Pterostilbene bulk powder CAS 537-42-8
Product Introduction
Pterostilbene (trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene) is a dimethylated derivative of resveratrol and belongs to the stilbenoid/polyphenol class. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder.
We support two mature mass-production processes to satisfy differentiated procurement demands:
Natural extraction route: Raw materials are sourced from blueberries in North America. Low-temperature physical extraction avoids molecular thermal degradation, securing high-purity natural trans-pterostilbene.
Synthetic purification route (our mainstream industrial bulk supply): Adopt pharmaceutical-grade raw materials for directional synthesis, matched with proprietary multi-stage molecular distillation and recrystallization purification technology. Strictly control cis-pterostilbene isomer content below 0.15% to solve unstable activity caused by isomer mixing in the industry.
Our factory achieves an annual output of 60 tons, maintaining stable spot inventory year-round to mitigate the risk of raw material shortages for downstream mass production.
Product Strength
Optimized molecular structure: Two methoxy groups replace hydroxyl groups compared with resveratrol, LogP value reaches 3.8, lipophilicity is 3 times higher; 60-day high-temperature accelerated stability test shows activity degradation rate less than 3% under light exposure and 60℃, while resveratrol degrades over 25%, effectively reducing finished product rejection rate.
Low impurity system: Single unknown impurity ≤0.3%, total organic impurities ≤1.0%; residual hazardous solvents (methanol, dichloromethane) <100 ppm, meeting strict registration requirements of high-end nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Wide pH tolerance range: Stable between pH 4.0–8.5 without precipitation; compatible with oil suspensions, emulsions and soft capsule systems without extra modification to cut clients’ R&D costs.
Long metabolic half-life of 7 hours (resveratrol only 14 minutes), delivering sustained efficacy for end consumer products and improving market competitiveness of downstream brands.
product Benefits
Powerful Antioxidation & Anti-Inflammation
Activates the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway; DPPH & ABTS free radical scavenging capacity is 40% higher than resveratrol; inhibits NF-κB inflammatory response to relieve chronic low-grade inflammation.
Acts as natural antioxidant stabilizer for grease systems to retard rancidity of unsaturated oils and extend shelf life of soft capsules and oil-based preparations.
Outstanding Oral Bioavailability
Methylated molecular structure resists rapid decomposition by metabolic enzymes; oral bioavailability is approximately 4 times that of resveratrol. Clients can lower formula dosage to control overall raw material cost while guaranteeing end-product efficacy, supported by published clinical literature verifying its 7-hour plasma half-life.
Cardiovascular & Cognitive Protection
Regulates vascular endothelial health and stabilizes blood lipid levels; alleviates neuronal oxidative damage, widely applied in dietary supplements targeting cognitive support and cardiovascular maintenance.
Anti-Aging & Photoprotection for Cosmetics
Resists UV-induced oxidative damage in skin; inhibits matrix metalloproteinase that degrades collagen to improve photoaging and fine lines; relieves sensitive redness for anti-aging serums, repair creams and sunscreen matching antioxidants.
Excellent Processing Stability for Mass Production
High resistance to temperature, light and acid-base fluctuations; no obvious activity loss during conventional pressing, emulsification and filling procedures. Clients can use existing production lines without special low-temperature light-shielding reconstruction to improve production tolerance.
product application
Dietary Supplement Industry
It's suitable for hard capsules, soft capsules, tablets, compound powder blends; commonly compounded with NMN, PQQ for anti-aging formulations targeting longevity care, cognitive support, cardiovascular health and metabolic management, widely adopted by mainstream health brands in Europe, America and Southeast Asia.
Cosmetics & Personal Care Industry
It is applied in anti-aging serums, repair creams, ampoule essences and sunscreen systems. Its high lipophilicity improves transdermal penetration for anti-photoaging and sensitive skin soothing.
Pharmaceutical Intermediates
99.5% high-purity grade serves as lead compounds for pre-clinical research of anti-inflammatory and metabolic regulation drugs. Fully meets pharmaceutical factory audit standards and supports DMF document docking.
Functional Food & Edible Oil Preservation
Natural antioxidant additive for functional edible oils to replace synthetic preservatives, helping brands upgrade to clean-label formulations.

Q: What is the difference between your synthetic pterostilbene and natural extracted version?
A: Synthetic trans-pterostilbene features stable purity, low impurities, cost advantages and large-scale stable supply, the mainstream choice for mass industrial production. Natural extracted pterostilbene fits high-end small-batch clean-label brands. We supply both grades as per your requirements.
Q: Can your pterostilbene meet heavy metal standards for EU and US importation?
A: Every batch undergoes SGS ICP-MS testing fully compliant with USP and EU food regulations. Original test reports are provided for customs clearance and third-party re-inspection.
Q: How to solve the poor water solubility of pterostilbene powder?
A: Two mature solutions: optimize oil-phase solubilization formulas; customized cyclodextrin inclusion-modified pterostilbene to significantly improve water solubility provided by our R&D team.
Q: What is the MOQ for bulk orders? Can mixed specifications be shipped in one container?
A: Sample MOQ is 1kg; bulk industrial MOQ is 25kg. Consolidated shipments with mixed specifications are supported.
