Resveratrol: The most effective and best-researched phytonutrient for maintaining and protecting health.
• An all natural powerful antioxidant that protects DNA
• Restores glutathione (our most important antioxidant) levels
• Increases levels of quinone reductase (the liver uses this enzyme to detoxify carcinogens)
• Acts as a beneficial phytoestrogen
• Shown to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) oxidation
• Enhances healing of skin wounds
What is resveratrol?
Resveratrol, found in grapes and wine, is a naturally occurring antioxidant. A number of beneficial health effects, such as antiviral, neuroprotective, anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory and life-prolonging effects have been reported. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and as a constituent of red wine may explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.
Resveratrol is a protective compound produced by red grapes and certain other plants as a defense against parasites. While red wine previously contained 8 to 10 mg resveratrol per litre, there is unfortunately almost no resveratrol in today’s red wine due to widespread use of pesticides. We have, however, managed to find a source of pharmaceutical grade resveratrol, extracted directly from red grapes, which retains the natural balance of all its active compounds: polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanidins and oligoproanthocyanidins (OPCs). This is then enriched with resveratrol extracted from the plant Polygonum cuspidatum. Resveratrol is without doubt the most effective and best-researched phytonutrient you can take to maintain and protect your health.
Why should you take resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a brilliant solution to many age-related health problems:
• Hearth Health: The World Health Organisation suggests that resveratrol single-handedly reduces cardiovascular risk by 40%! Resveratrol is more effective than vitamin E, protecting against a wider range of free radicals to prevent oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the action of thrombin and several other aggregating factors. It promotes production of nitric oxide which relaxes and dilates the arteries. It reduces blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels as well as the intrinsic hypertensive agent endothelin-1.
• Brain Health: Preliminary studies suggest that resveratrol - administered singly, and in combination with other antioxidants - protects the brain against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is known to play a major role in most neurodegenerative diseases.
• Inflammation: A Chinese study recently showed that if you inject resveratrol immediately after an injury, it protects against inflammation of the spinal cord. A study of rats pre-supplemented with resveratrol for 21 days has shown that it improves the prognosis, and reduces the permanent effects of stroke.
• Longevity: According to a study at Harvard Medical School, resveratrol activates a longevity gene in certain strains of yeast and extends life expectancy by 70%! It works in the same way as calorie restriction (the only scientifically-proven way of increasing longevity) by activating SIR genes. Research to date has been restricted to yeasts, flies and nematodes but it’s worth noting that humans also possess these genes.
