Oxygen: 65%
Oxygen comes together with hydrogen to form water and 62% of our body is water. It also balances body temperature and osmotic pressure.

Carbon: 18%
Carbon, which is the basis of organic chemistry, also plays an important role in our body. Carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids and proteins are made up of carbon chains.

Hydrogen: 10%
Hydrogen is present in both water and all organic molecules.

Nitrogen: 3%
Nitrogen is found in proteins and nucleic acids that make up our genetic codes.

Calcium: 1.5%
The most abundant mineral in our body is calcium. In addition to its use in bone, it plays a role in the regulation of muscles and proteins.

Phosphorus: 1%
The ATP molecule, which meets the energy needs of our cells, uses phosphorus. We also have phosphorus in our bones.

Potassium: 0.35%
Potassium, which is used in nerve signals and heart rhythm regulation, is an important electrolyte for our body.

Sulfur: 0.25%
Sulfur is found in amino acids. It gives shape to proteins and makes them suitable for the functions needed.

Sodium: 0.15%
Sodium is also an important electrolyte. He's responsible for nerve signals like potassium. It also helps to regulate the rate of water in our bodies.

Chlorine: 0.15%
Chlorine is responsible for the balance of our body fluids.

Magnesium: 0.05%
It's involved in over 300 metabolic reactions. It plays a role in the formation of muscles and bones.
