Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count Bottle

Anita's Cystoprotek Review - Anita D. Jones "Anit on Apr 27, 2008 I Like

I have been dignosed with Interistitial Cystitis recently, as of January 2008. It is also referred to as painful bladder spasms. I refused the bladder instillations due to intolerance of the procedure related to pain. I was started on Elmiron three times a day. This made my hair fall out and therefore had to decrease the dose to once a day. I heard about Cystoprotek through the IC-Network. I bought it and tried it. Three days later, I started feeling better and by 2 weeks I could hardly tell that I had this awful disease. Thanks Amazon for selling this medicine.

Great For IC Sufferers - Shelly S. Watson Har on Mar 18, 2008 I Like

I have IC and I have tried everything and I decided to try this instead of the prescribed medicine Elmiron. I could tell a difference within a couple of weeks. I will say, that it makes you go to the bathroom alot for an hour after taking it and then after you are fine, so I would not suggest before bed or before leaving for a trip. I am really impressed and the difference in taking this and the prescribed medicine is that it repairs the problem instead of masking it. I will continue to buy this product.

No Longer Have To Take Anything Else For My IC - Mrs L from Atl "MrsL on Jun 27, 2008 I Like

Have had IC for 3+ years now. Did bladder infusions and elmiron for 18 months+. Found Cystoprotek - what a difference!! Now I take nothing else at all, and the awful urethral pain and belly tenderness is completely gone. Have been on Cystoprotek for over a year now, absolutely zero side effects for me. This stuff is awesome.

This Stopped My Pain - Wendy Bradford on Jul 8, 2009 I Like

I took Cystoprotek for about 6 weeks and my IC pain and urination burning went away. I felt so good that I quit taking it, and 3 weeks later was in pain again. I started it again right away and along with the prelief have been in much less pain. I think I will be very careful about stopping it again and be a regular customer for awhile. While I was feeling well, I still had twinges now and again and I think I will listen to my body more carefully the next time. Cystoprotek is a miracle in my book. I did a lot of research on it and would highly recommend it,...and I am pharmacist.

Cysto Protek Has Been A Life Saver For Interstitial Cystitis - Barbara J. Zarrillo on Feb 19, 2010 I Like

When I was first in serious, unrelenting pain for interstitial cystitis, I learned that the quality of life for those who suffer with it is as poor as can be imagined. I was handed a very long list of foods to avoid, but was told that no good ones could be suggested. That was the message of my primary doctor and gynecologist. Having bladder pain 24/7 drove me out of my mind! And being told that analgesics and products typically good for the bladder would simply worsen the symptoms was a message I found unbearable. Very thankfully, my sister read an article about Cysto Protek, designed to actually improve and restore the bladder wall that had been destroyed, and mailed it to me. A diagram was included. I took it to my doctors and they simply concurred that it couldn't hurt me. As odd as it may seem, within one day of taking the capsules, I experienced great pain relief. Since that day more than a year ago, I have been taking the recommended dosage every day and truly don't want to be without it. All of the irritants - chocolate, sour cream, eggs - you name it - can all be tolerated well, unless I am excessive about any of them. There are still foods I try to avoid, but I experience no bladder pain at all. This product is a miracle for me and sincerely an answer to prayer. I am extremely grateful for it. I can't imagine any doctor who understands its value allowing his patients to be without it. If you are in pain, don't hesitate to try it!

Just What The Doctor Ordered... - Katherine M. Smith on Jan 6, 2009 I Like

I tell you when I went to the Dr and he told me I had this IC condition and told me that I would have to take this for the rest of my life I was a little sceptical on whether it would do anything for my condtion that I have suffered with for so long, well it was like a miracle, after about a week of taking this, I actually slept for about 5 hours before I had to get up at night...this was the first time in I don't know how long I have been about to sleep formore than and hour at a time! And the pain in my bladder had subsided also! GREAT STUFF!

