A four-ingredient formulation designed for people living with interstitial cystitis — built around lactoferrin, chondroitin sulfate, L-arginine and L-citrulline, and nothing you don't need.
Interstitial cystitis (IC), also called bladder pain syndrome, can bring pressure, pain, urgency and frequency that quietly reshape your days and nights. Many people spend years cycling through diets, routines and products before finding what helps.
We built placidic around a simple idea: a short list of well-studied ingredients, each with a clear purpose, at meaningful amounts — so you know exactly what you're taking and why.
Each component of placidic was selected for a specific role — supporting the bladder's protective lining, a balanced inflammatory response, and healthy circulation to the tissues.
A naturally occurring, iron-binding protein found in milk and in the body's own secretions. Lactoferrin is studied for its role in immune defense and in helping maintain a balanced inflammatory response.
A glycosaminoglycan (GAG) — the same family of molecules that forms the protective mucous layer lining the inside of the bladder. Supporting this GAG layer is a central focus of IC research.
An amino acid the body uses to make nitric oxide (NO), a signaling molecule that helps smooth muscle relax and supports healthy blood flow. Lower NO activity has been reported in some people with IC.
Originally discovered in watermelon, L-citrulline is converted by the body into L-arginine. It's absorbed efficiently and helps keep arginine — and nitric oxide production — elevated for longer.
Chondroitin and lactoferrin focus on the bladder's protective lining and inflammatory balance, while the arginine–citrulline pair works as a team: arginine delivers an immediate supply for nitric oxide, and citrulline replenishes it over time.
Take the recommended serving with water, ideally with a meal. Consistency matters more than timing — make it part of your morning routine.
Ingredients that support tissue and lining health work gradually. Most people commit to at least 8–12 weeks to get a true sense of how they feel.
Keep a simple symptom journal alongside your diet and routine, and share it with your healthcare provider to build a plan that works for you.
Fewer interruptions.
More long walks, full nights, and plans you don't cancel.
"I love that there are only four ingredients and I actually understand what each one is for. It's become part of my morning without a second thought."
— Sarah M."After years of piecing together separate supplements, having chondroitin, arginine and citrulline in one place is so much simpler."
— Jenna R."Easy to swallow, no weird aftertaste, and nothing in it that bothers my bladder. My doctor was happy with the ingredient list too."
— Dana K.Not all supplements are created equal — and too often, what's on the label isn't what's in the bottle. That's why we prioritize sourcing the highest-quality, pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, so every capsule delivers the same dose, every day, for consistent and reliable relief.

placidic is designed for adults living with interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome who want a focused, transparent supplement to add to their routine. It's meant to complement — not replace — care from your healthcare provider.
Everyone is different. Because the formula focuses on supporting the bladder lining and circulation, we recommend taking it consistently for at least 8–12 weeks.
Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement, especially if you take blood pressure medication, nitrates, PDE5 inhibitors or anticoagulants, as L-arginine and L-citrulline can affect blood flow.
Lactoferrin is derived from milk. It is highly purified and very low in lactose, but placidic is not suitable for people with a milk protein allergy.
