Potent Trans-Pterostilbene - 200mg, 120 Vegan Capsules - Antioxidant Supplement - Gluten, Soy & Dairy Free

In addition to being an antioxidant, it's also a FAAH inhibitor and a MAO-B inhibitor, and it is a diuretic. It interferes with a lot of medications, especially psychotropic medications, and can thus cause severe and potentially dangerous reactions. This compound is still being studied so a lot of the relevant information on it is not widely known or easily accessible. Be careful because even your doctor may not know of an interaction it may cause! Great quality product at an excellent price, just not safe for everyone! Oh, and for anyone wondering about the "Trans" part, trans pterostilbene is the biologically active one that is often just called "pterostilbene"; cis pterostilbene is not useful or commonly encountered outside of a laboratory.

I was going to order another bottle of this but saw a reveiw that said it tasted like salt so I opened a capsule and tasted it myself. I'm not sure what other brands of Pterostibene taste like but this brand did NOT taste like "pure salt" as a previous reviewer stated. There may have been a very slight taste of salt but by no means "pure salt". Since I have no way to analyze the ingredients, I'm going to trust the manufacturer and order another bottle, since this appears to be the best value on Amazon. I may order another brand later and try a taste test between the brands at which time i will upgrade my review. I take a number of supplements to activate some of the longevity pathways (sirtuens, ampk, nrfp, etc.) so I really can't tell if one supplement is more effective than another (except for one). But according to the literature this is as effective and maybe more effective than resveratrol, in some respects, as a sirtuen activator.

Probably not of interest to most customers, but this product is not water soluble. I've been using another brand of Pterostilbene for some time. I have a medical condition which prohibits swallowing pills, so I dissolve the contents of the capsule in liquid. I've always used water. But this time I switched to this brand of Pterostilbene because of the larger quantity (180) per bottle. But I found these are not water soluble. I thought maybe it was oil soluble. Nope. Finally, I found it dissolves in alcohol. I'm not a chemist, but I wonder how well it is absorbed by the body when it is not water soluble.

I like the fact that this product has the highest dose per capsule at the lowest cost of most other brands.I am 72 and have Parkinson's Disease and have been taking resveratrol to support neurological function which was helping me with motor control and antioxidant activity, also cognitive function. When I discovered pterostilbene has better bioavailability I started taking this product. I have been using it for 3 and a half months and I have not had anyreduction of the support that I was getting from the resveratrol but other than a little better feeling of well being it is difficult to evaluate if I am getting greater benefit otherwise. If I do notice any positive change I will update this review.

A lot of pterostilbene products contain only 50mg or less of trans-pterostilbene per capsule. This HMS brand contains 200mg at a great price. A number of years ago 50mg was thought to be a large dose but I see that many studies of it now use in the range of 150 - 300mg. Of pterostilbene's many benefits, one worth remember in these days of Coronavirus is that it provides serious immune protection. The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University found it and resveratrol to be the most powerful of the things they tested. And it worked even better in combination with vitamin D I believe.

The stated ingredient is good. Wish there was a 3rd party certification of content but you rarely get that with supplements.

My husband and I have been taking this for 9 mos now. I haven't noticed any positive changes except that my hair is thicker. Our HgbA1C (diabetes indicator) went up 0.1, my BP is up significantly, my hot flashes returned, my husband's cognition seems a little worse (could be why my BP is up, lol). Not sure any of these things are related to the supplement, but I'm not seeing any good changes either. Apparently now it is out of stock, so we may be going off of it and then have a better idea. Theoretically it seems it should be a good supplement, just not seeing it.

I feel more alert but take in the morning as it may keep you awake
