Answer:
The website for Vital 3 Joint Solution (Bronson Laboratories), which provides undenatured type II collagen in a liquid form, claims the product is "clinically proven to promote joint health, mobility and comfort." However, most of the research used to support this claim appears to be unpublished, and the research studies that have been published focus specifically on its use for rheumatoid arthritis, rather than other types of joint pain. Additional clinical research suggests that undenatured type II collagen (although not specifically Vital 3) can provide modest benefit in osteoarthritis and other forms of joint pain, but at doses much higher than provided by Vital 3.

June 26, 2023I had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis. After reading the articles here regarding Vital3 I started on it. I was so amazed as all the stiffness, the lack of walking down stairs was gone. I have so much flexibility in my knees now and it was immediate. My Orthopedic doctor was so amazed she copied all the information on her cell phone. I will always use this product. I am back in the gym and exercising my lower body again.
I have no financial interest in this product.

February 27, 2019I have used Vital3 for about 6 years. Prior to using it I could not squat without pain nor could I rise from a squat without pulling myself up using a counter or table. Within the first 2 weeks of using this product my knee pain was practically non-existent and I now rise from a squat position easily. I am a 71 year old female with osteoarthritis.

April 28, 2016I have osteoarthritis and have been taking Vital3 Joint drops for several months now. It does not stop the most painful joint issues, but it does affect my overall stiffness. I experience more flexibility of movement generally since beginning the drops, which improves my day quite a bit.

April 27, 2016I use Great Lakes Collagen Hydrolysate per instructions on can. It is essential to control my damaged lower disc and damaged left knee pain. It is my educated guess that taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin with low collagen will not show much efficacy. MSM is also needed in some cases to improve joint pain.
