Can Resveratrol Rebuild Body Cells?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Larry L. Taylor asked:


Can resveratrol “rebuild” the cells of the body?  This article looks at the facts presented in the most recent studies.  Some of the advertising claims that supplement manufacturers use are not exactly factual.  There is no doubt that resveratrol consumption is good for you, depending on how you consume it, but it is not the only nutrient that you need to protect  your body cells and extend your natural lifespan.

As an antioxidant, resveratrol protects the cells of the body from free radical damage, the primary, but not the only cause of aging.  Other nutrients, such as carnosine are needed to protect the cells from glycation, which is worse than free radical damage, because it causes the formation of toxins, which has a detrimental cascading effect that includes further free radical damage.

 

To date, most of the studies have been conducted using cell lines in the laboratory or animal models.  Some of the information that you will find on the internet is outdated.  Recently, I read one overview stating that more animal studies were needed.  That review was 10 years old and had not been updated or replaced or removed, which is not unusual.

Numerous animal studies have now been conducted, as well as the studies using human volunteers.  One of the major pharmaceutical companies is developing a resveratrol-based drug to treat type II diabetes.  In the future, there may be numerous drugs based on this antioxidant.  For those of us that simply want to protect our long-term health, supplementation is the answer.  The antioxidant occurs naturally in red wine, but drinking more red wine is not the answer, for numerous reasons, including the health of the liver.

What do the studies show?  There are thousands of them.  So, there’s no way to list all of the results here, but I’ll try to cover the basics.

Bone Cell Health—in animal studies, adding resveratrol to the diet increased the animals bone density—in cattle showing degeneration of the spinal discs, the antioxidant slowed the degeneration—reduces inflammation

Brain Cell and Nerve Cell Health—may prove useful in treating Alzheimer’s, as it protects the nerves from free radical damage—beneficial in treating multiple sclerosis in rodents—enhances balance and coordination

Heart Cell Health—improves the function of the heart and reduces cholesterol levels

Cancer Prevention—protects against head, neck, breast, lung and prostate cancer

DNA Damage

According to researchers at Harvard, DNA damage is the “universal” cause of aging in animals.  The DNA within the cells contains numerous genes.  Some of them signal that it is time for the cell to die.  This is necessary when a cancer cell forms.  Sirtuins are molecules within the cells of the body that insure that these genes do not signal the death of healthy cells.  Resveratrol activates sirtuins, preventing the death of healthy cells. 

Resveratrol Supports Body Cell Rebuilding

So, it does not actually “rebuild” cells, it supports your body’s ability to reproduce healthy cells and protects the DNA within the cells from damage.   For supplementation, your best bet is a multi-nutritional supplement that contains resveratrol, carnosine and the basic nutrients that the cells of the body need to function “optimally”.  For more information see my website on Healthy Body Supplements – Larry L.

Resveratrol Use and How it Can Benefit You

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Elizabeth Ruby asked:


Have you ever thought about the benefits of resveratrol use? Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is very powerful at helping to combat diseases. Diseases like cancer, heart problems, and strokes plus other health concerns like fatigue and obesity.

Taking a supplement with resveratrol in it makes sense with today’s health woes lurking around every corner. I belong to a medium sized church with a prayer chain, and it never fails, there is a prayer request in my email box almost daily for someone’s health concern, mainly cancer or stints being put in the heart.

Growing up I belonged to about the same size church in a different city, yet I don’t remember the amount of prayer request for health ills like there is now. It seems like there are more and more diseases attacking more and more people. And I don’t think my part of the country is any different than anywhere else.

Please understand I am not a doctor or a health care professional, so don’t take this as professional medical advice, but as far as I am concerned resveratrol use and other beneficial supplements is necessary to stay healthy and enjoy a long life span.

You may have read red wine is good for your heart. What you may not know is it is the resveratrol in the skin of the red grapes that is one component of the red wine that makes it healthy for you to consume. I am not advocating you get all your resveratrol drinking red wine. I am just pointing out where researchers have found the health benefits come from.

A sure way to get the amount of resveratrol you need every day is by taking a supplement that includes it in the ingredients. The one I take has other great nutrients in it to help combat disease and keep you healthy, like CoQ10, ginkgo biloba, essentials minerals and vitamins, plus other herbal extracts. An added benefit is you get all of them combined for just one low price, as opposed to buying them all separately and paying much more.

Now that you know some information about resveratrol use, check out my web site. You’ll find lots of good health information there concerning nutritional supplements. You’ll also discover which one I use and why I consider it the best and where to get at one low price.



What are the Many Benefits of Resveratrol?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009
Gordon Hall asked:


There may be many benefits of resveratrol, but one that you might find very interesting is that it acts as a “calorie restriction mimetic”.  If you’re not sure what that means, you can learn about it in this article.

For many years, researchers have known that restricting caloric intake in laboratory animals increased their lifespan.  Whether the same effect would be seen in humans has been an area of interest for quite some time and, if so, what the beneficial effects were due to.  Recently, a small study was conducted using human volunteers.  They followed a diet that provided 10-25% fewer calories than the average Western diet for a period of 3-15 years. 

There is no way to determine if the diet increased the participants’ lifespan, but the health benefits were obvious.  They included reduced BMI, very low LDL cholesterol levels, high HDL (good) cholesterol levels, very low triglyceride levels, low blood pressure, very healthy blood glucose levels and low levels of C – reactive protein, a predictor of heart disease.  

The benefits of resveratrol and other calorie restriction mimetics could be all of these. They might also allow you to live a longer, healthier life. 

There are negative effects of an extremely low calorie diet including nutritional deficiencies, muscle wasting, weakness, dizziness, lethargy, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, gall stones, irritability and depression.  All of these drawbacks were noted by participants in the study mentioned above. 

But, we believe that it may be possible to get the positive effects, without the negative ones, by taking nutrients and other supplements that have the same effects as a calorie restricted diet.  We call those things mimetics, because they “mimic” the positive effects seen in caloric restriction.  

The benefits of resveratrol that have been seen in animal studies include healthier glucose, triglyceride, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.  This is why some researchers believe that resveratrol explains the lower incidence of heart disease that is seen in regular red wine drinkers.  High glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and blood pressure levels are hard on the heart.

Nutritional deficiencies will not extend your lifespan and will cause many health problems.  Even deficiencies in the common vitamin D3 have been linked to heart disease, cancer and osteoporosis.  Nutritional deficiencies are on the rise in the US, despite the increasing number of overweight people.

You can get the benefits of resveratrol and reduce your risk of nutritional deficiencies by taking a totally balance multi-nutritional supplement on a daily basis.  The best ones contain appropriate amounts of resveratrol along with over 70 other important nutrients and extracts, many of which are calorie restriction mimetics. 

The supplements were specifically developed in an effort to help people like you and I live longer, healthier lives.  The ingredients are all natural, which is unusual, because most supplement companies use synthetic vitamins.  They’re cheaper, but not as effective.  We can only hope that the long term benefits of resveratrol will be realized in our lives, but there are some benefits that we have seen immediately.

