The answer is 180g. Sulfur composes approximately 0.3% of the human body composition. Therefore for a 60kg human, then the amount of sulfur in their body would be (0.3*60)/100 =0.18kg = 180g. Sulfur is mostly found in proteins since it’s a major element that is used in the formation of protein bonds like sulfur bridges etcetera.
