For the Support of a Healthy Urinary Tract
DESCRIPTION:
In vitro and ex vivo studies have shown that cranberry products reduce the adhesion of bacteria to the cell surface. The kind of polyphenols specific to cranberries, called A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), have been identified as the active component responsible for this property.
Cranberry PACs cause the fimbriæ on the surface of the bacteria to become compressed, reducing their potential adhesion. They may also change the shape of the bacteria and cause chemical changes to their surface membranes, thus reducing the bacteria's ability to function normally.
METHOD OF ACTION:
PAXON is a palatable nutritional supplement to support urinary tract health.