Resveratrol Review-The Truth About This Incredible Nutrient

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


If you are like me, you\’ve probably read many a resveratrol review, and are perhaps finding it a little perplexing with all the different opinions. I hope to straighten a few things out for you here.

It is a fact that it is being hailed as the most promising nutritional discovery in modern times, in part due to the fact it can block cancer at all stages. Most resveratrol reviews you read should have stated this.

It was discovered over 20 years ago, so very new in terms of modern science, being found in the skins of red grapes, blueberries and the highest concentration in the Japanese Knotweed plant. This is the reason red wine is meant to be a good source as it is fermented longer with grape skins.

More research is coming to light all the time including how it can help protect against heart disease, Alzheimer\’s, diabetes and very importantly, extending life.

Many a resveratrol review does state what a powerful antioxidant it is, helping to mop up free radicals that can do so much damage. It is these that are responsible for cancers, loss of brain function and the aging process.

It seems it can turn of damaged cells, preventing them from becoming cancerous, while leaving the healthy cells alone, something that chemotherapy doesn’t do.

One thing that alarms me are the resveratrol reviews that state wild claims about how it can help you lose a ton of weight, seemingly without having to diet  at all! These are unfounded because although it can help as part of a good dieting regime by helping to burn calories and boosting your metabolism, it is no wonder weight loss aid.

These types of resveratrol review just detract from the main incredible powers that this wonder nutrient has.

Now I mentioned wine as a potential source, and while it is good, you would need to drink over a liter a day to start to gain any significant benefit! The obvious health problems that this could lead to counter anything gained.

Most experts agree that it is best taken combined with other synergetic nutrients in a multi supplement.

This is because when combined with green tea and turmeric extract for example, its ability to fight cancer, aging and others is greatly enhanced. You also get the benefits of all the other ingredients which help to promote health and vitality.

I hope this resveratrol review has been helpful to you and that you will make it a point to incorporate this wonder nutrient into your daily routine, and who knows, it could help you live a longer and healthier life!

Trying to Find a Resveratrol From Grape Supplement?

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Gordon Hall asked:


Shopping for a resveratrol from grape supplement can be frustrating.  There are lots of different supplements on the market, but not many good ones.  Here’s a short review of some of the products that are available.

The Liquids   

There are several liquid brands.  Typically, they are marketed as “red wine alternatives” or “resveratrol for the non-drinker”.  Research has shown that the levels of trans-resveratrol in the bloodstream do not rise significantly when drinking red wine.  The same would be true with a liquid resveratrol from grape supplement. 

In fact, most researchers are now saying that the beneficial health effects of regular red wine consumption could not be due to the trans-resveratrol content, because the content is too low.  They believe, instead, that the beneficial effects are due to the combination of phytochemicals, as well as the alcohol, that is found in red wine.  Most healthcare professionals believe that moderate amounts of alcohol (1 or 2 drinks per day) are good for you, as long as you don’t have a drinking problem or other health problems. 

The Powders

The reason that a liquid resveratrol from grape supplement would not raise the levels found in the blood is because digestive processes (stomach acids, enzymatic activity, etc) breaks the compound down before it gets to the upper intestine, where it can pass through and enter the blood.  Powders would be broken down in the same manner and would not increase bloodstream levels.

The Pills

Researchers have tested uncoated tablets and found the same results.  There is limited bio-availability of this compound.  The same is true of other nutrients, such as SAM-e.  When they hit the stomach, acid breaks them down and they never make it to a point where they can be effectively released into the bloodstream.  Basically, they are worthless.

Now, if a pill has a good enteric coating, then it will pass through the stomach with the nutrients intact.  When the pill reaches the upper intestine, it disintegrates, if the appropriate enzymes are included in the tablet.  The nutrients are released, they pass through the walls or the upper intestine and the body may begin to use them as needed.

If a resveratrol from grape supplement does not have an enteric coating and include the appropriate enzymes, it is worthless.

Your Best Choice

Your best choice for supplementation is one that includes essential vitamins and minerals, in the most natural form.  The best value for the money is a product that contains a wide array of amino acids and antioxidants, packaged in an enteric coating to protect the nutrients from stomach acid. 

You can reduce your frustration by researching effective supplements online, rather than trying to stand in a store and read all of those labels.  Most supplements do not work as they should, because the manufacturers do not use the best form of the nutrient or the method of delivery is ineffective.  You can shop with confidence for a resveratrol from grape supplement, as long as you know what to look for.  Hopefully, you now have the info that you need. If you have a minute to spare, please take a look at my website now.



Resveratrol Recommended Dosage-A Guide To Finding The Right Balance

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


If you are like me, you probably find it bewildering the different resveratrol recommended dosage levels that you find. Well the truth is there are no set levels to work with, only guides.

Many companies out there will have you believe that if you take 200mg a day, you will lose weight overnight and the list goes on.

Resveratrol is a natural and wonderful nutrient, and no side effects are known to date, so you cannot overdose. But it is important to find a quality supplement that uses natural 50% trans resveratrol, as this is the most active type.

Resveratrol recommended dosage can only be estimated but from my research 20-50mg a day for adults seems to be the norm. It will perform even better if it is combined with other synergistic ingredients, like ginkgo biloba and green tea extract for example.

This is by far the most effective method as the combination of other natural nutrients will provide far more benefits than a stand-alone pill could ever achieve, and help to prevent a greater number of potential threats to your health.

You may not notice the effects immediately when taking the resveratrol recommended dosage, but if the research is right, and millions of dollars are now going into it, it could really help you to live a healthier and longer life.

If taken with a quality multi supplement, you will quickly notice things like improved vision, sharper memory and more energy as I have, differences you would not get from a single resveratrol dosage.

The Japanese have long known about it healing powers, getting it locally from the Knotweed plant and now we here in the West are finally waking up to the awesome powers of this nutrient.

The future certainly looks bright  as it is already being linked to preventing cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer\’s and heart disease to name but a few.

If you get the right resveratrol recommended dosage, in the right supplement, your future health can only benefit immensely, and many serious health problems can potentially be avoided.

The Best Resveratrol Sources And How To Find Them

Monday, August 31st, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Let\’s face it, you have probably heard a lot about resveratrol in the press these days, but what are the best resveratrol sources and why?

It is found in natural foods and in dietary supplements. The most famous source is in red wine, after the media told us it was now a healthy drink! That is true apart from the side effects of the alcohol.

The fact that it is found in red wine and is one of the best resveratrol sources is because it is found in grape skins, both green and white. Red wine has a high content as the grapes are fermented in their skins for a longer period of time.

It is also present in blueberries and peanuts, though to a smaller extent. The most potent source comes from the Japanese Knotweed plant, and it is this that is used in many quality supplements.

Resveratrol is being hailed as possibly the best compound found in modern times to combat cancer and the aging process and more and more discoveries are being made all the time. It seems it really can help us to live longer!

