Sounds like:
Carbon
Hydrogen
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Phosporus
Sodium
Which I believe are the primary elements that make up all life, if I recall correctly.
Edit:
Yep, my memory served me correctly. I double-checked and found this:

I sometimes use the letters CHO to represent carbohydrates and CHON for proteins. Fats are also CHO Our bones have P and Ca S is in some proteins Looks like a list of essential elements for cells and life.

C = carbon It is the backbone of all organic compounds in the body.
H = hydrogen It is found in all organic compounds, necessary for energy transfer in many of the living organisms, a major atom in water
N= nitrogen It is found in all proteins, DNA and RNA.
O = oxygen It is also found in all organic compounds, necessary for respiration to run to completion. A major atom in water as well.
P = phosphorus It is a major component in ATP the main energy storage molecule of life.
S = sulfur It is found in proteins and parts of the immune system.
