ZINCATEST - Oral Zinc Sulfate Deficiency Status Test Solution (100ml Liquid)

Lamberts Zincatest® Oral Zinc Sulfate Deficiency Status Test Solution, 100ml Liquid

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

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 receives 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. Recommend to those who find zinc in tablet or capsule form difficult to swallow.
