It's in your bones (6)

I believe the answer is:

marrow

(Other definitions for marrow that I've seen before include "Fatty stuff in bones or large fruit" , "Vegetable; bone filling" , "essential part" , "Matter in bones or a vegetable" , "Connective tissue in bones" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
