An oxidizable metal ion, such as ferrous ion in the form of ferrous sulphate, and an ascorbate, such as ascorbic acid, have a synergistic effect on cartilage development. Therapeutic compositions comprising an oxidizable metal ion and an ascorbate are therefore useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The addition of a glucosamine, such as glucosamine hydrochloride, to the composition has a further synergistic effect on cartilage production. Therapeutic compositions comprising an oxidizable metal ion, an ascorbate and a glucosamine derivative are even more useful in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
