FAQ

Q: Can't I just take an over-the-counter pain reliever?

A: Most over-the-counter solutions over only temporary relief. They mask the underlying problem and offer a short-term solution. However, many of them not only slow the body's healing process, they may actually contribute to the degradation of your natural joint cartilage. That means that over time, they can make your problem worse! Vital 3 works with your body to naturally alleviate joint pain and promote flexibility.

Q: I don't have arthritis. Can I still use Vital 3 for my "wear and tear" joint pain?

A: Yes, we recommend you give Vital 3 a risk-free trial to see if it helps your joint pain, like it has for thousands of others with and without an arthritis diagnosis.

Q: How does Vital 3 work?

A: Through a mechanism called oral tolerance, Vital 3 is absorbed through the small intestine, where it stimulates the production of specific regulatory T cells. These regulatory cells react only with synovial tissue — the tissue that contains and lubricates your joints. When these T-cells encounter synovial tissue, they cause it to produce general anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta. These cytokines suppress inflammation in joints, resulting in reduced pain and swelling, and increased healing. In the end, Vital 3 creates a chain reaction that produces natural and powerful anti-inflammatory agents directly in your joints — with no side effects!

Q: What side effects might I experience?

A: None — there are no side effects, safety issues, or allergies associated with the use of Vital 3. Users of Vital 3 have reported no side effects, and 10 human clinical studies have shown no known side effects or negative drug interactions. Across all 10 studies, there was not a single adverse event reported. Vital 3 is completely natural and designed to support your body's own repair processes.

Q: Will my doctor think Vital 3 is a good idea?

A: The only way to know is to ask. Show your doctor this website. Or have your doctor call our toll-free customer service line at 1-888-9-VITAL3 with any questions or concerns. Physicians may be interested to know that more than $45 million was invested in Vital 3 research, including 10 human clinical trials. The trials proved that Vital 3 is safe and effective, and the FDA specifically cleared Collagen Type II-n1 (the active ingredient in Vital 3) as a dietary ingredient in December of 2000. You and your health care professional can feel comfortable adding Vital 3 to your daily health regimen without any concern for how it will impact other supplements of medications you are taking.

Q: How is Vital 3 regulated?

A: Vital 3 is regulated as a dietary supplement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA requires product claims to be truthful, not misleading, and supported by clinical trials (scientific studies).

Q: Where does Vital 3 come from?

A: It is manufactured from Collagen Type II-n1, derived from chicken cartilage in a sophisticated process covered by 24 patents. Read more about our proprietary process here.

Q: How do you ensure the purity, safety, and high quality of Vital 3?

A: Vital 3 is distributed and sold by Bronson Nutritionals, a trusted, physician-recommended vitamin and nutritional supplement brand. Since 1960, Bronson has been providing families with the highest quality products and customer service there is to offer. We are proud of our accomplishments and we thank our customers for helping us stay on top as an industry leader for more than 50 years. Every one of our supplements is formulated, manufactured, and packaged in our state-of-the-art facilities according to the most stringent quality control procedures, ensuring product consistency in potency, purity, and integrity.

Q: How long do I need to take Vital 3 to see results?

A: Based on clinical trials (studies in humans), you will need to take Vital 3 as directed for about six weeks to begin to see results. Chronic administration is required to maintain the therapeutic benefit — that is, if you get results from Vital 3, you will need to continue taking it indefinitely to continue to see these results.

Q: When will I start to notice a difference?

A: Vital 3 goes to work immediately, assisting your body's natural repairing and rebuilding processes. But since everyone's joint health is different, some people notice a difference within the first week, while other people first see benefits after three or four weeks. That's why Vital 3 is backed by our 365-day guarantee. Put Vital 3 to the test today. And if you don't feel Vital 3 has changed your life for the better, simply return the unused portion within the next year for a full refund.

Q: What is the Vital 3 guarantee? How do I get my money back if it does not work for me?

A: Vital 3 is backed by a 365-day, risk-free, money back guarantee. That means you can try Vital 3 for up to a full year. If you have taken Vital 3 as directed and you're not convinced that it has changed your life for the better, simply return any unused portion for a full refund (less shipping) — no questions asked. Due to the unique way that Vital 3 works in the body, we recommend taking it for at least six weeks before determining if it has worked for you.

Q: It's been two weeks and I haven't seen a difference. Can I return the product for a refund?

A: Yes, but we recommend taking Vital 3, as directed, at least six weeks before determining if it has worked for you. The unique mechanism of Vital 3 often takes more than two weeks to affect joint pain levels, and it is common for users to feel relief from joint pain by the six-week mark. We think the potential for joint pain relief is worth the wait!

Q: Will Vital 3 have an effect on the collagen in my skin, hair, and nails?

A: No, Vital 3 should not have an effect on skin, hair or nails.

Q: If three drops work well, wouldn't six drops work even better?

A: Actually, no. You should not decrease or increase the dose of three drops per day, as the dose has been proven to be crucial to see an effect (see Figure 3). Over the course of 10 human clinical trials, researchers found that just three drops is the ideal dose for halting the joint destruction process, rebuilding cartilage and restoring your flexibility, mobility and overall comfort. It also means, when used as directed, each bottle of Vital 3 lasts up to six full weeks!

Q: What if I forget to take a dose?

A: If you forget to take your drops for a day or two, do not increase your dose on subsequent days. Simply start up again with three drops per day. If you go for more than a week without taking Vital 3, you may notice your joint pain returning to previous levels. If you choose to reintroduce Vital 3 to your daily regimen, start back up with the regular dose of 3 drops a day, and soon you should start to feel the level of relief you felt before.

Q: Is it harmful if I accidentally take too many drops in a day?

