Type-A Proanthocyanidins (A-PACs)

What Are They & How Do They Help?

Type-A Proanthocyanidins (A-PACs) are a specific type of flavonoid found in cranberries.

The specific mechanism in which A-PACs help support urinary tract health is through their anti-adhesion activity; it’s more difficult for the bacteria to adhere to the cells lining the urinary tract and bladder, meaning the bacteria are more likely to be flushed out, creating a healthier environment.

There is well-documented research on cranberries and A-PACs and their role in urinary tract health.

Each Fermented Cranberry Exact pill contains 100mg of Type-A Proanthocyanidins (A-PACs).

Fermentation Benefits

Prior to our 30:1 ratio extraction process, our cranberries undergo a 96-hour fermentation, which has multiple benefits.

Research shows that fermentation increases the amount of beneficial micro-organisms and bioactive substances, such as phenolic compounds, amino acids, and antioxidants.

Fermentation can also improve the bioavailability of the supplement and the body’s ability to better absorb it.

Other Health Benefits

In addition to Type-A Proanthocyanidins (A-PACs), cranberries are an antioxidant-rich source of bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonols flavan-3-ols, and phenolic acids, which are linked to numerous health benefits.
