The evaluation of macro and micro elements in Chromolaena Odorala roots was carried out using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of the analysis were as follows: Calcium (Ca) 1.33+80, Magnesium (Mg) 0.05+0.00, Potassium (K) 4.90+0.004, Sodium (Na) 0.03 +0.10, and Phosphorus (P) 0.50+1.20 while that for the micro elements were also obtained as follows: Iron (Fe) (0.11 +mg/100kg), Copper (Cu) (0.020+0.02mg/100kg) Manganese (Mn) (0.54+0.025 mg/100kg) and Zinc (Zn) (0.55+0.005). The results obtained when duly compared with the recommended dietary allowance standard (RDA) showed that Sodium (Na) had the lowest level (0.0310.80) among the analyzed minerals, while Potassium (K) had the highest level (4.90 0.004), all the other minerals were however found to be within the recommended dietary allowance standard (RDA). An indication that the root of Chromolaena odorata on consumption could serve as a supplement for the mineral elements.
