Supplements for Interstitial Cystitis
Important Legal Disclaimer: The
information presented here is not medical advice. Treatment of
interstitial cystitis is highly individualized. Drug interactions
are becoming more common as people have access to more
over-the-counter medications and alternative options for
treatments. Individual patients may have co-existing conditions
that could be complicated by the use of “natural” treatments.
No recommendations for use or dosages are provided or implied
below. We strongly urge you to contact your physician for
information regarding any change you wish to make in your
lifestyle.

Alaven CystoProtek
Cystoprotek is made
with anti-inflammatory properties glucosamine, quercetin
and rutin to help reduce bladder damage and pain, and
glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronate
sodium help replenish the damaged glycosaminoglycan
(GAG) protective layer in the bladder. Chondroitin
sulfate is one of the main components of cartilage and
mucosa layers, forming the connective tissue that holds
muscles, nerves, and blood vessels together. Sodium
hyaluronate is another component of protective tissue,
including the GAG layer of the bladder, and is essential
in the rebuilding process.

L-Arginine
- 500mg
Research studies have found that L-Arginine has been helpful in the
reduction of some IC symptoms. In 1999, a double-blind study using
1.5 grams of arginine for three months in a group of women with
interstitial cystitis, reported considerable improvement compared
with the effect of a placebo in a variety of indices.

Desert
Harvest Aloe
One of the most researched supplements created
especially for IC patients!
Each
Desert Harvest aloe vera capsule contains 600 milligrams of freeze-
dried aloe vera from the whole leaf and contains 200 mg. of
mucopolysaccharide (MPS), the active ingredient in the aloe plant.
This is 'cold processed'. All of the water and most of the fiber has
been removed. It is not a laxative, as the aloin and aloe emodin is
removed.
In a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial in IC patients,
87% of participants received relief from at least one symptom of
their IC and 50% received relief from all or most of their symptoms.
Only one patient did not respond within 30 days.
