Collagen
Collagen is a protein found in cartilage and other parts of the body, such as tendons, ligaments, organs, and skin.
It participates in the strength and elasticity of tissues, and is another way to recover knee cartilage.

To produce more collagen, in addition to collagen supplements, it is important to consume foods rich in magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C.
Acupuncture

Although cartilage is not vascularized, nourishing the peripheral areas is extremely beneficial in its recovery.
Remembering once again that the use of all the supplements mentioned above is not a substitute for a consultation with your knee orthopedics specialist in Goiânia, he can probably prescribe some of them.
