Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis, sometimes described as 'wear and tear arthritis' is more widespread. It is caused by gradual destruction over time of joint cartilage (the 'gristle' that cushions bones and prevents them from grinding against each other) and is therefore associated with the ageing process. It can be a painful and disabling condition but not everyone is badly affected. Only as recently as 1998 did evidence began to emerge that the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids could also help in osteoarthritis.