Experts agree that the most effective way and best of the resveratrol sources is to take it in a combined health supplement. When combined with other synergistic ingredients, it will deliver significantly more health benefits than if taken alone. This is synergy at work.

For example it reacts well ginger and green tea extract and this helps it enhance its ability to help reverse the aging process.

You should also ensure that these resveratrol sources only use natural ingredients, with at least 20mg of the natural 50% trans type, which is the most active one, and will give the most benefits.

You would need to drink well over a liter of the right red wine a day to gain the benefits you get from the supplement! Perhaps a few could manage it, but for the rest of us, supplements give you the peace of mind knowing you are getting the correct dosage with no side effects.

Though still relatively young in discovery terms, this wonder nutrient has a long way to go and a lot to prove, and I hope this article on resveratrol sources will spur you on to include it in your daily routine, and hopefully live a longer, healthier life.

The French Paradox Resveratrol Story—How True Is It?

Monday, August 31st, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


I am sure you are familiar with the French paradox resveratrol stories that abound after the now infamous 60 minutes program was aired in the early nineties.  But is there any truth to it?

The term French paradox was coined by Dr. Serge Renaud, a scientist from Bordeaux University in France in 1992, after he discovered the French had a much lower instance of heart disease even though they consumed a similar amount of saturated fat as Americans.

The French paradox resveratrol connection was identified and experts agree that this wonder nutrient could hold the key, but many other factors are now being questioned. One thing is for sure, since the programmed was aired, red wine sales grew by 44%!

Since then, although we now know of the numerous benefits including protection against cancer, heart disease and potentially increasing our life expectancy, it seems that the French Paradox is influenced by factors like exercise, and climate also.

Though a glass of red wine a day may be beneficial, you would need over a liter of the correct red wine to start to see any effect and that would lead to all sorts of alcohol related diseases in the future.

Nowadays, because of the French paradox resveratrol stories companies are selling red wine pills, resveratrol supplements and the like, but many of these are low quality and synthetic and will not deliver the full benefits to you.

Experts agree that the best way is to take a natural multi health supplement, where you get the benefit of other nutrients and herbs that you couldn’t get from your diet.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with one another. This a far better solution than drinking excessive wine like the French paradox resveratrol cases suggests!

Another important factor is delivery.  

Generally a cheap coating or none at all is put around a pill, and much of the goodness is lost because of stomach acid. Look for one that has a natural enteric coating allowing it to pass through the stomach and into the upper intestine where you will receive the full benefits.

This is not the cheapest option, but well worth it in terms of your health.

 In the long term you know you are helping to protect yourself from many degenerative diseases and in the short term you will have increased energy and the peace of mind that you are doing the best you can to stay feeling young and healthy.

So I guess the jury is still out on the French paradox resveratrol story, with both sides making their point!

Resveratrol Use and How it Could Literally Save Your Life

Sunday, August 30th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Resveratrol use is on the increase these days as more and more people become aware of its amazing qualities, helping to prevent cancer for starters.

It has been proven to be effective in the fight against cancer due to it being a powerful antioxidant, helping to mop up the free radicals that can damage our cells.  

Another benefit of resveratrol use is in the fight against diabetes, where recent studies have shown it to significantly reduce the effects of this common disease.

The list of things that resveratrol can help with seems endless, including protecting against heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and reversing the signs of aging.

It is one of the reasons for the so called “French Paradox,” as shown on CBS, whereby even though French people have similar high fat diets to Americans, they have a significantly lower level of heart attacks. This has been put down to the amount of red wine they drink, which contains resveratrol.

Despite these revelations, most experts agree that to benefit fully, resveratrol use should be applied with a variety of nutrients that combine together synergistically, to protect the cells from aging and disease.

Multi supplements are the best way forward, and offer the best value, as long as the manufacturers uses an effective delivery method, like an enteric coating, whereby you can get all of the benefits of the individual ingredients.

 It may take a while to see and feel the health benefits derived from resveratrol as they are subtle, but you can be safe in the knowledge it is helping to keep you healthy and younger looking as the years pass!

It is good to know that resveratrol combines well with green tea and turmeric, which will increase its potency and therefore its effects, so take care to choose a supplement wisely.

With a good one, you will feel the difference very soon, like improved energy and vision for example, benefits that wouldn’t be possible through resveratrol use alone.

Resveratrol Rebuilds Heart Cells-Fact Or Fiction?

Sunday, August 30th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


One of the many things that some companies are now saying is that resveratrol rebuilds heart cells. However, although it is shown to be good for your heart, can it actually rebuild the cells?

From all the research I have seen, it seems it is an unproven claim. Tests have been carried out on mice and have a way to go yet before a claim that resveratrol rebuilds heart cells can be substantiated.

That being said, it can be extremely good for your heart, as the French Paradox shows. This is whereby the French consume a lot of resveratrol rich red wine and have a lower instance of heart disease than Americans, even though their diet is similarly high in fat.

Research has shown that resveratrol is an anti inflammatory and can prevent fatty deposits building up in the arteries which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Experts have also found that it can lower your bad (LDL) cholesterol due to its powerful antioxidant properties. So it positively helps your heart, but not in the way some claim.

I think the most interesting attribute is that it is being hailed as one of the most powerful substances ever found to reverse the signs of aging, and perhaps even increasing our lifespan.

So even if the claim that resveratrol rebuilds heart cells isn’t accurate, this wonder nutrient has many other incredible properties as you can see. I’m sure the list will increase with time!

Experts agree to get the maximum benefit you should not drink excessive amounts of red wine but to take it in a combined health supplement.

If you take it with other nutrients, when these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with one another.

Most manufacturers don’t put a special coating on the pill, so much is lost due to the actions of stomach acid, and so even if resveratrol rebuilds heart cells, you wouldn’t get the benefit unless it reached the bloodstream.

What you need to look for is one with a natural enteric coating, which means it passes through the stomach and is released in the upper intestine, where all the nutrients can benefit you.

I firmly believe in the future we will hear some incredible things about this wonder nutrient. GlaxoSmithKline has already invested nearly a billion dollars into more research, so that’s very promising to say the least.

But make no mistake about it, you can get many of the benefits already, here and now, if you choose the right supplement with care, and although the fact that resveratrol rebuilds heart cells is not yet proven, it may help you live a longer and healthier life.

Resveratrol And Cancer-Could This Wonder Nutrient Really Save Lives?

Saturday, August 29th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


It seems like every 50 years or so a new substance is discovered that rocks the scientific community and so has the link between resveratrol and cancer prevention been proven?

The short answer is an overwhelming yes! It is being hailed as one of the most important nutritional discoveries of modern time.

For many years people wondered at the \”French Paradox,\” whereby the French have a similar high fat diet to Americans and smoke heavily, but have a far lower instance of cancer and heart disease.

This was found to be down to the fact that they drink a lot of red wine, which contains resveratrol and cancer experts suddenly became very excited.

