Exocyan product line is standardized from 1 to 50% on proanthocyanidines (PACs). It contains a unique type of cranberry flavonoids with antibacterial activity: the A-type PACs.
The anti-adhesion property of A-Type PACs is the basis of cranberry’s extraordinary ability to improve urinary tract health.
