As a food supplement:
Take one 5ml spoon of
Zincatest daily. You may wish to dilute this liquid in water or orange
juice.
As a taste test to
indicate zinc status:
Take the test at least one
hour after food or drink. Simply add 5ml of Zincatest solution to 60ml
of water and immediately swirl one 5ml spoonful of the diluted mixture
around in the mouth for 10 seconds (this mixture can then be swallowed
or spat out).
The taste sensation that
results from this test provides an indication of zinc status:

Your zinc status is marginally low*
sweet
taste develops after a few seconds
Definite
taste, which intensifies with time : Marginally
positive zinc status*

If your status is low or marginally low, use a zinc supplement or
Zincatest until response improves to a positive status. A 3-6
month course of zinc supplementation may be necessary.
A
fresh solution should be made up each time a test is required.
After
opening, replace cap and store in a refrigerator.
