Supplements
Desert Harvest is committed to scientific research and is the first company to discover the connection between Bladder Pain Syndrome (also known as Interstitial Cystitis) and the pain-relieving benefits of super-strength freeze-dried aloe vera.
Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera supplements have been shown to effectively reduce bladder pain, urinary frequency, urinary urgency and urethral burning that are a part of many bladder disorders, but especially in Bladder Pain Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis) and sometimes referred to as non-bacterial prostatitis in men and chronic pelvic pain in women.
Double-blind placebo controlled study
According to a 1995 Phase I double-blind, placebo-controlled study with The Urology Wellness Center in Rockville, Maryland, Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera supplements showed the following results:
- 87.5% of patients who completed the study received relief from at least some of their symptoms
- 50% of patients received significant relief from all or most of their symptoms and were able to return to a more normal lifestyle.
- Only one patient did not respond within the first 30 days
In 2002, Dr. Kristene E. Whitmore M.D. published Complementary and Alternative Therapies as Treatment Approaches for Interstitial Cystitis citing Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera among the nutraceuticals effective for managing the symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
Patient survey
Based on a 2016 survey, 660 Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera customers responded:
- 92% of patients self-reported that they ‘experienced relief’ with concentrated oral aloe vera.
- 63% of patients reported substantial improvement in urgency and frequency of urination
- 69% of patients reported substantial improvement in pelvic pain
- 68% of patients reported substantial improvement in urethral burning
Time to improvement
The survey also examined the amount of time it took for patients with Interstitial Cystitis (IC) to see the benefit of oral aloe vera treatment.
- 30% of patients saw benefit within the first two weeks
- 56% of patients saw their improvement within the first month of treatment
- Approximately 25% of patients saw improvement between 1 and 3 months
- Only 18% did not respond within the first three months of those, 12% eventually saw benefit from continuing the course of treatment.
While Desert Harvest offers nutritional supplements and skincare to remedy a broad list of issues today, their story begins with the foundational passion to support those suffering from Interstitial Cystitis (IC).
Desert Harvest supports the Bladder Pain Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis) community with the highest quality Super-Strength Aloe Vera. They have done the research and surveyed over 50,000 Bladder Pain Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis) customers to know what works for them, in what dosage, and how long it takes to feel the positive effects.
Based on the recommended Bladder Pain Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis) dosage of 3600 mg per day, many brands are not affordable in the long run, although they initially seem so. Some brands have so little Aloe Vera per capsule that it would require you to take up to 72 capsules per day.
Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera capsules have the highest concentration of 100% organic freeze-dried aloe per capsule with no fillers, anthraquinones, or insoluble fiber, so you only need 6 per day. Desert Harvest is the most affordable and effective aloe for Bladder Pain Syndrome (Interstitial Cystitis).
When comparing with other brands it is important to consider the following important information:
- How many milligrams of pure aloe vera nutrients are contained per capsule?
- How many capsules would be needed to achieve the recommended 3600mg daily dose?
- Do other brands use any fillers or artificial ingredients?
- Are other brands organic and non-GMO?
- Do other brands filter out anthraquinones, which are carcinogens and irritants found naturally in aloe vera to cause diarrhoea?
