What osteoarthritis is

The most common form of arthritis, involving gradual breakdown of joint cartilage over time. It most often affects weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips and the spine, as well as the hands.

Common symptoms

  • Joint stiffness, particularly after rest or in the morning
  • Discomfort during or after movement
  • Reduced range of motion
  • A grating sensation or sound with joint movement

Risk factors

  • Age
  • Excess body weight
  • Previous joint injury
  • Genetics
  • Repetitive joint stress from certain occupations or activities

Where nutritional support fits

Alongside medical management, weight control and appropriate exercise, some people use joint nutrition supplements as part of a broader approach. None of this replaces diagnosis and management by a doctor — see the MedlinePlus osteoarthritis overview for a neutral clinical summary.
