This work involved the analyses of elemental content of edible clay and investigation of the kinetics of some of the detected elements in the brain and heart of rabbits.The clay sample was collected from Enyigbavillage in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State of Nigeria and only metallic elements were determined in the clay and the detected elements kinetically investigated. The analysis of edible clay obtainedwas carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). They include Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Ba, Mn, Ca, Ni, Na, Mg, K, Fe, As, Co and Cr. The results showed the presence of essential metallic elements, trace elements and toxic heavy metals in the clay.The concentrations of all the other absorbed elements were within the WHO acceptable levels for human consumption per day.The levels of the trace heavy metals in the edible clay were low hence they were not absorbed into the body.
