I wasn't sure if I should write a review as I don't have diagnosed IC. But I feel quite positive I have a mild/ moderate case. Most of the time, my bladder and urethra feel irritated and when I have a flare-up I get this agonizing urge that I have to use the toilet immediately and the pain is unbearable. If I have a sip of red wine, one minute later, I can feel the bladder spasms.
I went a whole year of no symptoms after a particularly bad 6-month flare-up. But a few months ago, I started to feel the irritation again. I really didn't want to experience something like the last flare-up so I started googling and came across Desert Harvest.
I've been using Aloe Vera and Quercetin for about 3 weeks now. I take 2 of each in the morning and one aloe before bed. I know that's not the recommended dose but I'm very petite so wanted to start on a lower dose and work up if necessary.
During the daytime I'm now symptom-free. No pain or burning, no urgency. In fact it feels like my bladder capacity is back to what it used to be which is amazing. Weirdly even my urine flow has improved. When I wake up in the morning, I feel a slight bit of irritation but it's nothing really and it pretty much disappears instantly on taking my morning dose.
Life-changing!
Super-Strength Aloe Vera (180 Capsules)
Desert Harvest Super Strength Aloe Vera Capsules have been shown to effectively reduce symptoms of interstitial cystitis, including:
- Bladder pain

According to a 1995 Phase I double blind, placebo controlled study of Desert Harvest Super Strength Aloe Vera Capsules:
- 87.5% of patients who completed the study experienced relief of at least some of their symptoms
- 50% of patients who completed the study experienced significant relief from some or all of their symptoms and were able to return to a more normal life
Each Desert Harvest Super Strength Aloe Vera capsule contains 600mg of freeze dried aloe vera powder, obtained by processing the whole leaf, before removing the anthraquinones, water and insoluble fibre to ensure maximum benefit. Anthraquinones, including aloin, are the latex chemicals in the aloe plant that cause diarrhoea, so the removal of these means Desert Harvest capsules can be taken long term without any of the side effects often found in other brands.
Free from gluten, starch, preservatives and GMO ingredients. Kosher certified; suitable for vegetarians and vegans. ISO 9000 compliant. IC/PBS friendly.
Directions As a dietary supplement, take up to six capsules a day in divided doses. Drink 8 ounces of liquid with each dose. May be taken with or without food. While some people notice benefits right away, it may take up to 3 months for you to see a significant change. We recommend that you take Desert Harvest Super Strength Aloe Vera Capsules for at least three months in order to give them a fair trial. |
Ingredients Each capsule contains: 600mg of freeze-dried, organic aloe vera powder; 20mg of calcium carbonate (to raise the pH of the aloe); and 3mg of silicon dioxide, a naturally occurring earth mineral (as a drying agent). |
