Pterostilbene is a phenol similar to resveratrol and is found in blueberries and grapes.
Pterostilbene Benefits
- Natural, plant based cellular support which performs better than resveratrol* (ref)*
- Promotes cellular health while aging when paired with NAD+ Precursors (ref)*(ref)*
Pterostilbene Mode of Action
Pterostilbene is a polyphenol contained in plants, fruits, and nuts, with the highest concentration in blueberries and grapes (1, 2). It is very similar to resveratrol and differs only through two methoxy groups on the molecule instead of the two hydroxy groups found on the resveratrol molecule. Both resveratrol and Pterostilbene are phytoalexins, compounds that plants produce which function as self-defense against insects and parasites (1).
Pterostilbene is more potent than resveratrol and has a higher bioavailability (1).
Pterostilbene, when combined with NAD (nicotinamide riboside) intermediate products promotes cellular health while aging due to its ability to raise NAD levels (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) (3). NAD biosynthesis in mammals is a pathway involved in cells throughout the body and is believed to regulate the process of aging. Nicotinamide is converted into NMN which is then converted into NAD. Intermediate enzymes, like nicotinamide riboside (NR), increase the available NAD and contributes to overall cellular lifespan and cellular health in the body (4).
