Ghee, a traditional form of clarified butter, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its numerous health benefits. Recent scientific studies have begun to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which ghee may support bone and joint health. This review explores the bioactive components of ghee, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2), and their potential therapeutic effects on bone density, joint lubrication, and inflammation. SCFAs in ghee can potentially improve joint lubrication and reduce inflammation. MCFAs and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) exhibit anti-inflammatory properties, modulating cytokine production and oxidative stress pathways. Vitamins D and K2 in ghee can play potentially crucial roles in calcium metabolism and bone mineralization, while vitamin A supports immune regulation and cartilage health. This review integrates traditional knowledge with contemporary scientific research, highlighting the potential of ghee as a complementary therapy for conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. By understanding the molecular mechanisms involved, future studies can focus on this field to shed a light on different effects of ghee on bone and joint health.
