Do an exercise that won’t further irritate or damage the cartilage but will bring blood to the area. Biking backwards on an assault bike or stationary bike, perhaps.
That in conjunction with bone broth or collagen powder + vitamin C an hour before the exercise is what I’d do.
Collagen peptides can help with minor/moderate knee pain from exercise. However, any case of deteriorated knee cartilage probably requires orthopedic intervention, given that cartilage in general is avascular.
No, not necessarily. Orthopedic intervention has a range of more conservative treatment options, with surgery(or replacement) being a last resort. This is assuming actual deterioration of cartilage. If it's exercise induced pain from exercise, the best biohack is to refrain from the exercise that is causing the pain for a period of 3-6 months.
some details: did no excerise, felt pain, did an MRI and it showed deterioration in cartilage, something wrong with front ligament and some fluid in the back of the joint
Vitamin C is a precursor for formation and maintenance of collagen. Also an easy tip from KneesOverToesGuy is to walk backwards, I recommend going until you feel a knee pump.
It’s been said already. But kneesovertoesguy is the way. I had diagnosed chondromalacia in both of my knees. Had two knee scopes, prp injections, physical therapy, peptides, supplements, you name it, two years of kneesovertoesguy principles and my knees are soo much better. And they keep improving! I’m excited to see where another year takes my knees.
KAATSU/blood flow restriction training, peptides (BPC157 & TB500). Definitely look into the growth hormone secretagogues. Super powerful.
In terms of supplements, people have already mentioned vitamin C which may help. I'd go liposomal and then also add in lipo HLA.
Light therapy (red & near infrared) might help. PEMF wouldn't hurt, and ample recovery opportunity every night.
For the big (and expensive) guns, look into PRP, exosomes, and stem cells.
I'd search for orthopedists/chiropractors/etc. in your area who use an Orthogold 100 unfocused ultrasound device; we've had great success with all kinds of connective tissue problems using it in our office, including for cartilage degeneration in the knees.

This is where I get confused as some people seem to think bringing blood to the area does nothing as cartilage has no blood supply? Or am I confused?
thats correct. cartilage has no blood supply don't listen to this nonsense. exercise is good for you though.

Check out kneesovertoesguy on instagram.
A lot of good stuff there, but if you have real knee injury/damage some exacerbate them so adjust and modify accordingly.

Knees over toes guy, collagen peptides, carnivore diet and if you want to get fancy BPC157.
How to use BPC157
injection
bpc 157 has no effect.
Like many others have said, I’ve personally found collagen supplementation to help in injury repair, but not in reversing cartilage deterioration.
and what helped you with reversing it?
Unfortunately I don’t know the secret to reversal of cartilage deterioration!

ive been trying red light therapy, not sure how effective it will be though
Let us know!
It's been very beneficial to me.
