Is osteoarthritis just “wear and tear”? New research says there may be more to the story.

Studies are revealing a surprising link between the gut microbiome and joint health.
People with osteoarthritis often have gut imbalances that increase inflammation, oxidative stress, and cartilage breakdown.

What scientists are finding:
✅ Microbial DNA has been detected inside cartilage
✅ Different bacteria are linked to more or less joint damage
✅ Inflammation-triggering molecules like LPS can worsen OA
✅ Certain probiotics may reduce pain and protect cartilage

A 24-week human study using Lactobacillus casei showed less pain, less stiffness, and lower CRP inflammation levels in knee OA patients.

While more research is needed, the gut-joint axis may open new doors for osteoarthritis prevention and treatment—beyond painkillers and “wear and tear.”
