Posts claiming that “a 97-year-old orthopedic surgeon discovered a food that rebuilds knee cartilage in 24 hours”are not supported by scientific evidence.
Cartilage is a specialized tissue that has a very limited ability to repair itself. No food, supplement, or homemade recipe can regenerate damaged knee cartilage in one day. If it could, it would be a major medical breakthrough.
However, certain foods can help support overall joint health as part of a balanced diet.
What Causes Knee Pain?
Knee pain may result from:
- Osteoarthritis
- Previous injuries
- Overuse
- Tendon or ligament problems
- Excess body weight
- Inflammatory arthritis
The appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause.
