Abstract
The levels of selected elements in L. javanica leaves collected from ten different locations around the KwaZulu-Natal province were also investigated. The levels of the elements were found to be in the decreasing order of Ca > Mg > Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu > Se > Cr > Pb > Co > Cd for total concentrations and Ca > Mg > Fe > Zn > Cu > Cr > Pb for water extractable forms. It was evident from the study that the herbal tonic was a good source of Ca and Mg, thus accredited as a viable immune booster and toxic metals were below the recommended levels in the investigated samples.
