claiming collagen supplements regrow an entire layer of worn cartilage.
If someone chooses to use a supplement, realistic expectations are important. Exercise, appropriate weight management, sleep, nutrition, and medical care remain part of the bigger picture.
A Joint-Friendly Breakfast Instead
Rather than grinding eggshells, you can use the egg itself as part of a nutritious meal.
Try a simple breakfast containing:
1–2 eggs;
leafy greens or bell peppers;
whole-grain toast;
plain yogurt or another calcium-rich food;
fresh fruit such as berries, kiwi, or orange.
This provides protein, vitamin C, minerals, and other nutrients useful for overall musculoskeletal health without requiring an unconventional homemade supplement.
Don’t Forget Vitamin D
Calcium receives plenty of attention, but vitamin D is also important because it helps the body absorb calcium and contributes to normal bone and muscle function.
Vitamin D can come from sunlight exposure, certain foods, fortified products,and supplements when appropriate.
