Abstract

The mineral composition of plant extracts from the Boraginaceae family was examined in this paper. The research includes the plants: Anchusa officinalis L., Echium vulgare L. and Echium italicum L. Content analysis of the elements was done using inductively coupled plasma with a mass spectrophotometer. The results of the study showed that the extracts tested are rich in mineral composition, while the concentration of toxic elements is below the corresponding limit maximum permitted concentration according to the recommendation of the World Health Organization.
