How it works
Reduces mechanical loading on weight-bearing joints directly proportional to weight loss. Also reduces systemic adipokine-driven inflammation that contributes to cartilage degradation.
Weight loss of 5–10% body weight produces meaningful pain reduction in knee OA. Combine with supervised exercise for best outcomes. Rapid weight loss can reduce muscle mass — maintain protein intake.
Getting started
