Austin, Texas – March 12, 2025 – Parents and caregivers now have a new resource to support their children’s growth and their loved ones’ recovery. Dr. Christopher Frederickson, an internationally recognized expert in zinc biology, is proud to announce the launch of the Zinc Doc Store on April 2, 2025.

The store will feature TEST MY ZINC, the first commercially available test in the U.S. designed to measure long-term zinc nutritional status using hair and fingernail samples.

This innovative service allows customers to submit clippings for analysis and receive detailed reports on their zinc levels within days.

Priced at $50 per person with discounts for families or groups, the test offers a unique, needle-free approach, providing a convenient way to understand long-term zinc stores in the body, unlike standard serum tests that only show recent zinc intake.

Why Zinc Matters

Zinc is often overlooked in daily nutrition, yet it plays a critical role in growth, immune health, and recovery. “Most people don’t know the power of zinc,” says Dr. Frederickson, whose research has earned him international recognition, including the prestigious Frederickson Prize from the International Society for Zinc in Biology (ISZB).

“When you get the correct type of zinc in your system, your kids can grow taller, and your elderly parents can actually recover faster.” Dr. Frederickson’s decades of research have highlighted zinc’s importance for childhood development, healthy aging, and injury repair. Zinc deficiency can lead to stunted growth in children and delayed healing in adults, but proper supplementation can help fill nutritional gaps often left by modern diets.

Recipes Perfected Over Decades

In addition to testing services, Zinc Doc Store offers solutions for families struggling with picky eaters or metallic-tasting supplements.

Cathy Frederickson has spent decades perfecting recipes that incorporate zinc seamlessly into meals without altering taste or texture. Through trial and error, she developed formulations that ensure children and adults alike can enjoy the benefits of zinc without noticing its metallic taste.

“Zinc isn’t naturally abundant in most staple foods—it’s found in limited sources like shellfish or pumpkin seeds,” explains Cathy Frederickson. “By experimenting with proportions and brands over many years, I’ve created recipes that make it easy for families to add zinc into their daily meals without any fuss.”

Launch Details

The online store officially opens on April 2, 2025, at www.zincdoc.com.

Families interested in learning more about their zinc levels or incorporating science-backed supplements into their diets are encouraged to visit the site at launch.
