| How to find out if your zinc levels are low
To perform the test, put about 2 Tablespoons of zinc status liquid into a cup and then into your mouth. Hold it in your mouth for up to 30 seconds to see if a definite taste develops, and then swallow. Depending on the time it took to notice a taste or the strength of the taste, the responses are classified as follows:
A reaction in category 1 or 2 suggests a zinc deficiency and a need for zinc supplementation. A reaction of 3 or 4 indicates the patient has adequate zinc levels. Those who scored 1 or 2 should take Zinc Liquid daily as a supplement (1-2 Tbsp per day) until a strong and immediate taste develops. Keep retesting zinc levels weekly to keep zinc levels optimal. Neurological Illnesses A zinc deficiency can be implicated in a wide range of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, dyslexia, acute psychosis, dementia, anorexia nervosa, attention deficit disorder, and depression. Zinc supplementation may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It is suggested that a zinc deficiency plays a role in the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.1 Immune Strength Zinc knocks out colds and other viruses if you catch them early enough. People with AIDS are almost universally deficient in zinc, which makes their already weak immune system weaker. Restoring their supply of zinc, taking doses of up to 100mg daily has been found to be a very important strategy to stabilize their immune function and reducing complications of the disease.2 Diabetes Zinc is very important because of its ability to balance blood sugar.3 Zinc helps the pancreas manufacture insulin and may protect the receptor sites on all cell membranes that allow the hormone to enter.4 Skin Health Almost all skin disorders improve with increased zinc supplementation. In doses of 100mg or more, it is especially helpful in treating acne. Some researchers think that acne is caused by a zinc and essential fatty acid deficiency.5 Pregnancy A zinc deficiency can lead to many pregnancy-related problems, including spontaneous abortion, toxemia, growth retardation and delivery problems. Tests show that women given 22mg of zinc daily gave birth to significantly larger birth-weight babies.6 Wound Healing Zinc has a healing power, which promotes protein synthesis. Applied directly, zinc improves the healing of leg ulcers, according to research. People who get these wounds are likely to have a lower than normal level of zinc.7 Zinc supplementation is a must after a surgical procedure. References: 1. Robert C.
