Menopause brings hormonal shifts that affect more than just hot flashes. For women also managing bladder health or interstitial cystitis (IC/BPS), these changes can feel even more overwhelming. Desert Harvest now delivers a new standard in women’s health: the first supplement combining Effera™ human bioidentical lactoferrin with our patented Super Strength Aloe Vera (SSAV).

Unlike bovine lactoferrin used by competitors, Effera™ is precision-engineered to be identical to the lactoferrin in the human body. The result?

• Better absorption & bioavailability
• No immune reactions
  Superior safety & compatibility for women’s health needs
  
  

How it Supports Menopause

• Estrogen Balance: Works with estrogen receptors to ease hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
• Bone & Immune Strength: Stimulates bone-building cells and calms inflammation to counteract estrogen decline
• Iron & Energy: Helps improve iron absorption to reduce fatigue from heavy cycles or low iron.

How it Supports IC & Bladder Health

• Microbiome Balance: Encourages healthy Lactobacillus growth, supporting vaginal and bladder comfort.
• Anti-Inflammatory Action: Reduces bladder stress and immune-triggered inflammation.
• Urinary Protection: Helps maintain a healthy vaginal pH, lowering risks of irritation or infection.

Human Bioidentical Lactoferrin vs. Bovine Lactoferrin for IC/BPS

Why it matters: Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein in the body that helps regulate inflammation, fight pathogens, and support mucosal healing—including the bladder lining.

Human Bioidentical Lactoferrin

• Bioidentical match: It’s structurally identical to the lactoferrin your own body makes, so it’s easier for the body to recognize and use.
  
• Gentle on the bladder: Because it’s human-identical, there’s less risk of introducing animal proteins that may cause irritation in sensitive IC/BPS bladders.
  
• Targeted support: Provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that may help protect and repair the bladder lining.
  
  

Bovine (cow-derived) Lactoferrin

• Not identical: While it shares similarities, bovine lactoferrin is not an exact match to human lactoferrin.
  
• Allergen risk: As a cow-derived protein, it carries a higher risk of triggering immune responses or irritation in sensitive patients.
  
• Less efficient uptake: The body may not utilize it as effectively as the bioidentical form.
