The invention is directed toward an improved formable bone composition for application to a bone defect site to promote new bone growth at the site which comprises a new bone growth inducing compound of demineralized lyophilized allograft bone particles ranging from about 100 to 850 microns. The bone particles are mixed in an excipient carrier combination containing carboxymethylcellulose, sodium hyaluronate, and a sodium phosphate saline buffer, the carboxymethylcellulose component of the carrier ranging from about 5.0 to about 11.0% of the composition and the sodium hyaluronate component of the carrier ranging from about 0.3 to about 0.7% of the composition, the composition having a pH between 6.5-7.5.
