Lamberts Zincatest offers a simple, non-invasive method to assess an individual's zinc status while also functioning as an effective zinc supplement. The product is particularly beneficial for those who struggle with swallowing tablets or capsules.

In the UK, approximately one in three adults receive less than the Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) for zinc, which can be attributed to the refining processes that remove up to 90% of available zinc content from cereal grains and the decreasing consumption of animal-derived protein. Zinc is crucial for protein synthesis within the body, playing a vital role in the health of the nervous, immune, and reproductive systems, as well as influencing the senses of taste and smell. Furthermore, a significant portion of the body's zinc is found in the skin and is involved in tissue renewal.

Lamberts Zincatest is a clear liquid solution provided in a 100ml bottle, making it a convenient mineral supplement and status test. The solution can be consumed neat or diluted with water or orange juice, as preferred. With an alarming number of adults in the UK experiencing zinc deficiency, Lamberts Zincatest provides an accessible and practical solution for monitoring and supplementing zinc levels in the body. This product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, ensuring a wide range of individuals can benefit from its use.

Definite taste which intensifies with time: Marginally Positive. 4. Strong unpleasant taste noticed immediately: Positive. If response corresponds to 1 or 2 above use a zinc supplement or Zincatest until response improves to 3 or
A 3 to 6 month course may be necessary.
