Zinzino Norwegian Health supplement

Those of you that have visited the clinic recently, will have noticed the Zinzino products in reception. Zinzino is a Norwegian Health supplement company whose products differ from most other supplements. Firstly, their supplementation and recommendations are TEST BASED (rather than guess based); secondly their omega supplements suspended in polyphenols (plant-based nutrition /pre-harvest olive oil) so that the omega 3 doesn’t OXIDISE rapidly like it would do in a capsule, thus the oil is absorbed by the gut rather than wasted.
 
Kristine recently visited the factory in Oslo where most of the supplements are not only made and packaged but audited by representatives from all the countries their product are sold. (Not just the finished product but also the individual ingredients).
 
Zinzino currently offer 4 tests; these are sent to an independent laboratory in Oslo. 
 
Balance test (omega 6:3 ratio)
Vitamin D test
HbA1c test (blood sugar profiling)
Gut Health test
 

BALANCE TEST
The Balance Test is the foundation of the Balance concept. It provides you with accurate readings of 11 fatty acid levels in your blood and your essential Omega-6:3 ratio with six different health markers. The analysis is independently managed, and the results are completely anonymous, telling you upfront if the body’s Omega nutrients are in balance. The test includes personalised recommendations and guidelines on how to restore the essential Omega-6:3 balance in your body and move forward on your health journey. 

A high Omega 6 read means that your cell membranes (all - heart brain muscle skin etc) will become thicker and more inflexible. This in turn makes it harder for nutrients to enter, and for waste to exit. A high Omega 6 read means your body will struggle to “mop up” inflammation. Micro/macro inflammation in the body is one of the biggest contributing factors to cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders and endocrine disorders like Diabetes type 2.

VITAMIN D TEST
The Vitamin D Test allows you to monitor your levels of the sunshine nutrient throughout the year and determine whether the sun is doing its job or if you need help to improve your vital vitamin D-levels. The test includes intuitive, easy-to- follow instructions and personalised recommendations on how to top up with just as much Vitamin D as your body needs, when it needs it.​

 HbA1c
The HbA1c test puts your personal health status on the radar and helps you find out if your current lifestyle is sustainable, or if you need to act now for lasting health. It determines your long-term blood sugar levels in the context of your diet and overall habits and guide you towards a future of well-being. The test includes a lifestyle assessment with personalised recommendations on diet, activities and exercise.
