Pterostilbene is a naturally occurring polyphenol compound structurally similar to resveratrol but with higher bioavailability and stability. It is found in blueberries, grapes, and certain tree species, and is recognized for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.
High bioavailability (80% vs. 20% for resveratrol)
Potent antioxidant activity, protecting cells from oxidative stress
Supports cardiovascular health by improving blood lipid profiles
May enhance memory and cognitive function
Our Pterostilbene Powder is produced from natural plant sources (e.g., Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood or blueberries) using supercritical CO₂ extraction and purification via preparative chromatography, ensuring:
Pharmaceutical-grade purity ≥99.0% (HPLC)
No harmful solvent residues
Stable trans-isomer form for maximum bioactivity
Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free certification
Available in bulk quantities for supplement, beverage, and cosmetic applications

Q: Which is better, resveratrol or pterostilbene?
A: Think of them as powerful cousins. Pterostilbene has several key advantages:
Superior Bioavailability: It is more easily absorbed and remains active in your bloodstream longer than resveratrol.
Enhanced Brain Penetration: Its chemical structure allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier more effectively, offering robust neuroprotective benefits.
Greater Metabolic Stability: It is not broken down as quickly by the body.
While both are excellent for supporting cellular health and antioxidant defense, pterostilbene is often considered the more potent and efficient choice due to its superior bioavailability.
Q: How much pterostilbene should I take a day?
A: A standard and well-researched daily dosage ranges from 50 mg to 150 mg. Most high-quality supplements provide a dose within this range.
General Wellness / Antioxidant Support: 50-100 mg per day.
Targeted Support (e.g., cognitive or metabolic): 100-150 mg per day.
Always start with the manufacturer’s recommended dosage on the product label and consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Q: What does pterostilbene do for the body?
A: Pterostilbene is a potent natural compound that offers multiple systemic benefits:
Activates Longevity Pathways: It helps activate sirtuins, proteins linked to cellular repair and longevity.
Powerful Antioxidant: Protects cells from free radical damage.
Supports Brain Health: Helps protect neurons, supports memory, and promotes cognitive function.
Promotes Metabolic Health: Helps maintain healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels already within the normal range.
Q: What is the best source of pterostilbene?
A: The most concentrated natural source is blueberries, and it is also found in grapes and cranberries. However, it is impossible to get a clinically significant dose (like 100mg) from diet alone. You would need to consume impractically large amounts of blueberries daily.
Therefore, the most reliable and potent source is a high-purity, supplement-grade pterostilbene extract, typically derived from the Indian Kino Tree (Pterocarpus marsupium).
Always check the supplement label for the amount of elemental selenium and consult your healthcare provider before use, as needs can vary.
