 | What is Resveratrol? Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a natural substance released by plants to protect them from fungus and other microbes, from extreme temperatures and from excessive dampness or drought. Where does Resveratrol come from? Resveratrol is found in small amounts in the following foods: the skin of the red grape, red wine, in peanuts and in Polygonum cuspidatum (a large perennial plant). This plant supplies the highest level of truly active trans-Resveratrol. How can I benefit? Resveratrol is a major manipulator and that’s not a bad thing because Resveratrol manipulates your genes. Resveratrol slows aging of important genes in your brain, your heart and your muscles, which is very beneficial because these genes keep your brain, your heart and other organs younger and well-functioning. Resveratrol also works as a powerful cellular antioxidant putting out the flames of inflammation in a microscopic fashion. Because of this, Resveratrol has demonstrated major ability to help protect your heart, circulation, brain, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid and adrenal glands. |
