Zinc Deficiency Status

How can we test if you are Zinc Deficient?

A simple yet effective test that involves swishing a liquid in your mouth and then detecting the taste response. I can tell in seconds whether you are Zinc Deficient or not.

Zinc deficiency contributes to so many diseases and is the cause of many other nutritional deficiencies, why wouldn’t you have it tested? The good news is that every client that books an Initial Consultation automatically gets checked for zinc deficiencies, for FREE

Why Test?

Zinc is important for so many enzyme systems ranging from liver function to DNA synthesis, serotonin production, sex hormone production, insulin production, stabilization of the histamine response, immune cell production and those that prevent free radical overload in your body. Just to name a few! Zinc is required for the production of hydrochloric acid that is essential to break down your food and extract all the goodness from it. Thus zinc depletion is the cornerstone of many nutritional deficiencies.
