Pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring dimethyl ether analog of resveratrol. Synthesized by plants as a protective phytoalexin, this compound has captured the scientific focus of modern longevity research, nutraceutical development, and functional cosmetics. While resveratrol has long been celebrated as an antioxidant powerhouse, Pterostilbene features a critical structural distinction: the presence of two methoxy groups in place of resveratrol’s hydroxyl groups.
This subtle modification dramatically alters its physiochemical profile. The methoxy groups increase the molecule's lipophilic character, enhancing cell membrane permeability and yielding an oral absorption rate approximately 4 times greater than that of traditional resveratrol. Furthermore, it exhibits a significantly longer plasma half-life due to reduced susceptibility to glucuronidation, allowing sustained biological activity across metabolic path networks.
| Parameters | Trans-Resveratrol | Trans-Pterostilbene |
|---|---|---|
| Bioavailability (Oral) | ~ 20% | ~ 80% |
| Half-life (T½) | ~ 14 minutes | ~ 105 minutes |
| Clearance Rate | Rapid Glucuronidation | Slow / High Retention |
| Lipophilicity (LogP) | 3.1 | 4.1 (High cellular uptake) |
Pterostilbene's distinct physiological advantages translate into transformative product opportunities across diverse consumer and industrial markets.
Formulated as a key compound in cellular health products, NAD+ co-activators (working synergistically with NMN/NR), and mitochondrial rejuvenators. Pterostilbene acts as an AMPK and Sirtuin 1 pathway activator, supporting overall metabolic health and systemic cardiovascular function.
Demonstrating high blood-brain barrier permeability, Pterostilbene is widely applied in cognitive-enhancement supplements (nootropics) to maintain memory retention, support cellular integrity in neural pathways, and minimize age-related oxidative stress.
Highly stabilized cosmetic-grade trans-Pterostilbene serves as a potent functional ingredient in targeted anti-aging formulations, brightening creams, and skin-tone correctors by inhibiting melanogenesis and reducing UV-induced cellular degradation.

Through our dedicated R&D efforts, we have optimized extraction and crystallization routes to isolate Pterostilbene at industrial scales, offering customized particle sizes, granular solutions, and customizable product specifications to seamlessly integrate with our client's downstream processing lines.
Ensuring raw material purity, molecular identity, and absolute chemical safety through cutting-edge diagnostics.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications. Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It’s one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients, but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products that is a sign of a company who cares. Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients you want meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extract, ratio extract, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires. Andy Biotech provide high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract, Lycopene Tomato Extract, Lutein Marigold Extract, Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder Aloe Vera Extract and other natural ingredients to food, health and nutraceutical industries.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root and shredded into pulp and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.
As a child, Andy watched his grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom.
From that time on, little Andy swore that he would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people. This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech are dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.
Ensuring absolute batch-to-batch traceability through comprehensive global pharmaceutical, food safety, and operational audits.