This Actually Does Work. - Dr. HeatherAilein on Feb 19, 2011 I Like

Let me clarify that I am NOT a urologist. I did however graduate from medical school and sadly developed IC/PBS during my pediatric residency. I have spent a lot time researching this "disease" and it's treatments after finally being correctly diagnosed by my Ob/Gyn. The problem with IC is that no two people have exactly the same course of illness. Furthermore, we are most likely very different in our etiologies. (That's why it's sometimes called Painful Bladder Syndrome, which is Dr. Speak for we really don't know what is going on here...) For me Cystoprotek worked very well. Even much earlier than the weeks that the company says it takes to work. I don't think this is placebo but has more to do with the etiology of my pain. I think the anti-inflammatory portion (quercitin, rutin) of this product can actually work very fast if there isn't a ton of damage to the bladder wall. The GAG (glucosamine, HA, Chondrotin) rebuilders probably are what take a lot longer to get going. So for someone older or with years of damage to the mucosa, it may take some patience with this product. But for me this was a true miracle for symptoms. I wish it was a cure...but until we understand what is actually causing this, symptom control is a real blessing.

Side Effect - Lynn Harke on Mar 2, 2009 I Like

I have side effects when I take this supplement, although they are not unpleasant and after 3 weeks I have kinda gotten use to them: The effects are similar to caffine, although not as jumpy, I feel I have a "natural high", I have frequent brain fades, like it is hard for me to think. When I "come off" of cistoprotek I can definitely feel the difference. I can't tell if it has helped my bladder problem or not as I have only taken it for 3 weeks. I am going to talk to my doctor about it to see if I should still take it because it produces these side effects.

A LIFESAVER!!!!!!!! - Brian Griffin on Sep 3, 2009 I Like

I suffered for 25 years with interstitial cystitis, had surgeries and took elmiron which made my hair fall out. I tried meditation, yoga, biofeedback, birth control pills, hormones, anti depressants. Nothing helped. I developed insomnia, depression, and felt almost suicidal. Then I tried cystoprotek and within TWO DAYS I felt like a different person. I cry every time I think about the blessing I recieved from cystoprotek. I've been taking it for 3 months and I can be a good mom to my sweet 4 year old daughter now thanks to this product. If you have bladder pain PLEASE TRY THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Cystoprotek Is A Godsend! - H. Cannon on Jun 1, 2009 I Like

I have suffered from IC for over 9 years. Medical doctors seem to be mystified by it and have been sympathetic but not very helpful... prescribing antibiotics and Elmiron (awful stuff!). I've gone thru several MD's to several Holistic Drs with little relief. Changing my diet and limiting alcohol helped somewhat but I was subject to flareups at anytime. Read about Cystoprotek in a newsletter by Dr. Susan Lark. Tracked it down on the internet to Amazon. The results have been like a gift from the heavens. Pain has stopped and I feel like a normal person again. We are not all the same and it may not work like this for you, but for me it did. I also take 1 Glucosamine/Condroitin/MSM pill in the am & pm as well as drops in the pm that promote alkalizing the blood. But not much changed until I tried the Cystoprotek.

Not For Sensative Stomachs - Serene on Aug 16, 2009 I Like

I had difficulty taking this product because it irritated my stomach and pre-existing GERD. It contains glucosamine and I've never been able to stomach that either. I'm disappointed of course. But there is no point curing one condition if its going to aggravate another.

The instructions indicate those with sensative stomachs should take a lesser dose, but alas that didn't work for me. I might try it again in the future.

A Personal Miracle - SnooZQ on Dec 15, 2009 I Like

I credit Cystoprotek for giving me back a good night's sleep. Before starting on this product, I suffered from severe nocturia -- up many times per night to pee. Even with low-dosing 1 softgel/day due to tender tummy, within 3 weeks I was starting to see an improvement. For about 9 mos. straight, I took Cystoprotek daily. Since then, I've cut back to taking it a few times per week. The benefits have held.

I've also experienced a great improvement in urgency & frequency during daytime hours, and no longer experience incontence leaks. Pad liberation, yay!

One thing I especially appreciate,and that is that after I'd been on Cystoprotek for a while, I began to once again tolerate small amts of tea, fruit juice, salad dressings & acidic fruits, which before Cystoprotek triggered bouts of agonizing urinary frequency.

Thumbs up for this great product.

