I have been taking pterostilbene since about 5 weeks to combine it with nicotinamide riboside, as is done in Elysium. First I took Jarrow's 50 mg then NusaPure 150mg. A couple of days ago, I discovered a scientific paper, letter to the editor, pointing out the substantial increase of (bad) LDL cholesterol in humans taking pterostilbene at usual doses. See "Pterostilbene raises low density lipoprotein cholesterol in people", C. Brenner and A.C. Boileau, Clinical Nutrition 38 (2019) 480. This LDL increase is rather strong. This is even buried -without discussion- in a recent (2017) paper of the Elysium group purporting the "safety and efficacy" of their "Basis" supplement. Thus the longterm supplementation with pterostilbene seems to pose a significant danger for one's cardiovascular health. I stopped the intake of pterostilbene immediately. Until proven otherwise, I will not continue with any pterostilbene supplement. PS: The single star doesn't refer to the quality of the product or the the standing of NusaPure as a company.
