Boswellia has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine and in recent years has become a common additive to joint health supplements because of its ability to reduce inflammation. There are no serious side effects associated with boswellia consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hyaluronic Acid: <\/strong>One of the main components of the body\u2019s synovial fluid \u2013 the substance that keeps joints lubricated and allows them to move pain free. Hyaluronan or HA, as it is also called, has been used in the treatment of cataracts, osteoarthritis, and mouth sores. HA is naturally occurring within the body and there are no known side effects related to its consumption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Turmeric:<\/strong> A spice that is most famous for giving curry powder its distinctive flavor that has also been used in Ayurvedic treatments. There are very few clinical studies that exist about the medicinal applications of turmeric, however it has shown some anti-inflammatory properties. Some side effects that may be associated with turmeric consumption include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Stomach upset<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Nausea<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Vomiting<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Diarrhea<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Abnormal heart beat<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Gallbladder problems<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Bleeding problems<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>UC-II Collagen: <\/strong>Finding collagen on the label of a joint health supplement is a somewhat complicated issue. Collagen is fundamentally important to joint health, as it\u2019s the main building block of our body\u2019s cartilage. The problem is that ingesting collagen does not necessarily increase your body\u2019s collagen production. Collagen gets broken down in the stomach, like anything else, and while it may be slightly beneficial for overall wellness there is no direct linkage with consuming collagen and improved joint health.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Click here to see our experts\u2019 rankings of the best joint health supplements currently on the market.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Beneflex Quality of Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Beneflex <\/strong>has a somewhat limited nutritional palate. It contains two ingredients that our experts rate as highly effective for treating joint discomfort, one ingredient that may or may not be effective, and one ingredient that is known to be ineffective as a joint health treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Hyaluronic acid is strongly recommended by our team for its ability to provide natural help for the body\u2019s cartilage and synovial fluid. Boswellia has shown abilities to fight inflammation and has few drawbacks as an additive, so it is also recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Too little is known about turmeric for our panel to recommend it as an additive. It may be a functional anti-inflammatory agent, however there are a number of side effects that have been linked to it in for short-term consumption, and there is no data available about the safety of long-term consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Collagen is often a warning sign that a supplement or nutrition company is not particularly trustworthy. Since collagen does not really improve collagen health if a supplements company still chooses to use it then one must be forced to conclude that either they don\u2019t have access to that data, or they do and they are ignoring it in an attempt to take advantage of consumers\u2019 ignorance. It is difficult to read into the motivations for why <strong>Beneflex<\/strong> still chooses to use collagen as one of their few ingredients, however the implications are not good.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, some of the most basic additives found in almost all of the effective joint supplements currently on the market are not included in <strong>Beneflex\u2019s<\/strong> blend. There is nothing in the pills that actually increases collagen production, benefits skeletal health, or perform any number of other functions that even the cheapest over the counter supplements will usually help with.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Follow this link to see the list of the safest and most effective joint health supplements currently available over the counter.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of Beneflex <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Despite the limited range of their ingredients, <strong>Beneflex <\/strong>is still amongst the most expensive over the counter supplements that you\u2019ll find on the market. They do not sell their product through their own website, however the links that they provide to other online distributors list its price in this range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1 30-count bottle (one month supply) of <strong>Beneflex<\/strong>: $49.99<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means that once shipping and handling is factored in <strong>Beneflex <\/strong>costs nearly $2.00 a day \u2013 well over the average price for joint health supplements and more in line with what you would expect to pay for a nutritional supplement formulated for extreme athletes or people with serious health conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">To see which joint health supplements performed the best in our team\u2019s independent trials, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of Beneflex<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The company that makes <strong>Beneflex <\/strong>is known as Direct Digital LLC, a company that manufactures health and wellness supplements for a variety of uses.

There are some positive accounts about their effectiveness out there, but there are also far more one- and two-star reviews for <strong>Beneflex <\/strong>than most supplements receive. Some common complaints were similar to these:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDon\u2019t believe their advertising \u2013 this product does not work at all, let alone within the seven says they said it would.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDid nothing for me. Maybe it would work for others, but I feel like I just wasted a bunch of money.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cBeneflex\u2019s website says that they have no side effects but within 30 minutes I started feeling short of breath and my heart was beating like crazy. This lasted for hours and I never took it again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most common complaint online was the product\u2019s ineffectiveness, however there were also issues with its cost, the customer service when attempting to receive refunds, and there were multiple accounts of side effects echoing the review above.<\/p>\n<p><a
