4. Product description
    Pterostilbene, a structural analog of resveratrol, is called the next generation of resveratrol. Pterostilbene was originally isolated from the heartwood of red sandalwood (Pterocarpus santalinus). Its presence in grape vines and blueberries was also reported later. Like resveratrol, Pterostilbene belongs to a class of compounds called phytoalexins. Pterostilbene and resveratrol have very similar pharmacologic, properties, however Pterostilbene has several key advantages over resveratrol, superior biological activity, better oral bioavailability and slower metabolism in the body.