It is found in high quantities in the skins of grapes, hence in red wine, blueberries and one of the most potent sources is the Japanese Knotweed plant.

Resveratrol has been shown to stop cancer at all three stages, initiation, promotion and progression due to it being a very powerful antioxidant.

 Antioxidants are needed at very high levels for optimum health and disease prevention in humans. Antioxidants prevent and repair cell damage caused by free radicals in the body. Free radicals are atoms with unpaired electrons and cause havoc in the human body by damaging cells and causing disease and aging.

It seems that it has the ability to turn off and kill unhealthy cells which could turn cancerous, while leaving the healthy cells alone.

This is in contrast to chemotherapy treatment which kills the healthy cells as well, so resveratrol and cancer curing could have a very real future, and many millions of dollars are currently being invested to develop it, and even  a major pharmaceutical company is now investing heavily too.

It can stop or inhibit many types of cancer including lung, stomach, pancreatic and breast, as well as helping prevent many other diseases like heart disease, diabetes and reversing the aging process.

Experts agree the best way to take it is in supplement form, combined with other nutrients to increase its effects.

For example resveratrol is synergetic with turmeric and green tea extract and this enhances its cancer fighting abilities.

A good natural multi supplement can bring many other benefits if it has the right blend of synergistic ingredients. Resveratrol and cancer prevention is just one of many diseases that could be prevented.

We would all like to live a longer, healthier life and that seems like a possibility now with amazing nutrients like this one, and taken with other beneficial ones, we can really be responsible for our own futures, and avoid many of these increasingly common and deadly diseases.

Resveratrol and cancer prevention is just the beginning.

The 3 Large Reasons everybody appears to be Lining Up to Order Resveratrol

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Rex Marsh asked:


Recently ,everybody has been talking about new additions that are based a formula around Resveratrol.If you’ve not been following the fresh medical reports ( don’t feel bad the majority of the folk don’t ) then you’ll have missed the culmination of all the contemporary studies on Resveratrol.If you have been brooding about getting in line to order Resveratrol then it’s likely been based basically on latest interviews and articles including The Oprah Show and studies by the Mayo Surgery and articles on CNN Stories.

Resveratrol has been counseled to control and help in 3 major areas : Life Extension / Aging, Cancer Prevention, and Neurodegenerative sicknesses. In short lived, these are the five major reasons people have been looking to order Resveratrol.

Reason number 1 to order Resveratrol – Life Extension / Aging

The year 2006 was first documented successful use of Resveratrol to increase life outlook and decreasing the physical is influencing of aging. It was regarded as a test done by a grouping of Italian scientists who concluded that when taken, beginning at a tender age, that there had been a rise in life outlook. More fresh studies have also concluded the health benefits also decrease the physical external appearances of aging.



Reason number 2 to order Resveratrol – Cancer Prevention


The first revealed study was as early as 1997 quoting Resveratrol as a system of cancer prevention.Since that time there were numerous studies on this issue. The base conclusion has been that Resveratrol can help whenever it can contact an expansion. At that point, skin cancer and stomach cancers have reported the top rate of success.

Reason number 3 to order Resveratrol – Neurodegenerative sickness

In 2008, a study at the Weill Medical School at Cornell School concluded that Resveratrol may help in reducing plaque formation in the brain. This could be a major condition of Alzheimer’s Sickness and other Neurodegenerative sicknesses.

These are just two of massive reasons that the majority are quickly jumping on the Resveratrol bandwagon. Therefore far there were no serious flaws to using Resveratrol.Seeing the successful testing over the decade it would appear that Resveratrol, and its many uses starts to come to fruition. Hurry up and get in line to order Resveratrol today.

Resveratrol – A supplement showing great promise

Friday, August 14th, 2009
Michael Jenkins asked:


With so many supplements out on the market it is very difficult to know which ones work and which ones are simply marketing and false promises.  It is always good to check if any clinical trials have been conducted and what the purity is of each ingredient.  Fortunately Australia has quite high standards to conform to in terms of supplements and so it is important to check that supplements have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the regulatory authority for all pharmaceuticals and health supplements in Australia

Resveratrol is a supplement that is show great properties for general health, anti-aging and weight loss.  However, make sure you use trans-resveratrol as this is its organic version which the body can readily absorb.

Resveratrol is naturally found in grape skin and helps partially explain the beneficial effects of red wine.  The resveratrol compound is a high potent anti-oxidant.  Anti-oxidants have been shown to absorb free radicals in the body and stop the decay of cells within the body.

Scientists have discovered some proteins which control the aging process.  Some of our genes play a key role in how our cells age.  By searching for molecules that control the aging of genes a compound was found, being Resveratrol.  Testings on rats showed that those on resveratrol lived 30% longer and had much greater health.  They were also fed higher calorie diets however did not gain extra weight.  Other scientists are suggesting that resveratrol can be used to treat diabetes and Alzheimers diesease.

Many people have also had similar success with resveratrol supplements.  In a 60 minutes special, Harvard Medical School Researcher Dr David Sinclair was interviewed over the amazing results around Resveratrol.  After his human trials on 200 people he said that resveratrol should ‘deliver at least another 10 to 15 years of robust health’. Further trials are underway, and many people wait for the results with eager anticipation as there is much promise around the anti aging supplement that is resveratrol.



Resveratrol And Weight Loss- Is There Any Truth To It?

Friday, August 14th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


You may have read about this recently, how resveratrol and weight loss are connected, and many companies are now touting it as the next big weight loss supplement, but is it true?

From my research I would have to say no, especially as no tests have been done on humans, only mice. However, even if it is not the next big thing, resveratrol and weight loss are connected it seems.

It appears that it can be an appetite suppresser, due to its high antioxidant content, and help to speed up your metabolism, burning off more calories. So it will go a little way to helping as part of a good dieting regime.

 How much resveratrol do you need to lose weight is what I see many people on the internet asking, and why there are many unscrupulous companies telling them they need 300mg or 500mg a day, just to sell them something.

It would be a shame if this amazing nutrient was given the wrong image, as it is currently being thought of as the most promising anti-aging compound ever found. Although relatively new on the scene, high hopes for cancer prevention, diabetes and even Alzheimer\’s are seen as its potential. So don\’t just think of resveratrol and weight loss, think instead of a longer healthier life.

So when people ask how much resveratrol do you need to lose weight, I say instead ask what else can this nutrient do for you!

The most beneficial way to take it is in the form of a multi supplement, combining it with other synergetic ingredients, as so greatly enhancing its powers.

For example resveratrol combines well with green tea extract, which is also known and proven to aid weight loss and also a powerful antioxidant itself. Taking these together with other nutrients would give you better results.

As I said earlier to the question how much resveratrol do you need to lose weight, it is not possible to answer and there really are no quick fixes. Changing your eating habits for the long term and regular exercise is the way most people are successful, resveratrol and weight loss are only a small part of the puzzle.

For example, more than 80% of people who go on a diet, after initially losing weight, end up putting back on more than they originally lost.

