 % off. Write to us and you will get your own discount code.

Reimbursement by private insurance

For possible reimbursement by your private insurer, this is how we do it:

01 A short online conversation with one of our therapists We go through your symptoms and take a brief medical history.

02 A referral for the matching lab tests After the conversation you receive a referral that you can submit to your private insurer.

Many private insurers cover the cost in full or in part – some not at all. That depends entirely on your policy. We support you through the process as best we can.
