Measures

Zinc concentration inside red blood cells.

Why it matters

Serum zinc is affected by recent meals, time of day and inflammation, which limits it. Red cell zinc is intended to describe the cellular picture instead.

Before you collect

Healius centres only. Note zinc supplementation — it directly affects results.
