Desert Harvest Super-Strength Aloe Vera (SSAV) is the only patented aloe vera extract clinically studied for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS). For more than 30 years, it has been recommended by physicians and trusted by over 100,000 patients worldwide. Unlike ordinary aloe vera, SSAV is processed within 20 minutes of harvest and purified to remove anthraquinones (irritating compounds), while concentrating the bioactive polysaccharides that provide therapeutic benefit. Research has shown that these mucopolysaccharides can: Coat and protect the bladder lining by forming a soothing barrier over the urothelium. Support anti-inflammatory pathways by reducing oxidative stress and modulating cytokine activity. Enhance nutrient absorption through improved transport of vitamins and minerals across the gut wall. Help normalize urinary frequency and urgency by calming bladder muscle irritation. SSAV is available in two bottle sizes — 180 and 90 capsules — making it suitable for both long-term daily use and patients who are beginning supplementation. It continues to be the only aloe vera supplement referenced in international IC/BPS guidelines and is currently under FDA-authorized clinical investigation in the United States.
