CystoProtek®

CystoProtek® has been a renowned dietary supplement for over two decades, helping individuals with persistent discomfort and recurrent bladder issues, which may indicate local inflammation and problems with the bladder’s protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer. The symptoms of an irritated bladder can be so intrusive that they disrupt daily life. The constant discomfort and overwhelming urge to urinate can become a significant burden, negatively impacting even simple activities like traveling or enjoying a day out.

• CystoProtek® is FREE of artificial colors or dyes, flavors or sweeteners, casein, corn, egg or egg by-products, gluten, heavy metals, milk or milk by-products, peanut or peanut by-products, preservatives, glyphosate, salt, shellfish or shellfish by-products, soybeans or soy by-products, starch, tree nuts, wheat or wheat by-products and yeast.
• Chondroitin Sulfate: a naturally occurring complex carbohydrate is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix of many connective tissues such as cartilage and mucosa layers, that holds muscles, nerves and blood vessels together. Moreover, it repels irritating substances in urine from reaching sensory nerves.
• Glucosamine Sulfate: is found in chitin and is a naturally occurring amino sugar and is acting as a building block of cartilage as well as bladder, prostate and GI protective glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layers.
• Sodium Hyaluronate: a natural complex sugar that is the main component of protective connective tissues, including the GAG layer of the bladder.
• Quercetin: is a flavonoid and has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.
• Rutin: is a flavonoid liberating quercetin in the intestine.
• Olive Pomace Oil (Unprocessed, MicroFiltered): Unique to the Algonot™ formulations is olive pomace oil, which is instrumental in increasing the absorption of flavonoids. Contrary to competitors who use seed oils, pomace oil is unsaturated, providing the well-known benefits of Mediterranean olives.
• The flavonoids in CystoProtek® and other Algonot™ products are derived from citrus seed extract and the sophora japonica plant, unlike competitors who commonly use fava beans or peanut shells that may lead to adverse reactions in individuals with sensitivities.

Heat Warning - CystoProtek® is difficult to ship in the hot summer months. The capsules will melt if left in a hot mail box for more than 30 minutes.

If you live in AZ, NM, TX, LA, FL, MS, we suggest that you have this shipped to an air conditioned workplace OR a PO Box. Please select Priority Mail or Express Mail during the summer months. First Class is too slow and creates more risk of heat exposure and product damage.  How can you tell if your product is heat compromised upon delivery? Shake it. If you hear individual capsules moving around, it should be fine. If you hear one large lump, it has been exposed to excessive heat and should not be used.
