Jupiter Neurosciences Highlights Critical Advancement of JOTROL Over Traditional Resveratrol With Breakthrough Bioavailability & CNS-Targeted Science


Jupiter Neurosciences, Inc. spotlights the scientific and clinical advantages of its proprietary resveratrol platform, JOTROL, over conventional resveratrol formulations.

Resveratrol is one of the world’s most researched molecules and has long been studied for its powerful antioxidant, mitochondrial, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, achieving therapeutic benefit has proven elusive due to the molecule’s extremely poor bioavailability and dose-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) side effects.

“Clinical studies have shown that to reach the minimum effective plasma concentration of over 250 ng/mL a patient would need to ingest approximately 5 grams of today’s marketed resveratrol products,” explained Christer Rosén, Chairman and CEO of Jupiter Neurosciences. “At those levels, severe GI issues are nearly guaranteed, effectively halting any realistic therapeutic use.”

JOTROL was developed specifically to overcome these critical limitations. In a Phase 1 clinical trial, JOTROL achieved a nine-fold increase in bioavailability compared to traditional resveratrol, without the GI toxicity seen at high doses. This proprietary formulation enables systemic therapeutic dosing with significantly reduced pill burden and enhanced tolerability.

Key Differentiators:

  • Approximately 9 times higher bioavailability at peak plasma concentration versus naïve resveratrol
  • No GI side effects observed at therapeutic levels
  • Secured intellectual property in the US, EU, China, Japan, and Hong Kong through 2036
  • Demonstrated ability to reach the central nervous system by passing the blood brain barrier, a critical factor for diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and MELAS

JOTROL is currently advancing toward a Phase 2a trial in Parkinson’s Disease, following breakthrough preclinical data in a well-established MPTP mouse model that demonstrated meaningful improvements in motor functions. The same delivery technology is also being used in Jupiter’s Nugevia consumer product line, launching in Q3 2025 with targeted formulations focused on cognitive health (MND), mitochondrial energy (PWR), and skin vitality (GLO).

“This is more than just a formulation. It’s a platform,” added Rosén. “Whether through pharmaceutical trials or premium consumer offerings, JOTROL opens entirely new pathways to address CNS diseases and longevity using the same foundational science.”

As shown in Jupiter’s preclinical and mechanistic studies, resveratrol, and by extension JOTROL, works by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis through AMPK and SIRT1 activation. It also scavenges oxidative radicals and suppresses neuroinflammation. These mechanisms are increasingly recognized as central to the progression of neurodegenerative disease and systemic aging.

Jupiter Neurosciences is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company pursuing a dual-path strategy to address neuroinflammation and promote healthy aging. The company is advancing a therapeutic pipeline targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and rare diseases, while also expanding into the consumer longevity market with its Nugevia product line. Both efforts are powered by JOTROL, Jupiter’s proprietary, enhanced resveratrol formulation that has demonstrated significantly improved bioavailability. Nugevia brings clinical-grade science to the supplement space, supporting mental clarity, skin health, and mitochondrial function. The company’s prescription pipeline is focused broadly on CNS disorders, presently with a Phase 2a in Parkinson’s disease, including indications such as Alzheimer’s Disease, Mucopolysaccharidoses Type I, Friedreich’s Ataxia, and MELAS.

Resveratrol is one of the world’s most extensively researched molecules. Thorough evaluation has shown that for the compound to be effective, it requires a high C-Max (~300 ng/ml of resveratrol in plasma), achievable only with doses exceeding 3 grams using earlier resveratrol products. Poor bioavailability has been a well-documented issue with resveratrol. Doses over 2 grams have been associated with severe gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, which have prevented the compound from receiving regulatory approval for any indication.

Jupiter Neurosciences (JUNS) conducted a Phase 1 study demonstrating that JOTROL achieves over nine times higher bioavailability compared to resveratrol used in earlier clinical trials (eg, Turner et al, MCI/Early Alzheimer’s Disease trial, and Yui et al, Friedreich’s Ataxia trial). The results of this Phase 1 study, which will be cross-referenced in all upcoming JOTROL trials, were published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and AAPS Open in February 2022. JUNS is now advancing JOTROL toward a Phase 2a trial in Parkinson’s Disease.

In addition to its therapeutic applications, JOTROL serves as the foundation for Jupiter’s Nugevia consumer supplement line. By leveraging the same clinically validated delivery technology, Nugevia introduces pharmaceutical-grade bioavailability into the wellness space, offering targeted support for cognitive health, skin vitality, and cellular energy. The Nugevia product line will be launched in Q3 of 2025 through the website Nugevia.com.
