Pterostilbene - Why pTeroPure™?

pTeroPure will promote health and well-being through the discovery and development of nutraceutical ingredients - naturally occurring molecules that can be integrated into dietary supplements, nutritional products and functional foods. Like resveratrol, pterostilbene (tero-STILL-bean) belongs to a class of compounds called phytoalexins, which are naturally produced by plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Pterostilbene and resveratrol have very similar pharmacologic properties, however pterostilbene has several key advantages over resveratrol. Pterostilbene is one of several stilbenes found in certain berries (e.g., blueberries, cranberries, sparkleberries, lingonberries, and grapes), thus, consumption of these small fruits may help improve health.

pTeroPure is a nature identical form of trans-pterostilbene. Pterostilbene is the next generation of resveratrol:

• a methylated resveratrol analog naturally found in berries
• superior biological activity
• better oral bioavailability
• metabolizes more slowly in the body, allowing more time for its antioxidant activities to act
