The Role of Collagen in Knee Health
Collagen is a crucial protein found throughout the human body, especially in connective tissues such as joints. It plays a vital role in maintaining the structure and flexibility of cartilage, which cushions the knee joints.
As people age, the body naturally produces less collagen, often leading to joint discomfort, reduced mobility, and stiffness. To reduce these issues, it’s important to support the body’s ability to generate collagen, and diet plays a significant part in this process.
One simple and natural way to support collagen production is by consuming fruits rich in certain nutrients, particularly vitamin C.
This vitamin is a key player in the body’s ability to form collagen and also acts as a powerful antioxidant that shields joint tissues from damage caused by free radicals.
