Below is a science-based, joint-supporting recipe (not a miracle cure), explained clearly.
🦴 The Truth About Cartilage
-
Cartilage has no direct blood supply
-
It repairs slowly
-
Nutrition helps by:
-
Reducing inflammation
-
Supporting collagen production
-
Protecting existing cartilage
-
Consistency matters more than speed.
🥗 Best Nutrients for Knee Cartilage
These actually help:

Sulfur compounds → cartilage strength
-
Antioxidants → protect joints
