It states its proanthocyanidin (PAC) content measured by the DMAC method, at the dose used in UTI-prevention research, rather than just a weight of cranberry powder.
Not for: Anyone with an active UTI (that needs medical treatment), people on warfarin, and people prone to kidney stones.
AI picks by need
For widely available everyday option
AZO Cranberry Urinary Tract Health (line)
A widely stocked capsule that also states its PAC content.
Not for: Anyone treating an active infection instead of seeing a clinician.
What the AI looks for in Cranberry Herbal Supplements
- PAC content
- Look for about 36 mg of PACs per day, measured by the DMAC method PACs are the anti-adhesion compounds, and powder weight alone says little about them.
- Assay method
- Prefer DMAC over other assay methods Other methods can inflate the PAC figure.
- Use case
- Use for prevention in people with recurrent UTIs, not for treatment Evidence supports a modest preventive effect only.
Brands that matter
- Ellura: High, DMAC-verified PAC dose.
- AZO: Mass-market cranberry with stated PACs.
What to avoid
- Products listing only milligrams of cranberry with no PAC figure.
- Sweetened cranberry juice cocktail used as a substitute.
