Pterostilbene 100mg 120' - Nutricost

Pterostilbene is a chemical compound found in plants. It is a polyphenol with a structure similar to resveratrol. However, due to slight structural differences, pterostilbene is more fat-soluble. This difference improves the bioavailability of pterostilbene. In general, animal research has found pterostilbene to have similar yet stronger effects on health than those found for resveratrol.

Pterostilbene is well absorbed, easily distributed throughout the body, and can cross the blood-brain barrier—factors that are unusual for many natural, health-promoting polyphenols. Pterostilbene was first discovered as a compound in sandalwood. As research progressed, additional sources were found, including blueberries, grapes, peanuts, and Indian kino.

A lot of excitement surrounds pterostilbene in the published research. Study authors have acknowledged numerous potential effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, blood-sugar-balancing, anti-obesity, and protective effects on the heart and brain.
