• White - like crystalline powder, sensitive to air

• Pterostilbene   helps prevent precancerous damage to the body.  It is found in both blueberries and blackberries as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.  Ohio State University found that animals that ate rough berries had an 80 percent lower risk of colon cancer and a 60 percent lower risk of gastrointestinal tumors.  Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, with the highest incidence in the age group from 40 to 50 years old.  According to the world epidemiological survey, colon cancer has the highest incidence in North America, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other places, ranking second in visceral cancer, and the incidence and mortality Chemicalbook in China is increasing year by year.  After years of experiments on animals, us scientists found that the compound, derived from blueberries and grapes, protects against cancer and heart disease by inhibiting an enzyme called P450 cytochrome, which activates chemical carcinogens and lowers LDL cholesterol.  Rosewood is a aromatic hydrocarbon called styrene, a derivative of resveratrol.  In the early 1990s, US scientists discovered that resveratrol, found in large quantities in the skin of red grapes, has protective properties against breast cancer and heart disease.
