Our Clinical Studies

Desert Harvest is committed to scientific research and is the first company to discover the connection between Interstitial Cystitis / Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) and the pain-relieving benefits of Super-Strength freeze-dried aloe vera.

Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera Capsules 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 Interstitial Cystitis (IC) / Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS); sometimes referred to as non-bacterial prostatitis in men and chronic pelvic pain in women.

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 capsules 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 IC symptoms.

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

The survey also examined the amount of time it took for patients with 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.

''I don't usually write testimonials, but I did have to tell everyone what a great product Desert Harvest is. I started having IC problems about three years ago, thought it was recurrent bladder infections and saw a urogynecologist who diagnosed me with IC. His nurse practitioner turned me on to Desert Harvest. I was in such misery for a few months, and then when I started taking the aloe vera, it just resolved the issue. I still have to monitor what I eat and drink and avoid spicy foods, but this has just been a wonderful success story for me.''

''Aloe Vera has been a blessing! I've been in horrific pain from my IC and found this product and I feel like I can live my life again. If you have IC don't hesitate for a second on purchasing this product. I've been taking it for 2 years now and it works better than the expensive medicine the doctor prescribed.''
