If you’ve noticed more joint pain and stiffness as you’ve gotten older, you may be overlooking a critical cause that most people don’t realize can affect joint health: hydration (or lack thereof).

Some of the primary ingredients in products that support joint health are carbohydrate and protein complexes known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Along with sulfur compounds, GAGs form a thick gel-like liquid that supplies cushioning, lubrication, shock-absorption and nutrition to the cartilage in our joints. But keep in mind, they are primarily only the matrix or framework, much like a sponge. For the sponge to be “full” and “cushiony,” it needs to be filled with water.