A Pragmantic Review - twa_corbies on Aug 11, 2009 I Like

People should be warned in listening to the ecstatic hype about this supplement. The actual website says that it doesn't begin to affect most people for at least 3 months. It takes the body a while to heal!

I only just began taking Cystoprotek and so far I haven't had any strange side effects; maybe a slight increase in heartburn, which is normal. But many of the reviews on here say they had "immediate" relief? This is very improbable as the only thing that takes away pain immediately is a narcotic. I can only attribute such enthusiasm to the placebo effect.

If you're trying out this product, please use it for the customary 3 months before before giving up all hope. There are also aloe supplements and such I would consider as well. [...]

First Good Night's Sleep In Over A Year - Jennifer Diaz on Dec 29, 2009 I Like

I have had interstitial cystitis for over a year. It wakes me up several times each night and prevents me from getting solid rest. I normally look young but dark circles and a general haggard appearance have revealed the toll the interrupted sleep has been taking on my body.

When I finally received the IC, your-guess-is-as-good-as-mine "diagnosis," I wanted to find an alternative remedy rather than take prescribed drugs that were either new and experimental, or that were known to make hair fall out. I ordered Cystoprotek along with Healthy Life Harvest Aloe capsules for IC sufferers and Prelief to help cancel out the acid in my foods.

After two and a half weeks, I am finally sleeping again. Last night I slept nine hours straight! New moms and people with IC will understand what this means to me.

My dosage has been two Cystoprotek twice a day, two or three Prelief tabs with acid-forming meals, and aloe caps three times per day. The final dosage of aloe I save for the middle of the night in case I wake up. (I was happy to miss that dose last night!)

One note of caution on the aloe - the manufacturers don't mention this but some sources recommend against taking aloe vera for more than six weeks at a time. It is believed to have a long-term dampening effect on the sexual system and libido if taken without a break. Unfortunately, I couldn't ascertain how long the break should be.

Finally, I am also avoiding foods known to aggravate IC: cranberry, tomato, citrus, coffee and tea, all of which will give me an extra-bad night, Prelief notwithstanding. I seem to do OK with some others like avocado, though. Perhaps it is individual.

I will update in a month or two. BTW, hats off to Amazon. I ordered this through their subscription program, which knocks %15 off the price and comes with free shipping - nice. But imagine my surprise when the two bottles I ordered arrived THE NEXT DAY. Overnight free shipping? Who ever heard of THAT? Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.

AMAZING - T. Roberts "chucks m on Jul 28, 2008 I Like

I almost can't believe it's true, but it has to be! I know they say it won't start working for about a month but I do declare it started working almost immediately. I started with the suggested dose but have been able to take only one a day for the past week or so. I'm still having trouble urinating sometimes but it's so much better than it was and the PAIN IS GONE~!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wish I Knew About It 20 Years Ago... - Tuck's Mom on Oct 13, 2009 I Like

I wish this product were available 20 years ago. I have been prescribed countless antibiotics over the past 20-25 years for what my urologist said were recurrent UTI's. I since have found another urologist who specializes in women's urological issues. He prescribed Alaven Pharmaceuticals Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count Bottle. I started on one capsule daily since April 2009, then increased to two capsules daily in August 2009. My "UTI" symptoms gradually have disappeared. I am using this product and a mild antihistimine at bedtime. Ladies who are diagnosed with recurrent UTI's PLEASE seek a second opinion or insist on a cystoscopy to determine if you have a condition called Interstitial Cystitis (ulcers on the bladder lining) rather than actual urinary tract infections. The antibiotics do NOTHING for IC and are not good for you to be taking over and over again. I am 47 years old and received this diagnosis in April 2009 after suffering needlessly for years. It is all about finding the right doctor. Also, PLEASE do not let your doctor tell you there is nothing that can be done for Interstitial Cystitis. That is not true. I am proof! AND! You do not be led to believe that the only way to treat IC is through medication with unsettling side effects. This product has certainly helped me, and I hope you it will help you!

Cystoprotek - H. Shuck on Feb 23, 2008 I Like

Great Product! I have used this for years, and it beats any over-the-counter medication that I have tried!

Recommed This Product - L. Sweitzer on Mar 19, 2010 I Like

This product works very well to maintain my bladder pain and discomfort. It works just as well as the expensive prescription medication for much less.

