Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are a subclass of polyphenols called flavonoids. They are found in many plants, including cranberries, grapes, apples, and berries.

The PACs in cranberries are special because they have a unique A-type chemical structure. This is different from the more common B-type PACs found in most other foods like grapes or chocolate. It is this unique A-type structure that is thought to be key to cranberry's most famous health benefit: preventing bacteria from sticking to surfaces. This is the primary mechanism by which cranberry PACs help prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Benefits of cranberry extract powder

1. Prevention of urethral infection.

The most unique effect of cranberry is that it can effectively prevent urethral infection (UTI). 80% to 90% of urethral infection is caused by Escherichia coli. Scholars at home and abroad have studied the mechanism of this function for many years. Early people always thought that various acidic substances in cranberry can increase the acidity of urine in the bladder and form a strongly acidic environment that kills E. coli in the urethra.

2. Anti-Helicobacter pylori.

Cranberry contains proanthocyanidins, ellagic acid, phenolic acid, resveratrol and other substances, with antibacterial effect.
Many studies have shown that cranberry can inhibit the infection of Helicobacter pylori and is effective in preventing gastric ulcer, gastric cancer and duodenal ulcer.

3. Antioxidant.

Flavonoids in cranberry have antioxidant function in vivo and in vitro, especially flavonol and proanthocyanidins have preventive effect on atherosclerosis.

4. Prevent cardiovascular disease.

Cranberry contains a variety of flavonol compounds, such as hyperin, penthydroxyflavone, myricetin and so on, which tog with anthocyanin determine the color of cranberry fruit. Flavonol has strong antioxidant activity, can inhibit the oxidation of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, reduce the level of triglyceride in blood, and help to promote cardiovascular health.

5. Protect the mouth and teeth.

Studies have found that substances extracted from cranberry juice can break down the flora in the mouth, especially Streptococcus mutans in saliva, which can cause dental caries and plaques, thus protecting teeth.

6. Lower blood pressure.

The low sodium and high potassium properties of cranberry make it have the effect of lowering blood pressure. Studies have found that cranberry juice can promote vascular endothelial cells to produce nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. This helps explain how blueberries can help promote healthy blood pressure levels.
