What is a Zinc Blood Test?

When we talk about the minerals that the human body contains, we generally think about Calcium, Iron, Sodium, etc. Though the mentioned minerals are important, but we do forget about one of the most crucial elements, Zinc, whose presence enables tons of functionalities that are going on in our body.

The presence of Zinc in our blood cells holds a lot of importance as it is directly responsible for maintaining the structure of several hormones like estrogen, thyroxin, etc. along with Vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin D.

Due to this, most doctors suggest taking a proper Zinc blood test to understand whether the percentage of Zinc in our bodies is within the prescribed range or not.

Yes, Zinc needs to be within 11mg to ensure that every function associated with it remains unaffected.

The lab technicians will test the sample by following established standards, to ensure correct reports. Thyrocare Labs has a team of professionals who are skilled and experienced. After the testing is done, your reports are sent to your email within 1-2 days. On the other hand, if you need a hard copy of the report, expect the delivery of the same within 3-5 business days.
