madara stated he used the life force of the gedo mazou to keep himself alive. and cultivate and create the living clone of hashirama that life force was said to be so powerful that it keeps the host from dying from extraction. Kurama also noted that it has powerful life force. so all though it may have residual chakra left over from the initial extraction what it is made up of is mostly life force
