Red phosphorus is made by heating white phosphorus. Phosphorus is not found in its pure elemental form on Earth, but it is found in many minerals called phosphates. Therefore we do not have white Phosphorus in our bones.

so our bones contain phosphates?
Of all the phosphorus in the body, 80% of it is found in the teeth and bones in the form of crystalline bone, hydroxyapatite. But while phosphorus is essential for bone health, too much of it is not a good thing. It must work in delicate balance with calcium in our bones and blood.