In conclusion then it seems that resveratrol and weight loss are connected, but only to a small extent, but that taking it as a multi-supplement can bring you many health benefits, and hopefully help you live a longer and healthier life than you otherwise would have.

Does Resveratrol Work And What Are The Health Benefits?

Ric Hawkins asked:


Let’s face it, we all want to look younger and stay healthy, so when people ask me does resveratrol work, I have to assume it’s for one of those reasons, and there is much to be excited about.

It is only in recent year that resveratrol has come to light, especially after the stories about red wine and how it was now a healthy drink!

 It is true that it contains some of this nutrient in it, but they are small and the negative effects of the alcohol cancel any benefits, so does resveratrol work via wine, the answer is only to a small degree.

It has been proven to fight cancer at all stages, with some dramatic results thus far.  In studies it has also been shown to help protect against heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s.

Perhaps the most fascinating revelation is that it is being hailed as one of the most powerful substances in modern times to help fight the effects of aging by actually slowing it down and even reversing it.

How does resveratrol work in connection with anti aging?

It seems that it is due to its powerful antioxidant powers it helps to eliminate free radicals, which are unstable atoms caused in part by pollution, sunlight, and our bodies natural burning of fat, that can lead to cancer, aging, and brain degeneration.

The pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline has recently invested nearly as billion dollars into resveratrol research to develop a variety of solutions. A sign of things to come, I’m sure!

To have a simple nutrient being able to accomplish so much is quite remarkable. Who doesn’t want to look and feel younger? And what is the best way to take it?

Experts now agree that it is best taken as part of a multi supplement, to gain the maximum benefits.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with each other.

What does resveratrol work best with? It combines well with green tea and ginkgo biloba extract for starters, helping to improve the prevention of many diseases and improving memory and energy levels.

So I hope you can see the incredible benefits to be had and will make a point to include it in your diet, in supplement form, and who knows, you may well live a longer and healthier life!

So does resveratrol work? Most definitely!

What Is Resveratrol And How Could It Save Your Life?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


What is resveratrol seems to be a popular question these days since CBS did their 60 minutes program on it, and rightly so. And with the correct resveratrol dosage and combination, this nutrient could literally help to save your life.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by certain plants to protect against environmental stresses. Antioxidants help fight against cancer and the aging process among others, by mopping up free radicals.

Free radicals are unstable atoms caused in part by pollution, sunlight, and our bodies natural burning of fat that can lead to cancer, aging, and also brain degeneration.

 Another good question as well as what is resveratrol, is where does it come from? Good everyday sources, as you may know, are red wines, Spanish in particular.

The other main ones are red grape skins (hence the wine!), blueberries and peanuts. One of the most potent sources is from the Japanese Knotweed bush, and this is what is used in high quality supplements, helping to give you the best resveratrol dosage.

The numbers of health issues that it can help with seem endless, including protecting against heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and reversing the signs of aging leading to a longer healthier life.

More is being found out all the time about this incredible nutrient, so watch this space! It is already being hailed as one of the most significant substances ever found to reverse the signs of aging.

With regards to resveratrol dosage, a general guide for adults is 20 -40mg per day.  This would be the equivalent of well over a liter of the correct red wine every day! So another answer to the question of what is resveratrol good for maybe is getting a little too tipsy if you get it from red wine!

The best way to avoid this is to take it in a combined health supplement. I say combined because when you have many synergetic nutrients working together, this greatly enhances the overall health benefits compared to if you took them separately.

 What is resveratrol and other synergetic ingredients going to do for your health in the future?

It may take a while to see and feel the health benefits that come from this nutrient as they are very subtle, but you can be secure in the knowledge it is helping to keep you healthy and younger looking as the years go by!

However with a good multi supplement you will see and feel differences very quickly including improved mental clarity and improved vision among others, benefits you could not get solely from a single resveratrol dosage.

So in closing, I hope I have gone a little way in answering your question what is resveratrol and also hope you will take advantage of its amazing powers, especially when combined in synergy with other nutrients. It could very well end up saving your life.

Resveratrol From Grape Supplement- Is This The Best Solution For Increased Health?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Let’s be honest, most of us have heard that resveratrol from grape supplement is the best way forward, as grapes have one of the highest concentrations of it. But there are better, superior options to be had.

First off, the best way to get the most potent extract is not to get resveratrol from grape supplement, but from Japanese Knotweed extract. This plant has the highest concentration of resveratrol on the planet.

You should also check that the product only uses natural synergetic ingredients, with at least 20mg of natural 50% trans-resveratrol, which is the most active type.

These days experts agree that taking resveratrol in extract form alone is not as beneficial as taking it with other synergetic nutrients.

To illustrate, resveratrol combines well with ginkgo biloba and green tea extract, and this enhances its ability to reverse the signs of aging, for example.

This combination can also be very beneficial in the prevention of many forms of cancer, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s.

You don’t want to receive the benefits of it on its own, but rather in a product that has many nutrients in it that work synergistically with one another.

Another important consideration if you are going down the supplement route is to see if it has what is known as a natural enteric coating. Only a few of the high quality ones will use this, as it stops the destructive actions of stomach acid by allowing it to pass through to the upper intestine where it will have the greatest benefits.

So, as you can see, there is more to resveratrol from grape supplement than meets the eye!

The beauty of using a quality multi supplement is that you are not wasting hundreds of dollars a year or more on many different pills and remedies, and you are getting the powerful benefits that many natural synergistic ingredients will have on your health.

If you are serious about looking after your health for the long- term, and want to potentially avoid many of the diseases that come with the aging process, forget about getting resveratrol from grape supplement and focus instead on a high quality natural alternative.

Health Benefits of Resveratrol

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Dane Cramer asked:


What is Resveratrol

Resveratrol is becoming a more popular supplement these days. It’s a supplement that promotes antioxidant health by fighting against the effects of free radical damage. As a powerful antioxidant, a typical 50mg capsule or soft-gel supplies more resveratrol than you would receive from a typical bottle of red wine, and without the calories or side effects of alcohol. Some other sources of resveratrol include; red and purple grape juice, cocoa and dark chocolate products.

Resveratrol Side Effects

One study has theorized that it may stimulate the growth of human breast cancer; however, other studies have found that resveratrol actually fights breast cancer.

Some studies suggest that resveratrol slows the development of blood vessels, which suppresses tumors, but also slows healing. Some retailers advise that it may interfere with oral contraceptives and that women who are pregnant or intending to become pregnant should not use the product or to be taken by children or young adults under eighteen.

Resveratrol Origin

Resveratrol supplements are produced by chemical synthesis primarity from the Japanese knotweed.

Resveratrol for Anti-Aging

Research has shown anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering and other beneficial cardiovascular effects on mice. Resveratrol also extended the life of yeast, fruit flies, nematode worms and short living fish but it did not increase the life span of mice.

Using a short-lived fish with a median life span of nine weeks, they found that a maximal dose of resveratrol increased the median lifespan by about 50% and the fish also showed better swimming activity and better ability to avoid an unpleasant stimulus.

