Magnesium and Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common rheumatic disease. It affects the moving parts of the body. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage between the bones deteriorates. The cartilage becomes thinner and softer. With this reduced quality of cartilage, the bone directly beneath it can become deformed. Visible knobs can develop, which cause significant pain by compressing the nerves. Ultimately, osteoarthritis affects not only the cartilage but the entire bone structure.
