  From distant past, Medicinal plants have played an important role in the prevention and treatment of diseases as a rich source of mineral elements and secondary metabolites. In this study the amount of some mineral elements and carbohydrates in gum tragacanth of six different provinces (West Azarbaijan, Hamedan, Chaharmahal-Bakhtiyari, Yazd, Kerman and Isfahan) were investigated. After collecting gum tragacanth of Astragalus gossypinus from late June to mid-September 1391 its mineral elements including phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium and zinc were measured using flam photometer, Spectrophotometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy device. To determine the glucose, fructose and sucrose, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used. The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference in 1% level among mineral elements and carbohydrates in studied places. So that the highest amount of magnesium, iron and zinc was found in Hamedan province, and the highest amount of potassium and phosphorus elements was found in West Azarbaijan province. The results showed among the mineral elements that the potassium element had the highest amount and the iron element had the lowest amount. The highest amounts of glucose (87 units), fructose (72.5 units) and sucrose (23.1 units) were obtained from gum in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari Province, Hamedan and West Azarbaijan, respectively. Due to the difference in the amount of mineral elements and sugars found in gum studied from different provinces, it can be used in various industries including the pharmaceutical, healthcare and food.
