How does the Zinc Taste Test work?
• Answer: Visit your local pharmacy or health food store and request a zinc taste test to check your zinc levels. The Zinc Test is a quick and reliable way to check your zinc status in just 10 seconds. To take the test, you hold 10 mls of the zinc solution in your mouth for 10 seconds and notice how it tastes. The test works through the action of gustin, a zinc-dependent enzyme present in saliva. A lack of taste or a delayed taste perception indicates a zinc deficiency state. An immediate strong taste perception of the solution suggests adequate zinc levels. If you zinc levels are low, we recommend supplementing with Zinc Fix and retesting zinc levels after 30 days of supplementation.
