Customer Reviews of Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count BottleCustomer Review: This product REALLY works and did so rapidly FOR ME (Others may take longer to respond) Summary: 5 Stars
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!!
Description of Cystoprotek Soft Gel Capsules, 120-Count BottleB000YD01QG 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.
