In osteoarthritis, the cartilage in the knee joint gradually wears away.

Sesame seeds are an excellent source of manganese and calcium, both of which help your bones grow healthy and strong.

Calcium also plays a role in nerve signal transmission, muscle movement, blood vessel function, and hormone release. Other vitamins and minerals found in sesame seeds include Phosphorous.
