You may have seen social media posts claiming that drinking one glass of a homemade drink daily for 14 days can eliminate knee pain or “repair” worn joints. While certain foods contain nutrients that support joint health, there is no scientific evidence that any single drink can cure arthritis or permanently relieve knee pain in two weeks.
That said, a drink made with anti-inflammatory ingredients can be a healthy addition to a balanced diet.
Why Do Knees Hurt?
Knee pain can have many causes, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Muscle strain
- Bursitis
- Gout
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Excess body weight
The most effective treatment depends on the underlying cause.