Best Price I Found. - Suzanne Mays on Jun 16, 2009 I Like

My urologist recommended replacing the glucosamine and chondroitin tablets I was taking for my arthritis with the Cystoprotek capsules instead for my IC and arthritis. I have only been on them for a little over a month so far. I can't comment much as I have not been on them that long. My IC seems to be much better ....no out breakes since I have been taking the Cystoprotek. I am only taking 2 capsules a day so far as I am very sensitive to medications, I would like to get up to 3 a day. The Cystoprotek arrived within just a few days....very quick. It seems to be working very well so far.

It Definitely Helps - Joy on Feb 11, 2009 I Like

Because of the nature of IC where it comes and goes, it's sometimes hard to tell if something is working or not - but I definitely am better when I'm taking this. I have not taken it consistently, so I think I might get even better if I took it over a long period of time. It is definitely worth adding to your arsenal of natural remedies for IC. I took Elmiron for years with no real improvement - but I noticed an improvement right away with this product. Also, the price on this website is very good.

CystoProtek For IC - Cathy L. Kirkes "cur on Mar 3, 2010 I Like

I can not take the product. I also have Fibromyalgia and have tried to take Glucosamine in the past. This product caused me to ache all over and caused burning in my stomach. I tried putting it in the freezer before taking it, but still had the same symptoms. I had high hopes so I wouldn't have take a perscription for the IC.
I plan on seeing if their is a return provision if I can't tolerate it?

Cystoprotek Did Not Help, But Something Else Did! - Ferrin Sanders on Jul 5, 2011 I Like

I tried CystoProtek in 2009 and am just now getting around to writing a review. I was hesitant to buy CystoProtek because it's expensive and there are no scientific (double-blind, peer-reviewed) studies to prove its effectiveness. But I was desperate and bought it anyway. I took it for over 4 months, but stopped because it did not reduce my bladder pain, urgency, or frequency in the slightest. In fact, it might have made it worse. Meanwhile, it was giving me mild stomach cramps despite freezing the capsules and taking them with food. I also suspected it was giving me headaches, although that was never confirmed.

I have suffered from IC for many years, although I've never had a formal diagnosis. I had a bad bladder infection as a child at age 8. That was treated and I was OK until after I got married. Then I started getting repeat bladder infections. It took me years to catch on to the fact that it was the diaphragm that was causing the infections. I learned how to prevent bladder infections from the excellent book "You Don't Have to Live with Cystitis" by Larrian Gillespie. I have not had a single bladder infection in the 20 years since reading this book. However, even after the infections stopped, my bladder felt raw for a couple more years. Slowly my bladder healed and I had some good years with only minimal discomfort. But in my late 40s my bladder pain flared up again and became progressively worse. I tried PreLief and the IC diet, but was never able to tell if they helped.

I finally found something that has helped my bladder: estrogen!
I started using estradiol in both patch and cream form (Vivelle Dot and Estrace) at age 52 for dryness due to perimenopause. Not only did the dryness go away, but my bladder symptoms quickly and dramatically improved (something I wasn't expecting). I've been taking the estrogen for almost 2 years now and my bladder symptoms continue to be under control. My bladder rarely ever hurts now, which is dream come true for me. Pre-estrogen, my bladder bothered me most of the time. Occasionally I will get a mild flare, but nothing like the agony I used to endure. I'm passing this on for the sake of other women who might be helped. Best wishes to everyone.

Great Natural Alternative For IC! - Tracy Hirsch on Jul 9, 2008 I Like

I've been using it for years and have managed to stay off all the IC meds. I do feel it if I miss a couple doses though!

Cystiorotek Helped Me - C. Ferguson on Apr 20, 2008 I Like

I have Interstitial Cystitis, and the last time I had a flare-up, I started taking Cystoprotek according to package directions: 2 capsules twice a day. I got over the flare-up, but I'm going to keep on taking the Cystoprotek because I believe it really helped.

