Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid found in many natural sources, predominantly in blueberries.
It is chemically related to the more well-known resveratrol.
Both are potent antioxidants used in longevity supplements due to their sirtuins activation properties.
Pterostilbene has a large range of health-beneficial effects and acts as an inducer of multiple cell-death pathways.
Due to its structural characteristics, standard pterostilbene exhibits better bioavailability than resveratrol. However pterostilbene’s oral bioavailability remains low, only 5-16% of the total intake, which lowers its biological effectiveness
Through cocrystal engineering, CIRCE has developed a unique patented combination of pterostilbene and picolinic acid that improves pterostilbene’s bioavailability 10 times up to >99%, making it much more efficient than any form of pterostilbene in the market.
