It is also a significant part of our synovial fluid, which is the viscous substance that surrounds our joints and provides the lubrication and cushioning that is required to prevent the pain and irritation of bone-to-bone contact. Collagen is also an important part of our skin, ligament, and tendon tissues and makes up about 25% to 30% of the body\u2019s proteins in total.<\/p>\n<p>Given all of that, it seems only natural to assume that collagen would be one of the best ingredients for a joint health supplement. That is not the case, however, because that is not the way that the body processes the substances that it ingests.<\/p>\n<p>Collagen is a complex protein chain that is formulated in the body in a complicated process that combines amino acids, peptide chains, vitamin c, and other basic bodily minerals to form solid-state tissue.<\/p>\n<p>If that type of solid tissue is ingested, our body goes about breaking it back down into its component parts. The collagen is digested in our stomach and its proteins are separated back into their individual chains. The amino acids are also separated out, as are the various other minerals and usable chemicals, and then they are all redistributed throughout the entire body.<\/p>\n<p>The reason that glucosamine and chondroitin are so effective is because they are the chemicals that naturally stimulate the collagen manufacturing process. They help the body\u2019s ability to provide and repair its own collagen rather than misguidedly attempting to directly ingest collagen and have it travel straight to your ligament tissue. You can no more eat collagen and have it become a part of your cartilage than you can eat a piece of bone and have it become part of your skeleton.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that some small percentage of the nutrients ingested as part of a collagen supplement would go toward joint tissue manufacturing, but it would be a miniscule and imperceptible amount. Collagen is safe for human consumption and there are no side effects related to its ingestion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Click here to see the list of all the leading joint health supplement brands according to our panel of experts.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Vital 3<\/strong><strong> Quality of Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Modern joint health supplements have literally hundreds of options of effective ingredients to choose from. Glucosamine and chondroitin are popular for their roll in the collagen, cartilage, and synovial fluid production process. Anti-inflammatories like Boron and MSM are popular because of their ability to reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness in old and damaged joints. Vitamin C, manganese, and Omega-3 fatty acids all contribute to basic joint function and overall wellness.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the existence of all of these safe, tested, and effective options, <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>has chosen instead to utilize only collagen, a solution that has been clinically proven to be inefficient at addressing joint-specific concerns.<\/p>\n<p>It is exceptionally rare that a company would only utilize collagen in their joint health blend, but it is still frequently seen on the ingredients panel of less-reputable supplements for several reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The first explanation of why a company might use collagen in their blend is simple ignorance. It is possible that they genuinely have not seen any studies on the effects of collagen and believe that their product could be effective. This would be disconcerting if it were the case, as it would show a lack of knowledge about both nutritional supplements and human digestive function.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the more frequent reason that joint supplement manufacturers include collagen is that it will appeal to consumers that have a basic level of knowledge about the body. Many people have read or seen somewhere that collagen is part of cartilage and may assume it is so basic a chemical that they can just ingest it and increase their collagen levels.<\/p>\n<p>Given its lack of negative side effects and mild positive benefits there is no downside to including it, so it is seen by manipulative manufacturers as a harmless hook to get some users to purchase their products.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, if collagen is your only ingredient then there is very little reason to say that your supplement will be effective for joint support.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">To learn more about which supplements performed the best in our experts\u2019 clinical trials, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of <\/strong><strong>Vital 3<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>is sold through their website and usually retails in this range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1 bottle (6 week supply) of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>solution: $43.94<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>2 bottles (12 week supply) of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>solution: $80.93<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>3 bottles (18 week supply) of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>solution: $106.85<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1 bottle (6 week supply) of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>solution (automatic renewal program): $68.58<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is about average for most daily supplements, however many users of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>will want to add a secondary supplement to get some of the nutrients that <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>doesn\u2019t provide.

There have yet to be any charges filed in that suit, however it also bears noting that <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>has received quite a few formal complaints through the Better Business Bureau and currently have a 0% customer satisfaction rating with the independent business oversight group.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Follow this link to see which over the counter supplements our experts rated as the most effective for reducing inflammation and restoring range of motion.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Customer Opinions of <\/strong><strong>Vital 3<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>has the most negative online response of any of the many joint health supplements that our panel has reviewed. Their product currently has a 37% satisfaction rating on Amazon, about half of what even mediocre joint health supplements tend to receive. There are quite a few angry customers reporting about their experiences on different online review sites, and these reviews hit on some of the common themes:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMy radio station promotes the heck out of these guys, so I bought a bottle for myself and a couple for my elderly parents as well. None of us noticed even the slightest difference and now they make fun of me every time the ads come on the radio.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI took this to help with my arthritis, and I don\u2019t know how this is possible but it actually made my joints worse. The swelled up bigger than usual and were extra tender.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou could purchase <\/strong><strong>Vital 3, or you could just put your money in a garbage can and set it on fire. Either way your joints will feel the same.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The majority of the reviews of <strong>Vital 3 <\/strong>are customers reporting disappointment with the product, however a disturbing amount seems to mention their joint and inflammation issues getting worse. Given its limited ingredient list it is difficult to attribute that to the effects of taking <strong>Vital 3<\/strong>, however this is also not a response usually found in other joint health supplements\u2019 product reviews, so it seemed irresponsible not to mention.<\/p>\n<p>There are also quite a few reports of customers that are dissatisfied with the automatic shipment program. Many seemed to feel that they had continued to be charged for the product after cancellation and that the terms of <strong>Vital 3\u2019s <\/strong>return policies were often not honored.<\/p>\n<p><a
