Pterostilbene vs Green Tea

Wild blueberries are among the richest sources of pterostilbene, a methylated analog of resveratrol with superior bioavailability; powerful antioxidant and neuroprotective agent.

Green tea is made from the unoxidized leaves of Camellia sinensis and has been consumed in China and Japan for thousands of years. It is one of the most studied beverages for its health benefits, particularly its high concentration of catechins and L-theanine. It provides a unique combination of alertness and calm.
