all current insulins preparation contain zinc (Katzung & Trevors pharmacology, 7th editon page 347).
the problem with insulin is that is has a half life of 3 minutes so duration of action is short, imagine for patient to inject them self so frequently than already 1-5 x/day
Zinc and protamine added in the insulin preparation to prolonged their duration of action. The ratio of zinc to insulin influences the rate of release of active hormones.
I hope this information is helpful

Which element affects the action of insulin in glucose?
Zinc is the element that significantly affects the action of insulin in glucose metabolism. It plays a crucial role in the storage and secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. Zinc ions are essential for the proper folding and assembly of insulin, and they also facilitate the release of insulin in response to elevated glucose levels in the bloodstream.
