Zinc - Premium Liquid Ionic Mineral Immune Support(100 days at 15 mg Per 10 Drop Serving) 50 ml Bottle

I bought this to do the taste test to see if I had a zinc deficiency, since I had symptoms. My alkaline phosphatase on my blood work was in the low 50s (under 70 can mean zinc deficiency).If you're unfamiliar, zinc tastes different depending on how deficient you are. If you have very low zinc, it will have no flavor. If you are only a little deficient it might have a slight flavor. If it has a strong metallic taste, you don't have a zinc deficiency.I get a kick reading the reviews where some people say it tastes horrible and then other people say it tastes like water and wonder if they got a bad one.I tasted it, and it barely had any flavor, almost like water, so I was low. My girlfriend tried it, and immediately spit it out saying it tasted like battery acid. Clearly she is not zinc deficient. I'll start taking zinc supplements and see if I start tasting it once I'm no longer deficient. Update: after a few weeks of supplementing zinc it's starting to taste metallic.I plan to continue testing with this, since taking too much zinc can cause as many problems as having a deficiency. Too much zinc causes copper deficiency, which can cause anemia, leaky gut, etc. Normally our bodies naturally give us the right zinc/copper balance, so you don't have to take supplements of either (and shouldn't). But some people have genetic conditions where they are chronically low in zinc and need to supplement. But many zinc supplements are very high dose and they end up depleting their copper and causing different problems. Hopefully with the taste test I will be able to find the right amount to supplement.

When I first started taking this, there was barely any taste. Now it has a sweetness to it and something else that sticks to me tongue as though it's dry. I take it straight without any chasers. That's been my experience. I don't take this regularly so I've never gotten to the point where it tastes metallic. I think I need another bottle to get there. I'm that deficient.

I have taken this for just over 1 month now. I waited to write a review, knowing supplements sometimes take a while to catch up in your body and really make any difference. *Notes: I have noticed a difference in some key functions, all related to zinc. If you Google, "signs of zinc defincency", there is a list of numerous ailments. It is said that even slightly lower zinc levels can have negative effects on overall health. This would seem especially true to a person with other health conditions at play, including hormonal ones, as seen in endocrine disorders. I am not a Dr., so I am not advocating the use of this supplement for any particular condition. I can only say that my personal health is seemingly better and would recommend giving it a try. This supplement is the only new thing I have done in the past month, so I feel I can accurately rate it.*CONS: taste (it's not for everyone, you can mix it with juice it says!), plastic bottle (it does say bottle is BPA free & made this way so you don't break it), cost (offering a deal to repurchase would be helpful)*PROS: the sellers reached out via email prior to product arriving and a little while after (If there was a problem or adverse reaction, it seemed like you would be able to get a hold of someone), absorbency (far superior to pill supplements), quality ingredients (no artificial ingredients, no preservatives whatsoever) I personally don't like long reviews and people raving about how amazing a supplement is. I feel each person's experience will be dependent on their personal health. Hopefully, this provided the honest feedback Amazon shoppers are hoping to find in the reviews :)

I am grateful that this is third party tested, however, there are not 100 servings - perhaps 70ish is more like it.

Zinc truly is a great vitamin to take. It’s been my saving grace now! I use it with vitamin C and works fabulously!!!
