Evidence LevelLimited-ModerateModerate

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications

  • Severe liver disease
B

Pterostilbene

Supplements

Mechanism

Dimethylated analog of resveratrol with 4x greater oral bioavailability. Activates SIRT1 and AMPK, reduces oxidative stress, and improves lipid profiles. Superior pharmacokinetics compared to resveratrol due to methyl groups protecting against glucuronidation.

Contraindications

  • Hormone-sensitive conditions (mild estrogenic activity)
