Cranberries and their active ingredients

A-type Proanthocyanidins (PACs)

A-type PACs are the characteristic and specific polyphenols of the cranberry. Their oligomeric structure gives them the ability to bind to the fimbriae of E. coli bacteria, preventing them from adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. The non-adherent bacteria are then naturally eliminated during urination. This property is scientifically documented and is the primary mechanism of action studied for the urinary health of cranberry-based products. These properties are based on traditional use; EFSA claims for cranberries have not yet been officially granted in Europe.

Natural Vitamin C

Cranberries are naturally rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system (official EFSA claim).

Anthocyanins and Flavonoids

Pigments responsible for the berry's red color, with documented antioxidant properties. They contribute to the cranberry's overall polyphenolic profile.

Who are these dried cranberries for?

• People wishing to incorporate natural A-type PACs into their daily diet
• People prone to recurring urinary tract infections seeking nutritional support (in addition to medical follow-up)
• Those looking for tangy, organic dried fruits with no added sugar
• People wishing to avoid the sugar-laden cranberries found in stores

Composition

How to use them?

As a snack on their own. In muesli, homemade granola, or porridge for a dose of PACs first thing in the morning. As a topping for mixed salads (they pair particularly well with arugula, walnuts, and goat cheese). In baking (muffins, organic cookies, energy balls). Their natural acidity balances sweet preparations and adds character.

FAQ

Why are these cranberries more acidic than the ones in the supermarket?
Because they contain no added sugar. The vast majority of commercial dried cranberries are sweetened to mask the fruit's natural acidity. The acidity of these cranberries is proof of their authenticity.

What quantity should I consume for a significant intake of PACs?
Studies on PACs generally use the equivalent of 36 mg of A-type PACs per day. The precise PAC content of these berries is indicated on the packaging; consult this reference to adjust your consumption.

Can these cranberries replace a cranberry-based dietary supplement?
They provide natural PACs within a complete food matrix. Standardized supplements offer more precise and concentrated doses. Both approaches are complementary.
