Grape consumption may offer benefits for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis

Adding grapes to diet resulted in less pain related to activity

Fresno, CA – New research presented last week at the Experimental Biology conference in San Diego, California, suggests that regular grape consumption may help alleviate pain associated with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee, and improve joint flexibility and overall mobility. Researchers attribute these potential benefits to the polyphenols found in grapes.
