I believe the answer is:

calcium

(Other definitions for calcium that I've seen before include "White metallic element found in most animals and plants, Ca" , "Element, component of bones and teeth" , "Essential constituent of bones and teeth" , "metal" , "Metallic element present in limestone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
