    By mass, human cells consist of 65-90% water (H2O), and a significant portion is composed of carbon-containing organic molecules. Oxygen therefore contributes a majority of a human body's mass, followed by carbon.

    99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.

    Oxygen 65 %
    Carbon 18 %
    Hydrogen 10 %
    Nitrogen 3 %
    Calcium 1.5 %
    Phosphorus 1.2 %
    Potassium 0.2 %
    Sulfur 0.2 %
    Chlorine 0.2 %
    Sodium 0.1 %
    Magnesium 0.05 %
    Iron, Cobalt, Copper, Zinc, Iodine <0.05 % each
    Selenium, Fluorine <0.01 % each
