What Are A-PACs?

A-PACs (A-type Proanthocyanidins) can be found in many fruits, but cranberries have an especially high concentration of A-PACs. A-PACs can help prevent the adhesion of certain harmful bacteria, including E. coli associated with urinary tract infections, onto cell walls, and aid in maintaining urinary tract health. The urinary tract benefit was only observed following cranberry intervention but not after the use of B-type PAC-rich food, such as grape, apple juice, green tea, and dark chocolate.
