      Our bones are made from ‘chemicals’, yes – everything is. You can break everything down to chemical elements.
      Calcium is an important chemical in bones. They are a mix of elements.
      In my job, I used to make a chemical which is very similar to bone. It is called hydroxyapatite. We spray it on some of the implants we make
