Amazon.com Product Description
Interstitial Cystitis (IC), also called Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS), is as bad as it sounds. While there is no known cure for this disorder, CystoProtek can help reduce bladder damage and pain, improving the overall symptoms in patients with IC/PBS. 
An all natural oral dietary supplement in a soft gel capsule. | 
CystoProtek is a clinically tested supplement that does not require a prescription. | Clinically Proven Effective
IC/PBS is a chronic inflammation of the bladder that occurs more in women, but also affects men. Varying from fairly mild to extremely painful, symptoms can include urinary urgency, urinary frequency, nocturia and pelvic pain. The Interstitial Cystitis Association reports that recent data indicates there are more than 700,000 cases of IC in the U.S. For the hundreds of thousands whose lives are significantly impaired due to pain and the need to urinate excessively, CystoProtek was demonstrated in two clinical studies to be effective in reducing the pain and symptoms of IC patients. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
This natural oral dietary supplement comes in a soft gel capsule form. 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 muscosa layers, forming the connecive 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. Extracted from the saphora plant, rutin is a non-acidic natural flavonoid that adds additional anti-inflammatory qualities and liberated quercetin in the intestine, making absorption easier. CystoProtek is not a cure for IC. At this time, there is no known cure for the condition. Additionally, it is important to understand that CystoProtek is not an analgesic. It may take three to four months to offer a relief of symptoms. In clinical study Cystoprotek was well tolerated by patients ingesting 4-6 softgel capsules per day for 4-6 months.

 CystoProtek for IC March 3, 2010
Cathy L. Kirkes (Selma, CA)
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?
 Cysto Protek Has Been a Life Saver for Interstitial Cystitis February 20, 2010
Barbara J. Zarrillo (Langhorne, PA)
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!
 Not Sure But Worth The Price February 7, 2010

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.
Good Product February 1, 2010

Cystoprotek is a very good supplement to help people who suffer from chronic interstial cystitis and it has helped my cystitis symptom very much.
Very effective for IC and energy January 31, 2010
Gretchen Lloyd (manhattan beach, ca United States)
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
