Pterostilbene is a natural dietary compound and is considered the primary antioxidant component of blueberries. It is structurally similar to resveratrol, a compound found in red wine that has comparable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic properties.

The supplement may have numerous protective and therapeutic properties in a vast range of human diseases that include neurological, cardiovascular, metabolic, and hematologic disorders. As a nootropic, pterostilbene is used to promote cognitive health and offers a variety of neuroprotective benefits.

However, pterostilbene displays increased bioavailability because of the presence of 2 methoxy groups that cause it to exhibit increased lipophilic and oral absorption.
