Short Answer:
Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen make up most of the human body.
Long Answer:
There are 60 types of elements normally detectable in the human body with two dozen known to be either essential or beneficial. Three, however, H,C, and O,
make up the majority of our atoms.
Hydrogen represents 63% of the atoms in our body but only 10% of our mass.
Oxygen is almost 2/3 rds (65%) of our mass but only 12% of our atoms.
Carbon is 1/8th (12%) of the atoms and 18% of the mass.
Together, H+C+O, account for 63+24+12=99% of the atoms and 65+18+10=93% of our mass.
One has to add in nitrogen + calcium + phosphorus + potassium + sulfur (=3%+1.4%+1.1%+.25%+.25%) to get 7% more and account for 99% of our mass.

This mineral works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth?
I understand you are asking for MINERALS not compounds or elements. In which case the minerals that make teeth strong are Calcite and Apatite, while in bones the mineral is mainly Calcite However, the elements needed for strong bones and teeth (which make up the minerals) are Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Fluoride. Milk is a good source of these elements.
