Re: [resveratrol-users] Re: Pterostilbene and pTerinol
"Pterostilbene is a stilbenoid chemically related to resveratrol. It is thought to be the key compound found predominantly in blueberries (as well as grapes) that exhibit anti-cancer, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-hypertriglyceridemia properties, as well as fight off and reverse cognitive
decline. It is believed that the compound also has anti-diabetic properties."
I use it for its overall benefits, not for one thing in particular. I believe the extract I'm seeking comes from the bark of the tree, while the ayurvedic product I ordered comes from the heartwood, which is used for diabetes. For all I know, I'll receive sawdust.
It's a joke saying China has superior products to India. India has a thriving pharmaceutical industry that supplies the US and the rest of the world with many of its generic drugs I've never heard of any scandals involving impurities in Indian products, although lead is always a concern in natural products from Asia. Some ayurvedic products are intentionally high in lead as an active ingredient, which is horrific, but that's another story. Chinese failures in quality control are numerous and
infamous.
You appear very knowledgeable about the situation. Do you know of another place where I can buy pterostibene?

The problem is not political correctness, the problem is that even the Chinese government will not allow use of the tree, which limits the availability of high quality extracts. The Chinese supply the bulk of such extracts. Lobsons gets theirs from India or other parts of South Asia, the purity may not be the best, and it has not been a
big hit in the supplement market. The samples I've seen appear to be mostly sawdust. There may be some concentrated extract mixed with this. I certainly hope so. It had no effect on parameters such as blood sugar or blood lipids when I tried it a few years ago. Pterostilbene is not as well researched or tested as other stilbenes or polyphenols. What particular benefit do you hope to derive from this as a supplement?
