Stilbenes are a large group of compounds with the C6C2C6 skeleton, in which two aromatic rings are connected by an ethylene bridge. Resveratrol and its structural analog, pterostilbene, are by far the two most widely researched stilbenes in terms of their beneficial bioactivities. However, the bioefficacy of these compounds is greatly reduced when consumed orally due to their poor aqueous solubility, which leads to poor bioavailability. To overcome the limitation, strategies improving their solubility, absorption, and systemic concentration were applied when designing a suitable edible delivery system. This review will summarize the findings from the studies evaluating the oral bioavailability of stilbenes with emphasize on the resveratrol and pterostilbene. It will also include the edible delivery systems currently available and their effect on the oral bioavailability. (c) 2018 BioFactors, 44(1):5-15, 2018
