I have been checking supplements for ten years and this was the first mention I have ever heard of the value of zinc.

Unless things changed in recent years, Zinc was never part of any routine blood tests. If deficiency is suspected, it’s easy to use a supplement. Most popular multivitamins will have some Zinc. How to do it is simple - but he would probably have to call the lab to find out the code. It probably won’t be on the routine order form. Some insurers, like Medicare, could be a pain in the butt - the doc would need to justify the order by using an “appropriate” diagnosis. For that, he would need to find conditions that “justify” ordering Zinc levels.
