As we get older, our joints
and cartilage deteriorate.2
With osteoarthritis (OA), the most common type of arthritis,
there is gradual wear and loss of cartilage in the joints causing
friction between the bones, which leads to pain and swelling. 2
Increased pain and stiffness limits the movement of the joints
and affects the type of activity we are able to do. 3
Healthy cartilage keeps your joints flexible, allowing you to
return to the activities you love, such as walking, climbing
stairs, swimming, running, and even the simple joy of picking
up your grandchild! 3
