Pterostilbene
What is Pterostilbene?
Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid found in many natural sources, predominantly in blueberries.
It is chemically related and has the antioxidant benefits of the more well-known resveratrol, but their differences make pterostilbene more bioavailable and with a significantly longer half-life leading to an improved antioxidant potency.
Pterostilbene is used in functional food and beverages, and supplements due to its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and sirtuin activation (longevity) properties.
Pterostilbene properties
May help in slowing the aging process due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and sirtuin activation (longevity) properties
Boosts brain health & may help in neurodegeneration prevention
May help improving cardiovascular health
May help in regulating blood sugar
Due to its structural characteristics, standard pterostilbene exhibits better bioavailability and half-life than resveratrol.
However standard pterostilbene’s oral bioavailability remains low, at only 5-16% of the total intake due to a low solubility, which lowers its oral biological effectiveness and its more powerful health benefits are only achieved when dosed by intra-peritoneal or intra-venous injection which is not a practical way of taking nutraceuticals.
CIRCE SCIENTIFIC
A Highly Bioavailable
PTEROSTILBENE
Through cocrystal engineering, CIRCE Scientific has developed PTEROVITA, a proprietary Pterostilbene cocrystal combination that is >35 times more soluble than commercial pterostilbene, and 10fold more bioavailable (99%+), becoming the most potent oral nutraceutical antioxidant ever seen. This allows for higher potency with lower doses and even to develop new antiaging/antioxidant oral formulations with a potency that was impossible before.
We commercialize the ingredients directly, in the form of improved raw material to food, supplement, cosmetic, feed, or pharmaceutical companies.
Health benefits of PTEROVITA
CIRCE Scientific cocrystal pterostilbene provides unique additional health benefits
reaches up to 99% of the oral bioavailability intake
improves pterostilbene dissolution rate 35 fold
10-fold higher bioavailability than regular pterostilbene
