Lamberts Zincatest Composition:
Each 5 ml contains: |
|
|
Zinc (as sulphate)
|
15 mg
|
Hypo-allergenic formula. All minerals are listed in elemental values.
Usage:
This product is a suspension of zinc, intended not only as a dietary supplement but also as a quick and accurate taste test to determine zinc status in the body.
- As a dietary supplement: take a spoonful of 5 ml Zincatest with a meal unless otherwise advised. If desired, you can dissolve it in water or orange juice.
- As a taste test: at least an hour after food or drink; take a spoonful of 5 ml Zincatest, stir it into 60 ml of water and immediately afterwards swill 5 ml of the diluted mixture around the mouth. Then swallow or spit out. (Make a fresh mixture each time a test is required.)
The taste sensation will be one of the following:
-
- negative or low - tastes like water
- moderately negative or low - a dry, furry, mineral-like or possibly sweet taste develops after a few seconds
- moderately positive - definite taste which intensifies
- positive - an immediate strong, unpleasant taste is experienced.
With taste sensation 1 or 2, continue with the recommended daily use of Zincatest or another zinc supplement until taste sensations 3 or 4 are experienced.
Caution:
In some cases, zinc taken on an empty stomach may cause mild stomach upset, such as nausea. Prolonged intake of 25 mg of zinc or more may lead to anaemia.
After opening, replace the cap and store in the refrigerator.

Tasteless (if you don't have enough zinc), easy to dose. After the second bottle, I had to stop because the taste became too strong. 👍
Easy to take. Nice product. The only downside is that no measuring cap or similar is provided.

Hi, Is it also suitable for a 16-month-old child? If so, what dosage should be used?
This product is designed for adults and not specifically intended for young children. The concentration of zinc in Zincatest is relatively high (often around 10 mg of elemental zinc per 5 ml), which poses a risk of overdose in small children.
For children aged 1 to 3 years, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of zinc is about 3 mg per day. This is significantly lower than the amount in an adult dosage of Zincatest.
Since this product does not specify a child dosage and the absorption in liquid form can be very efficient, we advise against using Zincatest for a 16-month-old child, unless explicitly recommended by a paediatrician or doctor familiar with your child's health situation.
If there are indications of a zinc deficiency, a doctor or orthomolecular dietitian can help choose a suitable child-friendly zinc supplement with an appropriate dosage.
Hello, As I understand it, zinc is not stored in the body, so you do not have a real reserve of it. Therefore, you need a daily amount to keep it at the right level. How is it possible that the zinc test, while taking a zinc supplement, develops a stronger taste over time? Is it not the case that what you intake is also consumed? And if I am at the right level, how long can I expect to go without a supplement? I did the test and I actually just tasted water, with a vague soft taste later on, not strong at all.
It is indeed logical to assume that the daily intake of zinc is also consumed, which would mean that zinc should be taken long-term. On the other hand, it is also true that deficiencies in zinc are replenished with daily intake of extra zinc. Both arguments are valid; however, whether we need to take zinc long-term depends on our personal situation. There are many factors that influence our zinc status: diet, medication and alcohol use, infection pressure (e.g., COVID-19 or flu), hormonal status, and physical conditions are just a few of them.
Generally, we state that a maintenance dosage is 15 mg of zinc per day. This is exactly what 5 ml of Zincatest provides. 15 mg is sufficient for daily supplementation under normal circumstances, but it will not replenish significant zinc deficiencies in the short term. For this, therapeutic doses of 20-60 mg of zinc are needed. Therapeutic doses are recommended for short periods, after which the dosage is reduced to the maintenance dose. If you were to take double the dosage of Zincatest for a while, you would notice that your taste experience would indicate how your zinc status is. Once you experience a stronger taste, you can reduce the dosage back to 5 ml per day. It is difficult to indicate how long you should remain on this maintenance dosage. This is very individual, but the body needs it daily, and when zinc is insufficiently obtained through diet, long-term dosing is an option, whereby we always advise taking a break for a few weeks after 3-4 months so that the body can also continue to absorb zinc from food.
Hi! What are the ingredients of this product? I'd love to hear from you - it can also be in Dutch. Thank you! Tanja
Zincatest Liquid Zinc provides 15 mg of zinc sulfate per daily dose. The ingredients in this product are: Zinc sulfate, Heptahydrate, purified water.
For therapeutic purposes, it is not a problem to give the full dose for a few weeks, so 15 mg of zinc per day. For long-term use, it is important that the child also receives sufficient copper and iron. Prolonged intake of high doses of zinc can lead to a deficiency of these minerals.
