I take about 250 mg of resveratrol every day (from Life Extension).
I also take, when I can find and afford it, pterostilbene, which is the
methylated form of resveratrol (and therefore not off-topic), which has
important health benefits of its own.
Swansons used to sell it at a reasonable price and then suddenly
discontinued it. I have found another site, but they charge a dollar a
pill for a bottle of 60. This product also contains resveratrol.
The extract is called "pTerinol". It comes from the malabar kino tree.
I have ordered some from an ayurvedic website, but it's the raw herb.
They use it for diabetes, which I do not have.
I'm a big believer in both resveratrol and pterostilbene. Blueberries,
by the way, are the most common source of the latter in our diets, but
they only contain a trace amount.
Remember, pterostilbene is the methylated form of resveratrol. They go
together and mentioning it here should not be considered off-topic.
Does anyone know of a good source of pterostilbene capsules at a
reasonable price?
