Calcium and Magnesium
The organic matrix elements of a bone are primarily collagen. This allows the bone to flex.

first off the nature of shapes and structures (honey comb like) reduces weight without much of a decrease in strength. next hydroxylapatite is the major component of bone and gives it it's compressive strength. and finally there is another side the the strength of bone. collagen helps the bone not to break by giving it some flex. this may seem counter intuitive but a broken bone has no strength so collagen helps keep bones in working order.
Calcium and phosphate are the two electrolytes that play an important role in bone formation. Calcium provides the structural framework for bones and is necessary for their strength and rigidity. Phosphate is a key component of hydroxyapatite, which is the mineralized form of bone and contributes to its hardness. Together, calcium and phosphate work synergistically to support bone health and formation.
