Zinc Deficiency

Assess whether you present clinical signs of zinc deficiency.

Zinc is an essential trace element, a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes involved in immunity, skin health, taste, smell, and fertility. According to Dr. Jean-Paul Curtay, approximately 80% of French people have insufficient zinc status, making it one of the most widespread and most underdiagnosed deficiencies. This test targets the most specific clinical signs of zinc deficiency.

Points forts

  • + Rapid identification of clinical signs
  • + Simple self-assessment test
  • + Detection of sensory (taste, smell) and skin manifestations typical of zinc deficiency

Limites

  • - Does not replace blood testing
  • - Some signs may have other causes
  • - Limited sensitivity for subclinical deficiencies
