BioHack Track models Zinc at a half-life of 24 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.

Reconstitution

Oral capsule, tablet, or lozenge; no reconstitution needed.

Storage

Store at room temperature.

Cautions

Chronic high-dose zinc without copper can cause a copper deficiency; take with food to reduce nausea.

Track Zinc in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
