Description

Zinc Tester may provide a simple method for evaluating zinc status. After placing 10 mL of Zinc Tester in the mouth, a lack of taste or a delayed taste perception suggests a possible zinc insufficiency. An immediate taste perception suggests zinc status may be adequate.

RESULTS :

  • Water Taste: 0%

  • Dry Taste: 5-10%

  • Metallic Taste: 20-40%

  • Wet Cardboard Taster: 60-80%

  • Rotten Egg Taste: 100%