Resveratrol for Cancer

Scientists reported that topical resveratrol applications prevented the skin cancer development in mice treated with a carcinogen. There have since been dozens of studies of the anti-cancer activity of resveratrol in animal models. No results of human clinical trials for cancer have been reported. However, clinical trials to investigate the effects on colon cancer and melanoma (skin cancer) are currently recruiting patients.

Resveratrol for Alzheimer’s

Recently researchers reported that dietary supplementation with resveratrol significantly reduced plaque formation in animal brains, a component of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. This is theorized that this is because resveratrol has the ability to chelate (remove) copper. It is also theorized that resveratrol may eventually be used to help reduce aging changes in the brain.

The Connection Between Resveratrol and Prostate Cancer

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Elizabeth Ruby asked:


Are you or do you know someone who is facing prostate cancer? Even though cancer is still a deadly disease it is not as frightening as it once was. There are many survivors of cancer. I know several survivors of prostate cancer and reading the research on resveratrol and prostate cancer gives me hope that if my husband, brothers or other loved ones get prostate cancer they too will live through it.

Resveratrol is a phytochemical contained in red grapes. This substance has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth, partly because of its antioxidant properties from the phytochemicals.

Further resveratrol prostate cancer research shows a diet high in phytochemicals in Asian men may attribute to the low risk of developing prostate cancer. Eating a diet rich with plant based foods helps to prevent cancer. Men with family members who have had prostate cancer should be kept well informed of the relationship between resveratrol and prostate cancer, so they can help stop the cancer before it begins or stop its growth if they already have it.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have discovered in their resveratrol prostate cancer study that when male mice were fed resveratrol they showed an 87 percent reduction in their risk of developing prostate tumors that contained the worst kind of cancer.

You may ask how is this resveratrol prostate cancer research applicable to humans? The amount of resveratrol, used in the study with the mice would be equivalent to the amount found in one bottle of red wine. I am by no means suggesting you go out and drink a bottle of red wine. That would not be beneficial to your health at all.

The best way to get the amount of resveratrol you need is by taking a dietary supplement that contains the extract. I take a nutritional supplement that contains this cancer-fighting ingredient. It also contains other great substance like CoQ10 and ginkgo biloba along with essential vitamins and minerals.

So if you or a loved one wants to take advantage of the resveratrol and prostate cancer connection, check out my web site to find this great supplement. There is also a lot of information about nutritional supplements on there. Do it today. Reading all you can about maintaining good health or improving not so good health is the best thing you can do for yourself.



Good News For Resveratrol And Prostate Cancer Prevention

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


You may have heard recently about resveratrol and prostate cancer prevention in the media, as it is being tipped as a major force for the future in the fight against cancer.

This amazing nutrient is found in nature, with high concentrations in Japanese Knotweed, red grape skins, blueberries and peanuts. This is why resveratrol prostate cancer studies have found that red wine is a good source if taken in enough quantities, as the grape skins are fermented longer.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have announced the results of a study in which mice that were fed resveratrol were 87% less likely to develop the most deadly form of prostate cancer (compared with mice not fed with it).

This is good news for resveratrol and prostate cancer prevention and furthermore these studies showed that of the mice that did then get prostate cancer, they were 48% less likely to suffer from a serious tumour.

It has been proven to fight cancer in all three stages: initiation, promotion and progression, which is quite a big deal seeing as though we are only just getting to grips with this nutrient.

The main reason for this is that it is a very powerful antioxidant, which is proven not only to fight cancer but also reverse the aging process. In fact, it is being hailed as one of the most exciting substances ever found to aid the extension of life and slow aging.

 So it is not only the resveratrol and prostate cancer link which is cause all the excitement but many others too such as helping with Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

All this is especially great news for men, that we can potentially fight off this increasingly common disease.

So apart from consuming copious amounts of red wine, how can we get the benefits of resveratrol?

Today, the most effective way is in the form of a combined health supplement, but make sure they only use natural synergetic ingredients, with at least 20mg of natural 50% trans-resveratrol, which is the most active type.

For example, resveratrol combines well with green tea extract among others, and it is this beneficial interaction or synergy that greatly amplifies its power to fight cancer, and many other diseases.

In closing I hope that this info on resveratrol and prostate cancer has highlighted what this amazing nutrient can do, especially when taken in a multi health supplement.

 Perhaps in the future, as we become more and more aware, we could help to eradicate this deadly disease by taking preventative steps, rather than looking for a cure.

The Benefits Of Resveratrol Use

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Tara Mathews asked:


Most people have never heard of resveratrol let alone know what resveratrol use is all about. In the last few years it has become much more popular because of reports made by various new agencies. There are only a few plants that contain it. It is found in red grapes, red wine and Japanese knotweed root.

Although it is found in red wine, that may not be the best way to consume it. First, you would have to drink a fair bit of wine to get any of the resveratrol benefits. The best way to get the nutrients into your bloodstream is to take a supplement that contains resveratrol along with numerous other vitamins and minerals.

If you are taking a multi-vitamin supplement then you should make sure it has an enteric coating. Stomach acid can break down the nutrients and make them unavailable for use in the body. This is why the enteric coating is very important.

Another reason for the increase in resveratrol use is that it is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help to repair and prevent damage to the skin cells. Antioxidants help to repair damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are chemical molecules that move around the body causing damage to skin cells.

Resveratrol use works better when combined with other nutrients such as grape seed, amino acids, green tea extract, manganese and numerous other very effective minerals and vitamins. All the nutrients and vitamins work in synergy together, which is why it is so effective.

Resveratrol use is recommended for anyone who could be at risk of developing type II diabetes. In addition, people who have already been diagnosed can also benefit from this nutrient. Research is continuing in this field as well.

Try to avoid using synthetic versions of resveratrol or synthetic versions of any drug for that matter. While maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is important to combine healthy eating, exercise and effective multi-vitamins. The supplement should contain numerous effective nutrients and vitamins that work in synergy together.

If you would like more information on resveratrol use and multi-vitamin supplements that contain this specific nutrient, then please visit my website today.



All Worries Related to Diet Have Come to an End With the Resveratrol Supplements

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Adam Trevorz asked:


Nutritional supplement, is a preparation intended to supply nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or amino acids, that are missing or are not consumed in sufficient quantity in a person’s diet. Some countries define dietary supplements as foods, while in others they are defined as drugs.

Resveratrol Supplements contain vitamins or dietary minerals are recognized by the highest authority on food standards, as a category of food.The Resveratrol supplements consist of dietary ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanical and amino acids.

a dietary substance for use by people to supplement the diet by increasing the total dietary intake, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combination of any of the above Furthermore, Resveratrol supplements also confirms to the criteria like it is intended for ingestion in pill, capsule, tablet, powder or liquid form. The Resveratrol supplements are not represented for use as a conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or diet.

