What is Pterostilbene?
Pterostilbene is a methylated analog of resveratrol with better oral bioavailability. It is studied for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic effects relevant to aging biology.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
better bioavailability than resveratrol
antioxidant/anti-inflammatory
supports metabolic health
may support cognitive aging
Research Summary
Pterostilbene has supportive preclinical data and smaller human studies across metabolic and oxidative stress endpoints. Its anti-aging potential is plausible, but it is less established than resveratrol or NR.
Related Peptides
Rapamycin
Rapamycin (Sirolimus)
Rapamycin is a macrolide originally developed as an immunosuppressant and is one of the most studied geroscience compounds. In aging research, it is best known for inhibiting mTOR, a pathway strongly linked to nutrient sensing, autophagy, and lifespan regulation.
Anti-AgingMetformin
Metformin Hydrochloride
Metformin is a biguanide widely used for type 2 diabetes and heavily studied for geroprotection. Its anti-aging interest comes from effects on AMPK signaling, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and cellular stress responses.
Anti-AgingNMN
Nicotinamide Mononucleotide
Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a direct NAD+ precursor studied for age-associated declines in cellular energy and repair processes. It is commonly researched in the context of mitochondrial function, DNA repair support, and metabolic resilience.
Anti-AgingSpermidine
Spermidine
Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine found in cells and foods such as wheat germ and soy. It is studied for its ability to promote autophagy and support cellular maintenance pathways that decline with age.
