Zinc Blood Test

What it measures

Microelements

Clinical significance

The blood zinc test is the main test to detect zinc deficiency. It is effective at identifying major deficiencies, though it is less sensitive to mild deficiencies, as changes in plasma zinc occur only when zinc intake is extremely low. Plasma zinc levels can also be influenced by hypo- or hyperproteinemia, acute infections, stress, the timing of blood sampling (post-meal), pregnancy, liver disease, malignancies, and pernicious anemia.

πŸ” Optimal Zinc Levels:

  • Normal blood zinc levels range from 80 to 120 mcg/dL.

πŸ”· Zinc Deficiency:

Zinc deficiency can lead to skin changes that resemble eczema but do not improve with moisturizers, steroid creams, or lotions. Other symptoms of zinc deficiency include hair loss, frequent infections, slow wound healing, and diarrhea.

🍽 Recommendations for Maintaining Normal Zinc Levels:

  • Diet: Include zinc-rich foods such as meat, seafood, nuts, legumes, seeds, and whole grains in your diet.
  • Avoid excess copper: Excessive copper can interfere with zinc absorption.
  • Consult a doctor: If you experience symptoms of zinc deficiency, it is recommended to consult a physician for further evaluation or dietary adjustments.

My journey back to health with Healsens. Thank you!!

That's when I turned to a nutritionist and ordered a blood test through Healsens. … Four months later, I retested. My biological age dropped to 24β€”nearly a decade younger than my real age.

Useful app to track analytics and 2nd opinion

It helps me track main parameters, understanding what do they mean and correlations, and make critical analysis to make preventative changes. Hope too see new fichas soon!

Everything is great! Excellent app! It's very convenient for storing all your test results! The only thing I wish was that you could record blood pressure readings for both arms, as this is sometimes important for blood pressure monitoring.

A useful app. It motivates me to lead a healthy lifestyle and monitor my diet. After the test results, I decided to change my diet – I cut out flour and chocolate. I lost 2 kg in about a week. We'll see how the test results look over time.
