If it says you taste something immediately, do they mean as soon as it's put on your tongue or after the 10 seconds and you have swallowed it?
I just usually check my nails for this, white spots on your nails or lines in them mean a deficiency, I remember having that in high school but now it has been gone for a while. Guess the Chlorella I used for years which is high in it did the deficiency in for a while. My sense of smell and taste is dull though, thats another way to tell without a test IMO.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
