What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a phytoalexin anti-oxidant that is produced by several plants in particular red grapes and is found in varying quantities in red wine. A number of beneficial health effects have been attributed to resveratrol in non-human species including life-prolonging and anti-aging effects as well as anti-cancer, antiviral, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory benefits. In an article recently published in the NEJM, in Clinical trials, Resveratrol was found to significantly increase the lifespan of yeast and mice. As an antioxidant, resveratrol is believed to provide similar protective benefits for humans.

Resveratrol is a phenolic compound that has been found to have strong antioxidant activity. Plants create resveratrol to protect themselves against the effects of poor growing conditions and severe weather. Resveratrol has been shown to reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Resveratrol may improve health and longevity by mimicking some of the beneficial effects of a calorie restricted diet, the only intervention known to extend life in mammals. Resveratrol has been shown to extend life span in yeast, worms, fruit flies, and mice. Resveratrol shows promise in offsetting the effects of obesity and poor lifestyle choices, and may even help avert disorders related to mitochondrial dysfunction, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Resveratrol helps protect the cardiovascular system by supporting healthy blood lipids, promoting endothelial health, averting blood clots, and preventing heart damage related to ischemia.

Resveratrol Research:

Resveratrol may have important anticancer benefits. In laboratory studies, resveratrol has been found to inhibit the growth of numerous cancers. Scientists have also noted that red wine drinkers suffer a decreased risk of colorectal cancer.

Resveratrol is being researched extensively by the medical community. In recent findings, physicians from Harvard Medical School proved that resveratrol allowed mice to eat a high fat diet yet live as long as those that did not. Resveratrol has recently been in the news quite frequently because new studies on animals have shown that resveratrol supplementation has the same beneficial effects on longevity as a restricted-calorie diet, specifically, up to a 40% increase in life span.
