As a food supplement:

Take one 5ml spoon of Zincatest daily. You may wish to dilute this liquid in water or orange juice.

As a taste test to indicate zinc status:

Take the test at least one hour after food or drink. Simply add 5ml of Zincatest solution to 60ml of water and immediately swirl one 5ml spoonful of the diluted mixture around in the mouth for 10 seconds (this mixture can then be swallowed or spat out).

The taste sensation that results from this test provides an indication of zinc status:

Solution tastes like water : Your zinc status is low*

Slightly dry, furry, mineral-like or even : Your zinc status is marginally low*

sweet taste develops after a few seconds

Definite taste, which intensifies with time : Marginally positive zinc status*

Strong unpleasant taste noticed : Your zinc status is positive*

* If your status is low or marginally low, use a zinc supplement or Zincatest until response improves to a positive status. A 3-6 month course of zinc supplementation may be necessary.

A fresh solution should be made up each time a test is required.

After opening, replace cap and store in a refrigerator.

Each 5ml provides 15mg zinc sulphate

Zinc is an essential trace mineral, important to help support the immune system. It is also a component of insulin, body fluids, and many enzyme systems.

The refining of cereal grains, a major dietary staple in the UK, has been shown to remove up to 90% of the available zinc content of these foodstuffs. This, combined with the trend to eat less animal-derived protein, is likely to be one of the reasons why a staggering one out of three adults in the UK receive less than the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for this mineral.

Zincatest is a simple non-invasive test, which gives an indication of zinc status. Zincatest can also be given as a zinc supplement. Recommended for those who find zinc in tablet or capsule form difficult to swallow.
