PTEROVITA is the most potent pterostilbene ingredient available on the market. The proprietary health ingredient is a unique combination of pterostilbene and picolinic acid, two natural compounds with demonstrated health benefits. However, during the isolation process they combined to form one cocrystal, maximizing their synergistic effects and unlocking the full potential of their natural health benefits.
The unique combination of pterostilbene and picolinic acid improves pterostilbene oral bioavailability 10-fold, enhancing the ingredient’s health benefits and opening new possibilities in functional food and beverages, such as in oral nutraceutical formulations.
Found primarily in blueberries, pterostilbene is a natural stilbenoid (or anti-microbial compound) that is chemically related resveratrol. However, due to it’s unique structure, which contains two methoxy groups, pterostilbene has greater bioavailability than resveratrol. Pterostilbene also exhibits less toxicity and fewer adverse effects.
The natural compound exhibits a range of therapeutic properties, particularly anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity. Numerous research studies have demonstrated pterostilbene’s detoxification activities, including its role in mediating the anti-inflammation response, regulating the cell cycle, augmenting apoptosis, enhancing autophagy and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis.
PTEROVITA also supports healthy aging. The powerful ingredient may help slow the aging processes and promote longevity through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and sirtuin activating properties; as well as helping regulate blood sugar and improve cardiovascular health.
