PACs are the only Active Compound in cranberry supplements for UTIs you should be looking for.

Cranberries: A Long-Standing Ally for Urinary Health
Native to North America, cranberries have been used for centuries to support bladder and kidney health.¹ Despite their long history, the efficacy of cranberry-based dietary supplements can vary widely depending on the quality and scientific validation of the ingredients used.

The challenge is selecting the right cranberry ingredient to meet modern consumer demands and preferences. To ensure efficacy, five critical criteria must be considered in developing cranberry-based urinary health products.

Five Key Criteria for Successful Product Development

1. Species Confirmation
   Research on cranberry's urinary tract health benefits overwhelmingly supports one specific species: Vaccinium macrocarpon. Selecting this well-researched species ensures stronger scientific support for your product's efficacy. Additionally, guaranteeing the purity and quality of Vaccinium macrocarpon helps eliminate the risk of adulteration and reinforces consumer trust.
2. Standardization to Active Compounds
   Consistency is key. Cranberry products are often standardized to their proanthocyanidin (PAC) content—phytoactive compounds known to support urinary tract health. While PACs may not be the sole active constituent, they are widely recognized as a marker for cranberry efficacy. Standardization ensures consistency in quality across harvests, batches, and doses, providing consumers with reliable results.
3. Measurable Activity
   A key success factor for cranberry products is the ability to deliver measurable activity that supports urinary tract health. Ensuring the ingredient meets this criterion increases the likelihood of market success and builds consumer confidence in the product's efficacy.
4. Product-Specific Clinical Studies
   Clinical research is the gold standard for dietary supplement validation. Choosing an ingredient backed by product-specific clinical studies that demonstrate its ability to support urinary tract health ensures higher quality and credibility. Published research in peer-reviewed scientific journals further distinguishes the ingredient and builds trust.
5. Approved Health Claims
   Health claims approved by regulatory authorities, such as the U.S. FDA or Health Canada, provide additional assurance that an ingredient delivers the benefits consumers seek. While not all jurisdictions allow health claims, approval in one region indicates rigorous scientific review by a third party, reinforcing the ingredient’s credibility.
