Research into possible link between substance and osteoarthritis in the Netherlands

According to a Dutch news source, research is being conducted into an everyday substance that may potentially help prevent osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a common joint disorder affecting millions of Dutch people. The source does not provide further information on what the exact substance is or how it might work.
It is unclear whether this is a scientific study, a hypothesis, or a preliminary finding. The source does not mention who is conducting the research or at what stage it is. Details about any results or evidence for the alleged effect of the substance are also missing.
Osteoarthritis often arises from wear and tear of the cartilage in joints, but other factors such as age, obesity, and injuries also play a role. According to experts, it has not yet been proven whether a single substance can influence this. The source emphasizes that this is a possible relationship, not a proven solution.
