What is Natures Plus Triple Strength Ultra Rx-Joint?
Joint pain and stiffness as a result of degeneration of the cartilage that protects the joints are one of the most common complaints among older people. For many years, people believed there was nothing that could be done – that the inflexibility was inevitable. But today, there are many joint health products on the market that are formulated to prevent, delay or relieve the symptoms associated with aging or damaged joints. This is our review of one of them, Natures Plus Triple Strength Ultra Rx-Joint Tablets.
Most of the available joint health products on the market that contain three keys ingredients – Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Natures Plus Triple Strength Ultra Rx-JointTablets, however, is somewhat different. In addition to the three biggies, it contains a number of other ingredients which, it is claimed, add even more oomph to the tablets’ efficacy. These include Celadrin, a proprietary blend of esterified fatty acid carbons. which has been shown to have beneficial effects on joint health.
While most of the ingredients in this product are synthetic, it also includes natural products such as Vitamin C, Manganese, and Black Cherry extract. We provide more information on these below.

Dosage
As a dietary supplement, you should take two tablets twice per day – four tablets. The manufacturers recommend that if you want “extra strength” results, you should double the dose and take four tablets, twice daily (eight tablets).
What Is The Cost
The average price we have seen for this product is $35.90 for a bottle of 120 tables. This is quite pricey as, at 8 tablets a day for the “extra strength” solution, you would require two bottles per month.
Larger packs are available, but these tended to work out to be more expensive – so when buying, you should do your calculations carefully.

Our Final Review Of Natures Plus Triple Strength Ultra Rx-Joint
Natures Plus Triple Strength Ultra Rx-Joint Tablets contains a broader spectrum of ingredients that are purported to boost joint health and this may give it an edge.
However, we couldn’t quite understand why the manufacturer claims that this is a triple strength formulation as we have found several other joint health products which offer a higher dosage of the three key ingredients – Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM, particularly when consuming the standard maintenance dose of 4 tablets daily.
Nevertheless, the inclusion of ingredients such as Vitamin C, manganese, Celadrin and Black Cherry may enhance the efficacy of the main ingredients, but you will have to pay a pretty steep price for this.
