Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that connects bones, allowing the tissue to withstand mechanical stress, absorb shock, and enable connected bones to move without friction. Cartilage is particularly susceptible to wear and tear, and while the body is able to deliver some nutrients to the cartilage, cartilage injuries heal more slowly because collagen supplies decrease with age. The body is unable to deliver enough nutrients to repair the cartilage, and in some cases, cartilage damage is considered irreversible due to cartilage degeneration, making the bones more susceptible to damage, which can lead to joint pain, soreness, and stiffness.
