LAKEVILLE-MIDDLEBORO, MASS.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Every day you put your best foot forward, taking small steps to make each day healthier, happier and #evenbetter than the last. PACt™ cranberry extract water kicks off the next generation of Ocean Spray® products that harness the power of the cranberry in a refreshing new way.
PACt™ cranberry extract water from Ocean Spray® contains PACs, or proanthocyanidins – powerful elements found deep inside cranberries, to help cleanse and purify your body better than water alone.* It’s a better water for a better you, with a deliciously hydrating, fruity taste and only 10 calories per 16-ounce bottle.
This Fall, Maria Menounos, E! Entertainment TV host and two-time New York Times best-selling author, will be inspiring consumers to hydrate in a healthy way with new PACt™ water. “Hydration is a huge part of feeling good about yourself and PACt™ water is a small step in your journey to be even better,” says Maria Menounos. “What really excites me is that it contains powerful health benefits of the cranberry, giving you a hydration option that works even harder.”
From New York to California, Menounos will share her tips on how you can engage in simple health and fitness tasks you know you can achieve, a few small steps at a time. She will also light up faces as she surprises and delights consumers at random with first taste deliveries of PACt™ water.

Healthy Hydration
The secret to PACt™ water lies within the
PACs, or proanthocyanidins, which are natural elements found deep inside
cranberries that help cleanse and purify your body better than water
alone.*
“We found a way to concentrate the unique health-promoting elements found deep inside the cranberry through the development of a cranberry extract made by a patented process,” said Christina Khoo, PhD, Director of Research Sciences, Ocean Spray.
You can find PACt™ water in the water aisle today at select major grocery stores, drug and convenience stores and mass merchandisers in California and Nevada and online.

*PACs (Proanthocyanidins) found in cranberries are not found in water alone.
