The Role of Zinc in the Human Body: 
Zinc also plays a role in the regulation of the immune system. Being an essential element, it isnot synthesized by the human body but must be ingested through food or mineral supplements.
Some of the common food sources of zinc include beef, poultry, seafood, and grains, among others. In adults, normal serum zinc levels are between 70 and 250 ug/dl. After oral ingestion, zinc absorption occurs mainly in the ileum and duodenum and its binds to plasma proteins such as albumin in the blood. Following its metabolism, it is excreted mainly in the stool; some metabolites are also excreted in the urine and sweat, but to a significantly lower extent.
