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 serving (two 500mg capsules) of our Fermented Cranberry Extract contains 10%, or 100mg of Type-A Proanthocyanidins (A-PACs).

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.

(“Recent research process of fermented plant extract: a review”, Trends in Food Science & Technology 65, 2017, 40-48)

Numerous research papers and trials have shown that the oral consumption of cranberry (and Type-A Proanthocyanidin) supplements is safe and well-tolerated by the body.

("Effect of oral cranberry extract (standardized proanthocyanidin‑A) in patients with recurrent UTI by pathogenic E. coli: a randomized placebo‑controlled clinical research study", Journal of International Urology and Nephrology, June 2016)

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.

Yes!

Given our fermentation and extraction process, our cranberry supplement is sugar free, whereas an average glass of cranberry juice contains over 30 g of sugar!

Our Fermented Cranberry Extract is also Vegan, Gluten Free, Non GMO, and Glyphosate Free.

Depending on the natural settling of the powder, there may be some some powder separation or empty space inside the capsule, which would be normal.

We at CellFend try to keep our products as pure and natural as possible.

As such, we don't use coating, dilutions, or masking agents to conceal the smell or taste.

Our capsules are made of glutinous rice starch, which is gluten free.

The name "glutinous" is misleading, as it's actually gluten free.

The name simply comes from the consistency of that rice varietal when cooked.

Each capsule is 500mg.

One serving is equal to 2 capsules (1,000mg).

Take one serving (2 capsules) once a day with food, or as directed by a health care professional.
