What it is
Pterostilbene is a methylated analogue of resveratrol, a stilbenoid compound found in blueberries. It is utilized for its potential to support cellular longevity and healthy aging processes.

How it works
It activates sirtuin enzymes, particularly SIRT1, which are involved in cellular repair and metabolic regulation. Pterostilbene also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals and supporting mitochondrial function.
Who should take it
Adults looking to address premature ageing, low energy, cellular stress. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
Avoid / careful
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.

FAQs
Frequently asked
How is pterostilbene different from resveratrol?
Pterostilbene is methylated, which enhances its bioavailability and absorption compared to resveratrol, allowing for potentially greater cellular impact at lower doses.
When can I expect to see results?
For longevity markers, effects are typically measurable within 8-12 weeks of consistent daily use. Consistency is more critical than dose size in this category.
Can pterostilbene be taken with other supplements?
Yes, pterostilbene can be layered into a broader protocol. However, consult a clinician if you are on prescription medication affecting similar pathways.

About Pterostilbene
Pterostilbene is a longevity & nad+ supplement used to support healthy ageing and cellular longevity. Methylated resveratrol analogue for ageing and lipids. It is available in capsule form and dosed for adults in India and internationally. As a western-tradition entry in the SacredBod catalog, it is positioned as a single-ingredient option that can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol. Pterostilbene works through the mechanisms characteristic of its class — see the mechanism and research sections for detail. It primarily acts on the mitochondria, cells, telomeres, and effects are dose-dependent, typically becoming measurable within 8-12 weeks for longevity markers. Consistency matters more than dose size for this category.
Evidence
Pterostilbene carries an evidence grade of B in the SacredBod catalog, reflecting good-but-limited human evidence for healthy ageing and cellular longevity. Methylated resveratrol analogue for ageing and lipids. Benefits are cumulative rather than immediate, typically becoming noticeable within 8-12 weeks for longevity markers, and individual response varies.
Dosing
A typical dose is 100 mg, taken with food, usually in the morning. Start at the lower end, assess tolerance, and stay consistent; more is not automatically better.
Cautions
Pregnant or nursing women without clinician oversight. People on prescription medication affecting the same pathway should consult a doctor before combining. Side effects are uncommon at recommended doses but mild GI upset can occur when starting.
Who it’s for
Adults looking to address premature ageing, low energy, cellular stress. Particularly relevant for people who prefer a targeted single ingredient and who have ruled out an underlying condition that needs medical care first.
As part of the Longevity & NAD+ category, Pterostilbene can be used on its own or layered into a broader protocol — see the Goes with panel for evidence-aligned pairings.
