Preparation:

Avoid zinc supplements for 24 hours before the test (unless advised otherwise by your doctor).

Let your provider know if you're taking multivitamins or medications that might affect zinc levels.

Fasting Required:
8–12 hours of fasting is recommended for the most accurate results.

Best Time for Testing:
Morning is ideal, as zinc levels can fluctuate throughout the day.

This test helps assess zinc deficiency or excess, which is important for immune function, wound healing, and overall cellular health.
