Humans are made up of trillions of atoms. The most common elements found in the human body are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen, which make up the majority of our atoms.

By mass Oxygen
The elemental composition of the body in order of weight is:Oxygen - 61%Carbon - 22%Hydrogen - 10%Nitrogen 2.5%Calcium - 1.4%Phosphorus - 1.1%Potassium - .2%Sulfur - .2%Sodium - .14%Chlorine - .14%Now if you wanted the most common elements in the body according to # of atoms it would be:Hydrogen - 62.42%Oxygen - 23.96%Carbon - 11.89%Nitrogen - 1.15%Calcium - .22%Phosphorus - .22%Potassium - .03%Sodium - .04%Sulfur - .04%Chlorine - .02%

The most common mineral found in the human body is calcium.
There are many, many elements in the human body, the most common of which is Carbon, as we are carbon based life forms. There is also a lot of oxygen present in the form of oxides, and other elements such as iron in haemoglobin (present in blood) and phosphorus in DNA.
Water is the most common molecular subsance found in the human body(~98%). and phosphorous is the most abundant element in human body.
The human body is composed of approximately 60 different chemical elements, with the most abundant being oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. However, all known stable and radioactive elements have been detected in trace amounts in the human body.
