Is a proprietary, nature-identical formulation of the antioxidant
compound pterostilbene, found naturally in blueberries. Pterostilbene
has superior biological activity, better oral bioavailability and is
metabolized more slowly in the body than other polyphenols
(antioxidant phytochemicals that tend to prevent or neutralize the
damaging effects of free radicals), allowing more time for its
antioxidant activities to act. Pterostilbene has shown promise for
supporting cardiovascular health, cognitive function and anti-aging*.
However, the amount of pterostilbene present in a typical serving of
blueberries is a tiny fraction of the amount needed to realize its
benefits.
