What is Zinc Test
The Zinc Test is a simple and inexpensive test to assess zinc status in the body. It involves placing a small amount of zinc sulfate solution in the mouth and measuring the taste perception. If the taste is strong and immediate, it indicates adequate zinc levels. If the taste is delayed or has no taste at all, it suggests a deficiency in zinc. The test should be performed on an empty stomach to avoid any interference with food or other substances.
