How our UTI gummies work
Two gummies taken daily, delivers an incredible 36 mg PACs, which is the equivalent of 300mL of cranberry juice and the amount needed to maintain optimal urinary health.
Lots of yummy foods have PACs, like chocolate and grapes, but the PACs found in cranberries (and our gummies!) are unique — they prevent bacterial adhesion in parts of the body, like your stomach, oral cavity and urinary tract. So you can say, bye bye to UTIs!
Our science-first focus delivers products that work
-
Our Goal
To create a nutritional gummy that specifically targets maintenance of urinary tract health.
-
Our Independent Lab
We worked with The Philip E. Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research at Rutgers University to formulate our gummy. The PE Marucci Center was first established over 100 years ago, and today is recognized by the federal government as the National Center for Vaccinium Research.
-
Our Process
The lab performed multiple rounds of testing to establish the most effective ingredient combination to create our gummy. Several cranberry powders were analyzed to compare proanthocyanidins (PAC) levels and uropathogenic bacterial anti-adhesion activity (AAA). A gummy formulation with 36 mg of soluble PAC was determined to be the best level for preventing bacterial adhesion, which interrupts the first step in the urinary tract infection process.

The Result
A science-based gummy formulated for PAC levels designed to help you effectively maintain your urinary tract health.
Insoluble PACs vs. Soluble PACs
Insoluble PACs
Insoluble PACs do not prevent bacterial adhesion to the bladder. Insoluble PACs come from the dried skins, stems, and seeds of the fruit.
Soluble PACs
Soluble PACs at high levels are necessary for maximum anti-adhesion activity and clinical efficacy. These can only be extracted from the pure juice concentrate.
What are PACs?
PACs or proanthocyanidins are polyphenolic compounds found in a wide range of foods. The PACs found in cranberries are unique. They contain linkages that are associated with preventing bacterial adhesion in certain parts of the body, including the urinary tract. They’re the only PACs that support urinary tract health.
Why is 36 mg of PAC the right amount for a UTI gummy?
A clinical trial conducted at Harvard and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association demonstrated positive effects in reducing bacteria that cause UTIs after patients took a 300-mL serving of cranberry juice. At the PE Marucci Center, researchers isolated PACs in the 300-mL serving of juice used in Harvard’s study and determined that it contained 36 mg of PAC. The result: Canary adopted 36 mgs as the “effective dose” of PAC in our UTI gummy.
Why is Canary the best option available?
Traditional over-the-counter cranberry products can vary widely in their quality and ingredients, making them unreliable for UTI maintenance. Laboratory studies show that many products on the market contain less than 5 mg of PACs, rendering them ineffective.
Even if they claim to contain 36 mg of PAC, many brands are using inexpensive insoluble PACs obtained from the fruit pulp and skins left over after juicing, which are not effective for maintenance of urinary tract health. It’s the soluble PACs found in pure cranberry juice concentrate that have demonstrated efficacy in clinical studies.
Canary’s gummy is standardized to contain 36 mg of soluble PACs, the most effective formulation for supporting urinary tract health.