I Would've Given It 5 Stars If It Weren't For The Price Increase! - Photo Princess on Jul 16, 2011 I Like

I've been taking this product since I was diagnosed with IC 4 years ago. Immediately, I saw improvements in my symptoms (frequency, urgency, pain). However, this isn't a cure. You still have to adhere to IC diet guidelines and stay clear of foods that you know are highly acidic and that your body will react negatively to. I've never had a problem with this product. It does have shellfish in it, so those with shellfish allergies should avoid this product. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone with IC who could AFFORD it. As another reviewer already stated, the original price was $28 amazon's subscribe & save program and has been so for the last four years. However, this month the distributer increased the price to 40 bucks without any improvements to the formula. Highly unjustified if you ask me! I'll start looking for another formula with a similar blend of ingredients that's a lot more affordable!

Price Increase - Tracy L on Jun 7, 2011 I Like

There has been no change in the product itself that I am dissatified with. There was a 45% price increase this month over last month. They kn ow you need this stuff, they get you with an attractive price when you first start ordering it then, BAM, one month out of no where they raise the price from $28 to $40. This is almost 45%. I am irritated to say the least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Stuff - J. Fisher "Smoove" on Jan 3, 2011 I Like

I figure it's time for me to write me own review instead of commenting other peoples reviews. I am 38yr old male. I have been dealing with Prostatitis and IC for years. The IC would flare up and cause my prostate to become inflamed. While the prostate swollen the bladder doesn't always drain completely causing the IC to become worse. I used to take products like flowmax for the prostate issue, but that did not help with the IC. Prelief was a lot of help for the IC and with the flowmax things stayed under control. I got tired of taking the flowmax after like 6yrs and wanted to try something natural. So I now take Zyflamend for the prostate and the Cystprotek for the IC. If your male I recommend taking both. The 2 together are a great relief and I no longer need the flowmax or the prelief.

Zyflamend 1 capsule 3 times a day and Cystoprotek 2 capsules twice a day.

Heaven Sent - painbegone on Nov 19, 2010 I Like

I've had interstitial cystitis for years and suffered so much. Finally after searching online I found Cystoprotek. It was formulated by an urologist and it works! I started taking 2 tabs-2 x's a day and began to feel better in a matter of days. Wow, what a change in my life. I now take 1 to 2 tabs a day and I am doing fine. I even have been able to eat some of my "trigger" foods without any flares. The only time I flare is when I fail to take my Cystoprotek for several days. It really does seem to coat and protect the lining of the bladder. I hope you get relief from this product too!

Cystoprotek - Kathy "Kathy" on Jun 22, 2010 I Like

I beleive this product has helped in healing the gag layer of the bladder, however I also believe an IC diet is crucial to the healing process. I have used a Certified Nutritionist who suggested another supplement, X-Viromen. This product helped on the cellular level by boosting the immune system. There are many variables in the healing process of IC patients and every body is different. Don't give up, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

This Product REALLY Works And Did So Rapidly FOR ME (Others May Take Longer To Respond) - S. Falcone on May 15, 2010 I Like

I have a moderate case of i.c. I am not in pain if I stay on my ridiculously limited diet. I go to the bathroom 15 or more times a day. If I deviate an iota, and I mean an iota (a bite of chocolate, a bite of berry pie, etc.) I will be in a lot of pain.
This product works. I had tried prescription drug Elmiron, DMSO cocktails, Tibial Nerve Stimulation, instillations of sodium hyolaronate, all did nothing!
This worked from the first I took it (I took it with a little chocolate, so sue me : ) ), making the reaction to the chocolate much milder than it would usually have been. I have been taking it about a month. It also has a cumulative effect, like Elmiron does for people for whom it works.

I am editing my original review to include this paragraph, because I see that it takes many (or even most) people weeks to months to see any improvement. I felt really bad when I read that, because I thought "Oh no. I hope they didn't give up because I said it helped me right away!" It did help me right away and continues to be extremely helpful, but it seems that the rapidity with which I responded to it is not the norm. Also, when I say it is an improvement, that's what I mean! It's not a cure! I still have i.c., Cystoprotek makes it much milder, but I definitely still have i.c.

I have also tried competing over-the-counter remedies, with no success (one made me worse).
So, if you have i.c., and it is not under control w/ Elmiron, etc., or even if it is, I HIGHLY recommend this product!!!

