Stilbenes, particularly resveratrol and pterostilbene, are non-flavonoid phenolic compounds extensively studied for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, and their role in combating age-related disorders like diabetes and cancer{{pmid|23448440}}{{ | Stilbenes, particularly resveratrol and pterostilbene, are non-flavonoid phenolic compounds extensively studied for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties, and their role in combating age-related disorders like diabetes and cancer{{pmid|23448440}}{{doi2|10.7324/JAPS.2019.90717|Chan EWC, Wong CW, Tan YH, Foo JPY, Wong SK, Chan HT.

They are found naturally in grapes and berries, and studies have established their safety and bioavailability, with doses of resveratrol up to 5 grams and pterostilbene to 250 mg being well-tolerated{{pmid|23431291}}{{pmid|30513922}}. | ||
Despite their potential, resveratrol and pterostilbene have shown lifespan extension only in certain preclinical models, with the results being context-dependent and subject to debate{{pmid|29210129}}. Pterostilbene is particularly notable for its higher bioavailability (80%) compared to resveratrol (20%), and its efficacy in upregulating antioxidant enzymes like SOD and GR{{pmid|23691264}}. This difference in bioavailability is critical in modulating the SIRT1 pathway, with co-administration of the two potentially maximizing their collective benefits{{pmid|18826454}}. | Despite their potential, resveratrol and pterostilbene have shown lifespan extension only in certain preclinical models, with the results being context-dependent and subject to debate{{pmid|29210129}}.
