What is pTeroPure Pterostilbene?
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.
