Introduction. Medicinal herbal preparations are very popular in the complex therapy of various diseases. Many medicinal plants are able to concentrate mineral elements. Knowledge of the content of macro- and microelements in plants makes it possible to purposefully use them for the prevention and treatment of human microelementoses. Also, to assess the safety of herbal medicines, it is necessary to monitor the content of toxic elements in plant raw materials and the transition of toxic elements from raw materials to aqueous extracts. Objectives: study of pectoral species No.1 and its components mineral elements composition and contamination with toxic elements. Material and methods. Samples of pectoral species No.1 and its components – marshmallow roots, oregano herb, coltsfoot leaves (manufacturer: Krasnogorskleksredstva JSC) were purchased at Moscow’s pharmacy and used for analysis. The elemental composition of pectoral species No. 1 and its components was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Results. 29 elements were found in pectoral species No. 1 and its components. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, aluminum, iron, strontium, zinc, manganese are the predominant elements of pectoral species No. 1 and its components. Conclusion. The high content of potassium, calcium and magnesium in the pectoral species No. 1 can be explained by the high content of these elements in each component. The content of heavy metals in the pectoral species No. 1 and its components did not exceed the maximum permissible concentration.
