Yes, every human being or for that matter every living thing is the product of chemistry.
Each human is defined as a twenty-six-element molecule, no different then any other molecule in the universe. Life, in this point-of-view, is the evolutionary reaction process between human molecules in which work, heat, and new molecules are products. Human reaction life, categorically, is a thermally-driven process that occurs over substrate. Substrate-defined reactions, such as the Haber process, and fluid-medium reactions, such as drug-receptor interactions or protein-protein interactions, thus serve as models of human life, in which molecules move or react along paths of minimum free energy. Human molecules, as they form bonds, e.g. marriage, friendship, community bonds, weak ties, etc., and break bonds, e.g. divorce, friendship dissolutions, relocations, absent ties, etc., react according to the laws of science, particularly the laws of thermodynamics and principles of quantum mechanics. States of energy flow into and out of working or non-working coupled human chemical bonds, normally qualified by colloquial terms such as love, hate, like, dislike, and ambivalence, are quantified by exchange force functions of attraction and repulsion. Human chemistry, in sum, is the science that gives textbook answers to dominant questions such as what is love? (or is love a purely chemical reaction?), what is the morality of divorce?, or why does a person work?, etc.

Human chemistry is the study of bond-forming and bond-breaking reactions between people and the structures they form. People often speak of having either good or bad chemistry together: whereby, according to consensus, the phenomenon of love is a chemical reaction. The new science of human chemistry is the study of these reactions. Historically, human chemistry was founded with the 1809 publication of the classic novella Elective Affinities, by German polymath Johann von Goethe, a chemical treatise on the origin of love. Goethe based his human chemistry on Swedish chemist Torbern Bergman’s 1775 chemistry textbook A Dissertation on Elective Attractions, which itself was founded on Isaac Newton’s 1687 supposition that the cause of chemical phenomena may ‘all depend upon certain forces by which the particles of bodies, by some causes hitherto unknown, are either mutually impelled towards each other, and cohere in regular figures, or are repelled and recede from one another’

    Everything in this word is determined by the laws of physics.....
    chemistry is also governed by physics..Hence we r a product of PHYSICS.....

    definitely we are the products of chemistry.because we are made up of proteins which in turn made up of amino acids that contains carboxyl group(-COOH)and amino group(NH2) attached to carbon atom.there are 20 amino acids.present in different types of proteins.protein synthesis is regulated by nucleic acids i.e DNA and RNA present in every cell of body.in addition to this there are many other bio-molecules contribute to our body metabolism like carbohydrates ,lipids many other minerals and the most important is water(H2O).ATP is our energy currency known as adenosine tri phosphate.

    you are absolutely right my dear. we are the product made by protein and lipid and carbohydrade. protein is the main component of our body. nuclic acid is the main contain of DNA or cromosome.

    No, all of these things are just our way of describing phenomena we see in nature. We are not the product of chemistry, chemistry is the product of us. It doesn't matter if we can describe the physics of an object falling, it still falls. This is nature. In the absence of chemistry...we still exist.

    definitions from wikipedia to further explain:
    Chemistry - the science dealing with the composition of substances, their interactions with energy and each other
    Physics - the quantitative science dealing with matter and energy

    Not chemistry alone. It includes some physics, mathematics also. For ex., in the absence of physics, sperm wouldn't travel down and mix up with the egg to cause the chemical reaction. How many number of such sperm particles are required to cause the egg to get life depends on complex mathematical formulae... So, all these act together called nature.
