Pick one· moderate evidence

Pterostilbene is methylated resveratrol.

Pterostilbene is essentially a methylated version of resveratrol with the same family of effects but better absorption and a longer half-life, so the two heavily overlap.

What to do

Use one: pterostilbene for bioavailability, resveratrol for cost (and take resveratrol with fat to absorb it). Stacking both adds little beyond what one provides, and the longevity evidence for either remains preliminary in humans.
