While many believe drinking cranberry juice can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs), the amount of active compounds, called proanthocyanidins (PACs), varies drastically. It's estimated that a 7-ounce serving of cranberry juice can contain anywhere from 17.8 to 46 milligrams of PACs, depending on the product.

This critical fact emphasizes that you cannot assume all cranberry supplements have PACs, especially in a clinically relevant dose.