Pursuant to the DSHEA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements as foods, and not as drugs. While pharmaceutical companies are required to prove the safety or effectiveness of their products, until recently supplement manufacturers were not, and the FDA could take action only after a dietary supplement had been proven harmful.

The DSHEA, passed in 1994, was the subject of lobbying efforts by the manufacturers of dietary supplements. After several years of intense efforts, manufacturers, experts in nutrition, and legislators, acting in a conscientious alliance with consumers at the grassroots level, have moved successfully to bring common sense to the treatment of nutritional supplements under regulation and law.

The researchers found that a majority of Americans supported pre-marketing approval by the FDA, increased oversight of harmful supplements, and greater scrutiny of the truthfulness of supplement label claims.

To maintain the product’s status as a dietary supplement, the label and labeling must be consistent with the provisions in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.

Labeling refers to the label as well as accompanying material that is used by a manufacturer to promote and market a specific product. Our Resveratrol supplement is aware of all such rules and regulations.

Resveratrol supplements are demonstrated to be safe, both in quantity and quality. Some vitamins are essential in small quantities but dangerous in large quantities, notably Vitamin A. Consequently, only those supplements that have been proven to be safe may be sold without

prescription.

Nutritional supplements were originally considered as dietary supplements for people who had heightened requirements for some normal dietary components Later, they were employed as preventive medicines against chronic diseases.

Grapes Contain Resveratrol—But Is This The Best Source?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Let’s face it, we have all heard the stories about how red wine is good for you now! But did you know that grapes contain resveratrol, and hence why it exists in wine?

Red wine is fermented for longer with the grape skins and therefore has a higher level, though you would need over a liter a day to see any small benefits, and the alcohol amount consumed will lead to other health issues as you can imagine!

Grapes contain resveratrol primarily in their skins, seeds and the pomace, and it is also found in blueberries and peanuts, though to a lesser extent.

We should all be thinking about how to include this wonder nutrient in our diets, as the list is growing all the time about what it is capable of, including preventing heart disease, lowering cholesterol and even increasing our lifespan.

However, eating handfuls of grapes all day may not appeal to you, and you will not receive enough to get the maximum benefits, even though grapes contain resveratrol.

The most effective method to get the most potent extract is not to get resveratrol from grapes, but from Japanese Knotweed extract. This plant has the highest concentration of it on the planet.

The Japanese have long known about its medicinal and healing properties, it is only now in the West we are starting to wake up to it as a potential cure for many diseases. In fact resveratrol is being hailed as the most significant substance found in modern times to reverse the effects of aging.

This is due to it being such a powerful antioxidant, cleaning up the free radical cells which can harm our healthy cells, without harming the body in any way.

So what is the best way to incorporate it into your daily routine? Most experts agree that taking it as part of a multi supplement is the most effective way, because as I said even though grapes contain resveratrol, it just not practical.

 My advice would be to look for a product that only uses natural synergetic ingredients, with at least 20mg of natural 50% trans-resveratrol, which is the most active type.

You don’t want to receive the benefits of it on its own, but rather in a product that has many nutrients in it that work synergistically with one another.

So in closing, I hope I have answered some of your thoughts and you now know for sure that grapes contain resveratrol!

 I also hope you will make it a point to include this wonder nutrient and others into your life and help to safeguard your health not only for now, but for the future too.

Health Benefits Of Resveratrol

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Paul Rodgers asked:


If you are trying to become a more heath conscious person then you will want to consider adding Resveratrol to your daily regimen, it will provide you with many benefits to your health.

You will be providing yourself with all of the benefits of the Resveratrol without the need to consume alcohol, this is a major plus for those that either doesn’t like the taste of red wine, are alcoholics, or those that just don’t like the thought of consuming alcohol on a daily basis.

Now everyone can be afforded those same benefits regardless of their thoughts of consuming large amounts of alcohol. Because the amount of resveratrol found in red wine is in such low doses, you might need to drink hundreds or thousands of bottles of red wine a day to see the same results as the tests performed on the lab mice. Resveratrol supplements are a concentrated dose of the molecule and therefore have a stronger effect.

Resveratrol may help prevent diseases and other age-related deterioration. In studies performed on lab mice, researchers have found that resveratrol may have several positive health effects including:

Preventing heart disease

It can improve the cardiovascular system

Preventing Type 2 diabetes

Preventing certain types of cancer, including prostate and breast cancer

Preventing Alzheimer’s Increasing bone health

Counteracting a high-fat diet

Aiding in weight loss

Increasing life span.


To have a simple nutrient being able to accomplish so much is quite remarkable. Aside from that, it is also known to improve the function of estrogen hormones. It acts as an effective enhancer of the neuroendocrine system at the same time.

Of course, scientists have yet to determine the proper amount of resveratrol needed for humans to have the same effects shown in mice. Nevertheless, resveratrol can be taken straight from red wine and as supplements. The French people have drinking red wine as part of their regular daily eating habits. They have been observed to have lower risks in obtaining diseases, such as heart ailments, cancers, diabetes and other degenerative illnesses. Moreover, they are among the humans to have slow aging process.

As time goes on, we will be able to see what the long term positive effects are of all the resveratrol supplements on the market today. You know that you will probably see a huge influx of different products in the near future touting this super new discovery.

The Cancer Cure/Resveratrol Link

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Paul Rodgers asked:


If you’re interested in the cancer cure/resveratrol link there’s good news. Science is on the way to showing the beneficial effects on cancer. But don’t wait 10 or more years to try it for yourself, take the worlds best nutritional supplements with 32 mg of resveratrol per tablet.

It is not only the Resveratrol and prostate cancer link which is cause all the excitement but many others too such as helping with Alzheimer’s and diabetes. All this is especially great news for men, that we can potentially fight off this increasingly common disease.

Research suggests resveratrol not only reaches its intended target, injuring the nexus of malignant cells, but at the same time protects normal tissue from the harmful effects of radiation. Yes, you have a double therapeutic gain as it makes tumor cells more sensitive to radiation, and makes normal tissue less sensitive!

One study concerning Resveratrol prostate cancer treatment and prevention combined the antioxidant with other phytochemicals found in the skins of muscadine grapes. They called it muscadine grape skin extract or MSKE for short.

Muscadines (Vitis rotundifolia), are a particular grapevine species native to the present-day southeastern United States that have been cultivated extensively since the 16th Century.

Muscadine grape vines are largely immune to fungus, nematodes and bacteria and insects rarely cause any damage. Resveratrol from muscadine grapes is widely believed to cure prostate cancer. Resveratrol has many healing properties and Muscadine grapes, where it is found in abundance, were used in laboratory tests.

The antioxidant properties of the muscadine grapes have now come to the fore. It is perhaps the best fruit made available to humans for protection against a dozen ailments.

In addition, there are a group of nutrients that work in “synergy” with resveratrol to provide the greatest anti-cancer effects. These same anti-cancer affects can help protect the body from heart disease and other life-threatening diseases, in which chronic inflammation plays a role.

