Pound for pound, healthy human bone is stronger than many types of concrete because of its unique internal structure. Bone is both lightweight and flexible, allowing it to absorb impacts without breaking easily. It also constantly repairs and rebuilds itself throughout your life.

This combination of strength and regeneration makes bone an extraordinary natural material. The human body is an engineering masterpiece.
