Yes, glucosamine and chondroiton are the two supplements you need and used in combination will grow cartilage and repair the same.

The knee, unlike most other joints can stretch and squatting for long periods will stretch the joint adding up to three inches in height.

Sometimes known as Giraffe knee caps principle this method is used by Sumo wrestlers and American pro footballers to enhance their height.

Not a good idea if you are into most other sports as enlarged kneecaps cut down on the flexibility of the knee joint.

Do we have cartliage in your arm?

We all have cartilage at the tips of our growing bones but as we get older and stop growing the cartilage has mainly disappeared. This growing process is generally completed by the time we are 25 years old. Babies and young children would have a larger amount of cartilage than a teenager. Adults have cartilage in their ears and nose.

Cartilage. That's why your knees are such excellent shock-absorbers.


What are function of cartilage?

Cartilage acts as a cushion between joints, to prevent the bones from rubbing against each other (such as the cartilage in the knees and elbows) and also reduces friction in the joint with movement. It also holds some bones together, such as rib cartilage. Cartilage also forms bone when you are growing - the ends of your long bones (arm and leg bones) are formed of cartilage when you are young, and this gradually changes into bone and grows longer. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle. Cartilage is also the only body tissue that never stops growing! Look at some very old people and you will see that the end of their nose and their earlobes are bigger than yours - this is because those areas are made of cartilage and keep growing all of your life.
