Summary
Pterostilbene is one of several stilbenes found in certain berries, particularly blueberries,
that have demonstrated pre-clinical benefit to cholesterol, blood pressure, and oxidative
stress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pterostilbene will help control
cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as improve markers for oxidative stress in patients
with dyslipidemia meeting inclusion criteria. The investigators also want to look at the
safety of pterostilbene in these patients.