One caveat: It can make one slightly nauseous. Only a small number of users of Cystoprotek seem to have nausea, but I am one of them. I spoke to Alaven and they said put the 2 capsules in the freezer for 30 minutes before taking them w/ food. This, admittedly is a pain in the you know what. But, it apparently slows the entry of the Cystoprotek into your system and does ALMOST completely get rid of the nausea. I still have a tiny bit, but it seems to be going away w/ time.
I said can't I just put the whole bottle in the freezer and take out capsules as needed and they were emphatic that, no, I could not. It apparently negatively affects the product to be frozen for long periods. This is the only part of using the product that I do not like. But to have found something that really and truly works (and is slowly letting me eat more like a normal human being!!), I can hardly get over it!!

Helped With My IC Frequency - Rachel R. Colon on Dec 14, 2009 I Like

I have had my IC symptoms for several years. My main symptom is frequency. I only get severe pain when I have a UTI. I tried drugs like Detrol and Vesicare, but none of those helped at all. I hesitantly asked my doctor if he could write me a prescription of Elmiron, though I dreaded filling it because of the bad side effects I have heard about. Before I filled it, I went on the IC Network to see if there was anything else I could try and read about Cystoprotek. Since it was all natural and didn't require a prescription, I figured I had nothing to lose. I have been taking it about 3 months now and my frequency has improved a lot. I'm hoping if I keep taking it, that my recurrent UTI's can lessen due to the bladder wall healing from the Cystoprotek. Right now I'm taking antibiotics everyday, so it'd be nice to eventually stop taking those so often. But so far I really like the Cystoprotek and haven't noticed any negative side effects. I definitely plan to keep taking it.

REALLY WORKED FOR ME - I.C. GINNY on Dec 10, 2009 I Like

AWESOME! - Mavipixy "Mavipixy" on Oct 13, 2008 I Like

I was recently diagnosed with IC, I thought I'd had recurring UTI's for a few years. My symptoms were pelvic pain, frequent and little urination, with a lot of urgency. My doctor first prescribed me Elmiron, which I can not afford, and then an anti-depressant for chronic pain, which I chose not to go on- because I didn't feel like I was in chronic pain enough to take it to that level. This product claimed to actually treat the problem- the inflammation of the bladder. I have been using this for about 5 months, and I am very satisfied. I still have slight flares, but it is basically a drastic difference from what I was having. Changing my diet a bit and taking these pills has made it like a I almost don't have this disease anymore. The best part is that it is all natural-- AND not $1,000 every 3 months like Elmiron if you don't have health insurance. Try it!

My Prayers Have Been Answered!!!! - Amy Bade Pappas "Amy on Dec 25, 2011 I Like

I was told by my Urologist that I had Urethritis and that it would resolve on its own. Over a couple of months I started to have bladder spasms and sleepless nights getting up four or more times at night to urinate. My doctor said he thought it was progressing towards IC. I started reading all about IC and began to feel hopeless and afraid. There seems to be no cure. I started to avoid all the trigger foods and found some relief. Still I would have episodes now and then that would bring me to tears. I read about this product on the IC Network and found it here on Amazon. I was afraid to try it but after reading all of the reviews I felt so encouraged.
I started taking them and started to feel relief right away, as the days go by it gets better and better. I still watch out for trigger foods and have purchased a Toddy cold coffee brewer that reduces coffee acid by 67%. I am able to have my iced latte now. That is what I missed the most, that and my precious sleep.
I prayed so hard for an answer and my prayers were heard and answered, Cystoprotek has given me my life back.
If you are suffering from IC please give this a try.
I pray you find your answer too! -Peace

WONDERFUL PRODUCT! - Rebecca Shedd "B" on Jul 6, 2011 I Like

I had excruciating pain from IC that not even demerol and morphine were touching. This product, in conjunction with replacing my beneficial bacteria and marshmallow tea has taken away ALL my symptoms. Please, do yourself a favor, restore the lining of your bladder wall, rather than mask the symptoms with treatments like elmiron and pain medications! It's what your body is screaming for!