A: No, it is not harmful, but it also is not beneficial to take more than 3 drops daily. Using anything other than the standard dosage of three drops per day, over time, has been shown to significantly decrease the effect of Vital 3 (see Figure 3). The precisely calibrated, consistent low dose has been proven to be crucial to see an effect.

Q: Can I add Vital 3 to food? Can I add it to a smoothie?

A: No, studies have shown that, for best results, Vital 3 must be taken on an empty stomach. Take it with a cold liquid such as juice or water — or straight from the dropper bottle — when you first wake up, at least 10 minutes before eating breakfast.

Q: What does Vital 3 taste like? Will it ruin my morning OJ?

A: Vital 3 is flavorless, colorless and odorless. You can mix it in with your favorite juice or even into a glass of water — you'll never know it's there. But as the days and weeks pass, you'll have the proof you're looking for. When you step out of bed, turn a doorknob, walk down stairs — even hit the dance floor or hit some golf balls. Vital 3 can help relieve stiffness and discomfort, and promote flexible joints.

Q: Can I take Vital 3 with vegetable juice? Carbonated drinks? Alcoholic drinks?

A: We do not recommend taking Vital 3 with any beverages other than water or fruit juice, simply because those are the beverages that were used in the clinical trials.

Q: Can I take Vital 3 if I am pregnant or nursing?

A: Women of childbearing age who intend to become pregnant, or who are pregnant or nursing (breastfeeding), should consult with their physician before taking any supplement or medication.

Q: Can I take Vital 3 if I am allergic to chicken or eggs?

A: Because of Vital 3's sophisticated manufacturing process, you can still safely take it even if you have an allergy to chicken or eggs. However, you should consult with your physician before taking any supplement or medication.

Q: Is Vital 3 kosher? Is it halal?

A: No, Vital 3 is not kosher or halal.

Q: Can my child use Vital 3?

A: Yes, Vital 3 was shown to be effective in clinical trials with children who have been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). Children need to follow the same dosing regimen. If you are considering Vital 3 for your child, be sure to discuss it with your pediatrician.

Q: Is the dose the same for people of different ages, genders, or weights?

A: Yes, the dose is 3 drops per day, used as directed, regardless of your age, gender, or weight.

Q: Does Vital 3 come in pill form?

A: No, Vital 3 is available only as a liquid solution because of its proven dosing mechanism (3 precise drops), and is available without a prescription.

Q: What if my bottle of Vital 3 gets cold or frozen?

A: Vital 3 is not adversely affected by cold. If the liquid inside the bottle becomes frozen, simply let it thaw at room temperature until it returns to liquid form. However, do not let Vital 3 get too hot. Keep the dropper bottle stored in an area that cannot reach a temperature of 113°F (45°C). Do not add Vital 3 to any hot beverages such as hot coffee, hot tea, or hot chocolate (cocoa).

Q: Can I take Vital 3 with my other medications?

A: Vital 3 is made of a very specific form of collagen — the natural building block of joint cartilage. It is clinically designed to work with your body and should not interfere with any other medications that you're taking. But as with any other nutritional supplement, you should check with your doctor before taking Vital 3.

Q: What if I'm already taking glucosamine and chondroitin?

A: Glucosamine and chondroitin have worked for many joint pain sufferers. And like Vital 3, they work together to naturally build joints, ease stiffness and improve mobility. But glucosamine and chondroitin don't address the body's immune response — a less widely known cause of joint destruction. If you notice a benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin, Vital 3 could be a perfect complement to your joint health efforts. And if glucosamine and chondroitin have not given you the results you're looking for, then a risk-free trial supply of Vital 3 just might be the solution.

Q: Does Vital 3 contain any glucosamine or chondroitin?

A: No, Vital 3 does not contain any glucosamine or chondroitin. Vital 3 contains only biologically active peptide fragments of Collagen Type II-n1, plus distilled water and diluted acetic acid.

Q: Can I take glucosamine or chondroitin while I take Vital 3?

A: Yes, you may take Vital 3 with any other prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, or supplements you may be taking for joint pain or other conditions. There have been no problems (contraindications) shown with taking Vital 3 with glucosamine, chondroitin, or any other drug or supplement. Glucosamine and chondroitin have worked for many joint pain sufferers. And like Vital 3, they work together to naturally build joints, ease stiffness and improve mobility. But glucosamine and chondroitin don't address the body's immune response — a less widely known cause of joint destruction. If you notice a benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin, Vital 3 could be a perfect complement to your joint health efforts. On its own, Vital 3 delivers everything you need to help repair joints, ease stiffness, and improve mobility. But it also works in harmony with glucosamine and chondroitin — some people find that the combination actually enhances their joint-soothing abilities. And if glucosamine and chondroitin have not given you the results you're looking for, then a risk-free trial supply of Vital 3 just might be the solution.

Q: Does Vital 3 contain shellfish?

A: No, Vital 3 does not contain shellfish, a common ingredient in glucosamine.

Q: Does Vital 3 contain MSM?

A: No, Vital 3 does not contain MSM (methylsulfonylmethane or dimethyl sulfone).

Q: Can I purchase Vital 3 at my local pharmacy?

A: No, Vital 3 is available only through the mail.

Q: Do I need a prescription to take Vital 3?

A: No, Vital 3 is a dietary supplement, and therefore is available without a prescription.

Q: Why is Vital 3 clear (colorless)?

A: We wanted to maintain the purity of Vital 3. We did not want to add anything, such as color, that had the potential to irritate the body.

Q: Will my doctor think Vital 3 is a good idea?

A: The only way to know is to ask. Show your doctor this website. Or have your doctor call our toll-free customer service line at 1-888-9-VITAL3 with any questions or concerns.
