Zinc Test

  • Home
  • Zinc Test

Dear Friends,

Zinc became one of the most sought-after minerals during the COVID pandemic, because zinc is vitally important in fighting viral replication in the body. The COVID cytokine storm exhausts zinc supplies. During the pandemic, many people started taking zinc. Some never did, and remain depleted after having COVID or were already depleted and stayed that way. 

One of the ways you could bet your zinc had been depleted was if you lost your taste and smell.  Zinc is critical for those two senses, which were 2 of the telltale symptoms of COVID infection, especially in earlier strains.

But zinc is a crucial player in countless body functions, including combatting all infections, supporting female and male vitality, maintaining skin health, proper cellular reproduction and much more!  

The problems with taking isolated zinc supplements: First, ALL vitamins and minerals come in a package in nature. They are never found alone. Minerals require a combo of other nutrients in order to be properly absorbed through the intestines and into the bloodstream. Second, all minerals have counterbalancing minerals. Think of a teeter totter – you need someone on the other side to balance you! Minerals require their counter-mineral in a complex in order to work properly.

When you take isolated zinc in high doses, it causes a relative copper deficiency in the body. What does a copper deficiency look like? Well, it looks like a vitamin C deficiency because copper is part of the vitamin C complex. WOW! This is complicated. Don’t I need vitamin C to fight infections??

Yeah, here’s the thing. What you really need to support your immune system is to eat whole foods with a variety of colors and keep processed foods to a minimum.

Here is a list of FOODS that will supply a natural whole zinc complex into your body:

  1. Red Meat

  2. Oysters

  3. Legumes: Chickpeas, Lentils, Beans

  4. Other shellfish: Shrimp, Mussels

  5. Cashews

  6. Almonds

  7. Pumpkin Seeds

  8. Hemp Seeds

  9. Eggs

  10. Dark Chocolate (70-85%)

Want to know if you are zinc-deficient? Stop by our office! We will be offering a FREE Zinc Taste Test the entire month of November! Here’s how it works: You swish a small cup of liquid zinc around your mouth for ten seconds. If you get a strong metallic taste, your zinc levels are fine. If it tastes like water, your zinc levels are depleted. The question of how bad can be determined by how weak the metallic taste is. 

If you are depleted:

–Immuplex: 3 a day for one month (one bottle) will usually get you up to normal levels. Immuplex also provides broad spectrum immune support for the upcoming cold and flu season. 

-OR Zinc Complex: a whole food-based zinc support. 

 As I said, we will be offering the zinc test all of November. So ask for it at your appointment, or stop by anytime you want – the test takes less than a minute! This is a great chance to preemptively strengthen your immune system and make a move towards broader health. 

God Bless,
Dr. Dan

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
