- Product Description
Pterostilbene Bulk Powder – High-Purity Antioxidant for Advanced Formulations
Pterostilbene bulk powder represents a breakthrough solution in the nutraceutical industry, addressing the persistent bioavailability challenges faced by traditional stilbenoid compounds. This white to off-white crystalline material is a dimethylated derivative of resveratrol, chemically identified as trans-3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxystilbene (CAS No. 537-42-8). Unlike naturally occurring sources where concentrations remain impractically low, our product utilizes precision biosynthetic processes to deliver consistent 99% purity levels. The compound's two strategically positioned methoxy groups significantly enhance lipophilicity, enabling approximately 80% oral bioavailability compared to resveratrol's 20%. This structural advantage allows superior cellular membrane penetration and blood-brain barrier crossing, making it particularly valuable for your cognitive health and anti-aging formulation needs.

Why Choose Us?
Pharmaceutical Grade Manufacturing Environment
Shaanxi Rebecca Biotechnology has a 100,000-grade cleanroom facility and advanced quality control systems. Every batch is rigorously tested at multiple stages for purity, heavy metals and microbiological content to guarantee that they meet EU EC396 and EU 2023/915 requirements.
Unmatched Supply Stability
Our optimised biosynthetic production route removes the need for seasonal plant harvesting. This secures the same quality parameters all year round and protects your production planning from shortages of raw materials.
Flexible Customization Services
We cater your custom solutions with 98% affordable grade for mid-tier supplements or 99.5% registration grade for clinical purposes. Our OEM/ODM services offer a variety of dosage forms such as tablets, capsules and customised powder blends to meet your specific formulation needs.
Technical Support and Documentation
With each order, you receive full batch analysis certifications, stability data and traceability records. Our technical staff helps with formulation, solubility optimisation and regulatory documents for registration in world markets.

Production Technological Process
Step 1: Purity Substrate Selection
We provide pharmaceutical grade chemical precursors pre-screened for heavy metal contamination and residual impurities, thus creating a clean slate for synthesis.
Step 2: Catalytic Directed Synthesis
We manage the temperature and pH in our closed-loop reaction system to maximise the synthesis of the trans-isomer while minimising the formation of the undesirable cis-isomer and by-products.
Step 3: Multi-Stage Gradient Recrystallization
This essential process involves controlled crystallisation cycles to remove cis-isomers and trace impurities stepwise, reaching trans-pterostilbene purity over 99 %.
Step 4: Low Temperature Vacuum Desolventisation
The advanced vacuum drying method removes residual solvents to below ICH Q3C limits, with no thermal degradation or colour change.
Step 5: Correct Grinding & Screening
Controlled milling for homogeneous particle distribution (80 – 200 mesh choices) to ensure optimum flowability for your encapsulation or tabletting processes.
Step 6: Homogenise in Batches
3D blending technique reduces batch-to-batch differences in purity and moisture content for your large-scale continuous manufacturing demands.
Step 7: Light-Protected Packaging
Double-layer aluminium foil vacuum bags prevent oxidative degradation during storage and transit, helping to retain product integrity across your supply chain.
Step 8: Full-Spectrum Quality Verification
Final release testing includes HPLC purity analysis, solvent residue screening, microbiological testing and heavy metal profiling, with full documentation to meet regulatory requirements.
