Resveratrol is a 100% natural supplement. It is abundant in the skin, seeds, stems of grapes and the Japanese knotwood plant.
"Resveratrol is a potent anti-inflammatory, which may have powerful effects on cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and stroke," "It is also an antioxidant and can help slow down the process of aging, maintain DNA repair and have an effect on carbohydrate metabolism, which can help insulin sensitivity in diabetes."
Scientists have found that resveratrol - when tested on mice, has effects on free radicals, cell regeneration and insulin-lowering properties. This gives resveratrol incredible promise toward being an effective agent against some of the top age-related diseases, says Dr. Joseph C. Maroon, a neurosurgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and author of "The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life."
Several research studies have shown that Resveratrol significantly modulates biomarkers of bone metabolism, inhibits pro-inflammatory enzymes such as COX-1 and COX-2, and exhibits chemopreventive agents, anticarcinogenic properties, cardioprotective effects, neuroprotective properties, and caloric restrictive behavior.
The key to cellular energy lies within the mitochondria and has been determined to be the foundation of living longer. Resveratrol has shown the ability to increase the number of mitochondria thereby increasing your total daily energy. Studies have shown that Resveratrol promotes an increase in mitochondrial function, which translates into an increase in energy expenditure, improved aerobic capacity, and enhanced sensorimotor function. The key of resveratrol activity’s is the fact that resveratrol activates the Sirtuin Gene which starts creating the SIRT 1 protein in high quantities. It is shown that resveratrol can protect us from neurological diseases like Alzheimer, Huntigton’s disease and more because this amazing molecule is effective against neuronal cell dysfunction and cell death.
Dr. David A. Sinclair, a pathologist at Harvard University, says research shows that resveratrol given to mice seems to mimic the effects of calorie restriction, including healthier arteries, immunity to obesity and less cancer. "It really is the first molecule to have an effect on aging," he says.
