| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| CC (Normal) | Normal | Normal GDF5 - standard joint and cartilage development. Stay active and support joints with omega-3s and adequate protein. |
| CT (Carrier) | Low impact | Intermediate GDF5 effect - modestly higher osteoarthritis tendency. Maintain a healthy weight, low-impact activity, omega-3s and collagen-supporting nutrients. |
| TT (Variant) | Moderate | Higher osteoarthritis risk. Protect joints: healthy weight, low-impact strength training, omega-3s, vitamin C and adequate protein for cartilage. |
