I have extremely low zinc levels, confirmed by taste test. how many mg of zinc supplements should i take a day to get it back up?

Taste test. Hmmm...: ...and what makes a person think his taste test technique is useful in real life? If the test result says "zinc deficiency", how often is that false, meaning how often does a non-deficient person get a "zinc deficiency" result? On the other hand, if the test result says "normal", how often is that result false, meaning how often does a zinc-deficient person get a normal result?
