Calcium is essential for healthy bones, heart, nerves, muscles, immune health, and cell growth. In clinical trials, Calcium Glycerophosphate was shown to reduce the acidity of foods and drinks by 95% which helps decrease digestive discomfort. Combining our organic, super-concentrated Aloe Vera with the Calcium Glycerophosphate may help your body absorb more of the nutrients. Desert Harvest Calcium Glycerophosphate supplement is bladder-friendly and easy on the stomach.
Physical activity and adequate intake of calcium throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may support bone health.
Calcium can constipate, so it is suggested to take equal amounts of Magnesium to Calcium to promote bowel regularity.
If you find that our Super-Strength Aloe Vera Capsules bother your stomach or causes indigestion, take one Calcium Glycerophosphate to help alleviate discomfort.
If you have impaired kidney function, you should talk with your doctor before beginning a calcium or magnesium supplement regimen. The levels of these minerals in your bloodstream are controlled by your kidneys.
All Desert Harvest supplements are gluten-free, bladder-friendly, and contain no fillers or artificial ingredients. We follow strict Good Manufacturing Practices and are cGMP compliant.
INGREDIENTS: Each serving (1 capsule) contains 230 mg of Calcium Glycerophosphate, 40 mg of organic Aloe Vera powder, and a trace amount of silicon dioxide as a drying agent (a naturally occurring earth mineral)

Why Calcium Glycerophosphate Works Better
How It Neutralizes Acidity
CGP binds excess acid molecules in food and beverages before they enter your digestive system, reducing their impact on your urinary tract and stomach. Clinical studies show up to 95% acid reduction.
Why It's Better Than Antacids
Unlike Tums or Prilosec that work after acids cause damage, CGP works preventatively. It doesn't interfere with digestion or cause rebound acid production—a common issue with traditional antacids.
The Aloe Vera Advantage
Each capsule contains 40mg of Desert Harvest's patented organic super-concentrated Aloe Vera. This enhances nutrient absorption and provides additional support for mucosal barriers in your bladder and digestive tract.
When and How to Use
Take one capsule with trigger foods or drinks—15-30 minutes before eating or with your first bites. Perfect for dining out, holiday meals, morning coffee, or enjoying wine without worry.
Understanding IC Trigger Foods
Living with IC/BPS means navigating a complex landscape of trigger foods. Coffee, wine, citrus fruits, tomato-based dishes, chocolate, and carbonated beverages are among the most common culprits that can cause bladder discomfort and pain.
Calcium Glycerophosphate works by buffering the acidity of these foods before they reach your digestive system, reducing their impact on your bladder by up to 95% in clinical studies. This allows you to occasionally enjoy your favorite foods without the same level of discomfort.
Use our free IC Food Tracker to identify your personal triggers and monitor how CGP helps you manage them.
The Science Behind Acid Reduction
Understanding pH Levels in Common Foods
The pH scale measures acidity from 0 (most acidic) to 14 (most alkaline). Your bladder prefers a more neutral environment, but many everyday foods and drinks fall into the acidic range. Coffee typically measures around pH 5, tomatoes pH 4.3, and citrus fruits can drop as low as pH 2-3. When consumed, these acids can irritate sensitive bladder tissue in IC/BPS patients. Calcium Glycerophosphate buffers these acids, raising their pH closer to neutral before they impact your urinary tract. Clinical studies demonstrate up to 95% reduction in food acidity when CGP is taken with meals.
Purity, Quality & Organic SSAV
Desert Harvest Calcium Glycerophosphate is manufactured following strict Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and undergoes third-party testing to ensure purity and potency. Each capsule contains 230mg of highly bioavailable Calcium Glycerophosphate plus 40mg of our patented organic super-concentrated Aloe Vera (SSAV). Unlike calcium carbonate found in typical antacids, calcium glycerophosphate offers superior absorption and doesn't interfere with digestion. The inclusion of organic SSAV enhances nutrient uptake while providing additional support for mucosal barriers in your bladder and digestive tract. Our formula is gluten-free, bladder-friendly, and contains no fillers or artificial ingredients.
Trusted by the IC/BPS Community
For over 30 years, Desert Harvest has been the trusted choice for IC/BPS patients seeking natural relief. Our commitment to quality, purity, and efficacy has earned us the loyalty of thousands of customers who rely on our products for daily bladder and digestive support. Calcium Glycerophosphate represents the perfect complement to our flagship SSAV product—where SSAV soothes and protects the bladder lining directly, CGP manages dietary triggers before they become a problem. Many customers report that using both products together provides the most comprehensive IC management strategy, allowing them to enjoy a fuller, less restrictive diet while maintaining bladder comfort.
Calcium Glycerophosphate vs. Traditional Antacids
Studies show CGP's buffering action reduces food acidity without digestive interference. Unlike traditional antacids that may cause rebound acid, CGP works preventatively.*

Your Questions Answered
How is this different from Tums or other antacids?
Calcium Glycerophosphate works preventatively by buffering acids before they enter your digestive system, while antacids like Tums neutralize acid after it's already in your stomach. CGP doesn't cause rebound acid production or interfere with digestion—common issues with traditional antacids. Plus, each capsule includes 40mg of organic SSAV aloe for enhanced absorption and mucosal support.
Can I take this every day?
Yes, CGP is safe for long-term daily use. Unlike traditional antacids that aren't recommended for extended use, CGP is a dietary supplement designed to support your body's natural functions. It provides essential calcium for bone, heart, nerve, and muscle health while helping manage dietary acidity.
Will this help with my IC/BPS symptoms?
Many IC/BPS patients find CGP helpful for managing trigger foods. By reducing acidity by up to 95%, it allows you to occasionally enjoy foods like coffee, tomatoes, citrus, and wine with less discomfort. The included organic aloe supports bladder mucosal health. For comprehensive IC support, pair with SSAV aloe capsules.
What foods and drinks work best with Cal Gly?
CGP is ideal for common trigger foods: coffee, tea, wine, citrus fruits, tomato-based dishes, chocolate, carbonated drinks, and vinegar-based foods. Take one capsule 15-30 minutes before consuming these items, or with your first bites. Check out our IC Diet Guide for a complete list of trigger foods.
Can I take this with SSAV?
Absolutely! CGP and SSAV work beautifully together. SSAV provides direct bladder soothing and mucosal support, while CGP helps manage dietary acidity. The small amount of aloe in CGP (40mg) enhances absorption without replacing your SSAV regimen. Many customers use both for complete IC management.
Does this cause constipation like other calcium supplements?
Calcium can affect bowel regularity. We recommend taking equal amounts of Magnesium alongside Calcium to support healthy bowel function. Our Desert Harvest Magnesium pairs perfectly with CGP for this purpose.
How quickly does it work?
CGP begins buffering acids immediately upon contact with food in your digestive system. Most people notice reduced discomfort within 30-60 minutes when taken with trigger foods. For best results, take it 15-30 minutes before eating or with your first bites.
Is this safe for long-term use?
Yes, CGP is designed for long-term daily use as a dietary supplement. It supports essential bodily functions (bone health, muscle function, nerve transmission) while helping manage dietary acidity. Consult your doctor if you have kidney concerns, as kidneys regulate mineral levels in your blood.