I have been using Cystoprotek for over a year to control my interstitial cystitis. I used to be extremely happy about every single aspect of this supplement, but I absolutely refuse to cater to a $20 increase. It is the same product, a great product, but FORTY SEVEN??? when it used to be TWENTY SEVEN!!! That's extremely disrespectful! I am going to talk to my doctor next week about an alternative to this. I already cancelled my subscription and will not be buying again until the price goes back to what it used to be.

Made Me Too Jittery - J. Medina on May 17, 2010 I Like

I was very hopeful to try this product as I have had IC for about 20 years. Unfortunately, the side effects were too much for me to tolerate - after only taking one pill. A few hours after just one pill I felt like I had drank 6 cups of coffee and my neck felt really sore. I also felt really constipated at bed time. The next morning I had a slight numb feeling in my mouth and felt kind of out of it. Maybe this was all related to something else, but the only thing I did different was take that one Cystoprotek pill. I am very dissapointed that this remedy did not work for me and I am too fearful to try it again since I need to be alert because I have 3 small children to care for. I certainly hope this works for other people though because it is an awful condition that really reduces one's quality of life.

Not Sure But Worth The Price - noctuavirtue "Sam De on Feb 7, 2010 I Like

Red capsules (somewhat large), certified potency (FDA) and reviews of how it has helped real IC patients. That's enough for me to continue taking it even when my IC isn't nearly as bad as most. The pain from a flare is maddening and trust me you NEVER know how bad something is until it's happening. Being a 28 year old male the last urologist I saw said he could do nothing and told me to avoid trigger foods, thanks docs. I'll stick to this for now. Does it work? Well... it may, it differs from person to person I suppose, but is it worth the risk not to take it? I'd rather stay on it than risk not taking it and find myself in a worse position in a year.

Very Effective For IC And Energy - Gretchen Lloyd on Jan 31, 2010 I Like

Cystoprotek was recommended by my urologist for Interstitial Cystitis. It has helped a great deal plus its side effects seem to be greatly increased energy. I researched all the ingredients and they are all natural and good for the body. I have even recommended it to my family and friends who don't have IC!!! Gretchen

This Product Has Helped Me Tremendously - Donna Thompson on Oct 3, 2009 I Like

I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis 3 years ago. It was after a hysterectomy and I had been catheterized during the surgery. The pain went on for several months. I went to a urologist and they did a surgical treatment which helped but also wanted to put me on a medication that had really bad side effects. Some of the side effects of the doctors meds was extreme tiredness and that my hair would probably fall out. I was not ready for that. I found this product and decided to try it. In just a few days, I felt relief. If I skip taking this product a couple of days, I notice that I will start to have some flair ups with my bladder. If I take it regularly, I feel really good. It has not caused me any side effects. I would highly recommend this product.

I.C. User - C.K. "C,K." on May 17, 2009 I Like

As an I.C. sufferer, this product has really helped me with my condition, I've been using it since 2005 daily. I even had the previlege of meeting one of the inventors of this product, a Dr. who knows I.C. I would recommend to any I.C. sufferer, try this product with Elmiron or in lieu of Elmiron.

Very Good Product !!! - Maria De La Martinez on Apr 9, 2009 I Like

My mother has been trying this product for 1 year, but since she try it the first 3 months she really feels better.

She was trying other pills, but it was very expensive, so we find Cystoprotek and she say it really works the same, but we don't have to expend a lot of money to make my mom feels good.

Cysto-Protek - J. Merritt on Mar 30, 2009 I Like

This was the lowest price I could find Cysto-Protek online. Our local pharmacies had not heard of it. I used 5 days of samples my Dr gave me while I waited for my order to arrive, and in the "in between" time, I could really tell that these capsules helped control my IC. I'm so glad I didn't have to resort to Elmiron with all it's unfortunate side effects.

Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules - Tawanya L. Dunlap "T on Nov 10, 2008 I Like

CystoProtek is a very good product and is helping me to heal my entire urinary tract. I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of pain relief and the re-building of the lining of their urinary tract. It does not prevent kidney stones, but helps to heal where the stones scratch inside the kidneys thru the bladder where the stones scratches. I have also learned that sorbic acid will dissolve the stones wherever they are in the tract. Mine look like stickers that we in West Texas call goatheads.
