What is Resveratrol and where does it come from?

Resveratrol is a small polyphenol found in the skin of grapes, which it naturally produces to defend against parasites and toxins ^[1].

Polyphenols are a type of compound found in plants that can offer a variety of health benefits.

Regular consumption of polyphenols is thought to boost brain health, heart health, digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Polyphenols, which are a type of color pigment created by plants, act as antioxidants, which means they can help neutralize free radicals that damage your body’s cells ^[2].

Resveratrol can also be found in peanuts, soy, various berries, Itadori tea (made from Japanese Knotweed) and is particularly abundant in red wine.

How was Resveratrol Discovered?

Resveratrol was first isolated in 1939 by Takaoka from Veratrum grandiflorum O. Loes.

Since its discovery and almost 60 years later, the small polyphenol has undergone huge scientific interest, especially due to the work of Dr David Sinclair, a Harvard Scientist focused on anti aging technologies.

Appearing in over 20,000 research papers, Resveratrol has inspired conferences, chemical derivatives, patents and more.

Resveratrol has been used traditionally to help treat inflammation of the skin, UTI’s, stomach aches and fungal infections.

Lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) levels that are too high helps lessen the chance of developing heart problems.

A study on mice suggested that resveratrol reduced diet induced LDL cholesterol levels and slowed the rate of atherosclerosis progression ^[7].

Because of resveratrol’s antioxidant properties, it may help to lower blood pressure.

A review found that resveratrol may help to lower blood pressure, which in turn reduces the pressure on artery walls when the heart beats ^[8].

Anti-Aging Properties

Many studies have been conducted on Resveratrol and its anti-aging effects, including by top researchers in Harvard.

As we age, the length of our telomeres shorten. Progressive telomere shortening leads to apoptosis (programmed cell death), senescence (loss of a cell’s power of division and growth) and the oncogenic transformation of somatic cells (genetic and epigenetic alterations that affect survival and cell proliferation) [11].

These three things have been associated with shorter telomeres and affect the health and lifespan of a person. They also increase the incidence of disease and lower survival time.

A study on mice showed the positive effects of Resveratrol on aging, and how it dramatically improved telomerase activity, telomere length, the quality and number of oocytes, and age-related gene expression in the ovaries of mice [12].

How do you take Feel Younger® Resveratrol 600mg?

Take one capsule twice a day, preferably 20-30 minutes before a meal.

Any cautions?

Resveratrol has been shown to stop blood clotting in test tubes, so do not take in conjunction with anti blood clotting medications.

Because resveratrol can potentially lower blood pressure, do not take alongside other blood pressure lowering medications.

ALWAYS consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements.
