Are You Concerned About Your Mineral Balance? The Zinc 24 Hour Urine Test Provides Answers
Many South Africans struggle with unexplained fatigue, slow healing, or frequent infections without understanding the underlying cause. Zinc, an essential mineral, plays a crucial role in over 300 enzymatic reactions in your body. When your zinc levels are imbalanced, it can affect everything from your immune system to your ability to heal properly. Our comprehensive Zinc 24 Hour Urine Test offers the clarity you need to take control of your health.
Understanding Your Zinc 24 Hour Urine Test
This specialised test measures the amount of zinc excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period, providing an accurate assessment of your body’s zinc status. Unlike single urine samples, the 24-hour collection gives us a complete picture of your zinc metabolism throughout the day. Our advanced ICPMS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) technology ensures laboratory-grade accuracy you can trust for making informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Zinc Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Frequent colds or infections that won’t go away
- Slow wound healing or skin conditions
- Unexplained fatigue or low energy levels
- Hair loss or brittle nails
- Loss of taste or smell sensation
- Digestive issues or poor appetite
- Following a vegetarian or vegan diet
- Chronic stress or high physical activity levels
Many Johannesburg professionals, Cape Town athletes, and Durban residents have discovered zinc imbalances affecting their daily lives without realizing the connection.
Why Zinc Balance Matters for Your Health
Optimal zinc levels are essential for:
- Strong Immune Defence: Zinc supports your body’s ability to fight infections
- Healthy Skin & Healing: Crucial for collagen production and tissue repair
