Ce face cu adevărat colagenul pentru articulații? De ce ameliorează, dar nu rezolvă problema? • Newsweek România

Collagen is shown to moderately alleviate knee osteoarthritis symptoms but does not repair cartilage. A comprehensive analysis of 113 studies indicates that while collagen can reduce pain and stiffness, it is not a miracle cure. The most reliable evidence supports its use for knee issues, with limited data for other joints. Many mistakenly believe collagen can regenerate worn cartilage, but it is digested before reaching the joints. Regular intake of 5-10 grams daily for at least eight weeks is recommended, but exercise remains crucial for managing osteoarthritis.
