Trans-pterostilbene (trans-pterostilbene)
Synopsis
Trans-pterostilbene is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in blueberries and structurally similar to resveratrol, but with superior bioavailability due to its methylated structure. It supports cellular longevity, cognitive function, and metabolic health. Trans-pterostilbene activates sirtuin pathways (like SIRT1), enhances antioxidant defenses, and promotes healthy lipid and glucose metabolism. It is often used in anti-aging, brain health, and cardiovascular support formulas.