You should also look for one that contains saw palmetto, lycopene, nettle root, zinc and red clover, both of which support the prostate’s health. In order to get the most from Resveratrol and prostate cancer prevention provided by it, be sure that the supplement has an enteric coating to protect it from stomach acid. Keep watching for more Resveratrol prostate cancer news and learn about other interesting phytochemicals.

For example, Resveratrol combines well with green tea extract among others, and it is this beneficial interaction or synergy that greatly amplifies its power to fight cancer, and many other diseases. Perhaps in the future, as we become more and more aware, we could help to eradicate this deadly disease by taking preventative steps, rather than looking for a cure.

Since the resveratrol and prostate cancer benefits are often not negligible with drinking red wine, it is recommended that a multi-vitamin supplement that contains this nutrient is the best way to consume it.



Resveratrol Side Effects- Does It Really Have Any?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Resveratrol is suddenly in the spotlight after the CBS 60 minutes program was aired, telling us how this amazing nutrient could reverse the aging process among others. But what about the resveratrol side effects?

To date there is no evidence of any ill effects. As one source of it comes from red wine, perhaps you could classify getting intoxicated and sleepy, as possible resveratrol side effects!   

So you could say it depends on the sources. Red wine has resveratrol in it as grape skins are one of the largest providers. Similarly, blueberries and peanuts contain some as well, and we are well aware of all the nut allergies around.

The largest concentration can be found in the Japanese Knotweed plant, and this is where the high quality extracts come from.

Most experts today agree that resveratrol is most effective when it is taken as part of a multi health supplement, so you benefit from the interaction of it with all the other nutrients and vitamins. This is called synergy.

When selecting a product make sure it contains trans- resveratrol rather than the cis type as trans is the more active form, and will give you increased benefits, and it should contain at least 20mg. There are no resveratrol side effects when taken in a supplement as the dosage is controlled.

You would have to drink well over a liter of the right red wine a day to get a similar kind of benefit, which would not be healthy, so that’s why the most popular form is a supplement.

It really is important that we are able to get the benefits of this nutrient without having to worry about any adverse side effects. It is also showing to be a major player in the fight against many types of cancer, diabetes and even protecting us against heart disease.

I hope that this article has put your mind at rest that there are no resveratrol side effects, only real health benefits to be had, and the potential when combined with other synergetic nutrients, to help you live a longer and healthier life.

You Have Asked, What is Resveratrol?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Gordon Hall asked:


What is resveratrol?  What is it good for?  How does it work?  What is the appropriate resveratrol dosage for specific age groups?  Are there any known side effects?  You will learn the answers to these questions here.

What is resveratrol and where is it found? 

It is a chemical compound present in a small number of plants.  Small quantities are found in red grape skins and the root of medicinal plant called Japanese knotweed.  To a lesser extent, it can be found in boiled peanuts, blueberries and bilberries.  It has been detected in grape and cranberry juice, as well.  But, the largest concentration, as far as common foods and beverages go, is found in Spanish red wine.

There is no widely agreed upon resveratrol dosage.  Natural health experts vary on their opinions.  The mainstream medical community simply suggests that you drink a glass or two of red wine, every day.  Since that would provide a maximum of 26mg, a reasonable amount for dietary supplementation would be between 20 and 50mg, depending on a person’s age.  An older person, for example, might want to take the higher resveratrol dosage.

What is resveratrol good for and how does it work?

It actually appears to have several functions in cells and animal models.  It is difficult to study its activity in the human body, because the expected benefits are long term, not short term. 

It has been shown to extend the lifespan of yeast, worms, fruit flies and some types of fish.  It has been shown to counteract the negative affects of a high fat diet in mice.  It is said to act like a “calorie restriction mimetic”.  But, the exact resveratrol dosage needed to produce these effects in humans is unknown. 

What is resveratrol, when referring to a calorie restriction mimetic? 

Researchers have shown that restricting the caloric intake of laboratory animals allows them to live longer.  It is believed that humans, too, live longer when they consume fewer calories on a daily basis.  There are some nutrients and plant chemicals that “mimic” the effect of a low calorie diet.  Resveratrol is one of them.  Alpha lipoic acid and carnosine are two of the others.

Specialty supplements designed to delay and counter the affects of aging include an appropriate resveratrol dosage (20-50mg), 50mg of alpha lipoic acid, 50-150mg of carnosine and a variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatories.  This type of supplement is not something that you’ll find on a shelf in your local drugstore. 

A couple of studies have been in the news lately concerning the lack of benefit associated with taking a daily multi-vitamin.  That’s not really surprising considering that most people take the popular brands or generics.  The vitamins used in those supplements are not the naturally occurring ones.  They are synthetics, not real.  Why anyone would think that taking a synthetic vitamin would be good for you is beyond me. 

When you shop for supplements, shop for natural ones.  Now, you know what is resveratrol, but be sure that it is the natural form.  Scientists have learned how to synthesize it, too. If you have two minutes to spare, please take a look at my website now.



Have Reservations About Resveratrol

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Michael Jenkins asked:


What is Resveratrol and where does Resveratrol come from?

Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by plants as an antibiotic substance and is used to fight the likes of fungi and bacteria on its health. Reseveratrol is found in Japanese knotweed which is commonly grown in China but other plants which produce Reveratol are peanuts, cranberries and in the skin of grapes.

What does Resveratrol do?

Resveratrol is seen to have the potential to deal with a wide range of disease associated with ageing like cardiovascular function, bone density, memory loss, lower LDL (bad cholesterol), fight heart disease, prostate cancer, and diabetes and has many more possibilities.

What is the history behind Resveratrol?

Resveratrol first came to light after it was reported researchers had compiled theories called the “French Paradox”  which looked at those living in France were able to consume a high fat and high calorie diet and yet still live longer that the average human. A theory was formed that the high consumption of red wine in the typical French diet could be the reason. It was thought the grape skins containing the resveratrol were found in the wine and this could be accounting for this yet still to the present date there is no hard evidence to support this theory.

The science behind Resveratrol

Resveratrol has shown in studies that it activates the SIRT1 enzyme which helps tell a cell it should fight, survive and repair itself. Another amazing find shows it also promotes the mitochondrial function in a cell. This is a huge factor as this helps not only the cell but our bodies in burning fat and in the recovery process, increases endurance and can mimic the effects of a calorie restricted diet which in turn means weight loss.

How do you take Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is also manufactured as a diet supplement in a tablet, liquid form and also a patch much like a nicotine patch. Commonly known as the “red wine pill” Resveratrol is on the market in many different varieties.



Do You Know About Resveratrol and Prostate Cancer?

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Gordon Hall asked:


In vitro studies of resveratrol and prostate cancer were promising.  In animal models, resveratrol prostate cancer preventative activity has not been seen.  It has been shown to prevent the development of skin cancer in animals exposed to carcinogens. 

Orally, it has been ineffective against lung cancer and leukemia, but effective against throat, stomach, intestinal and colon tumors.  When injected into the lung, it did slow the growth of the tumor.  It appeared to help prevent breast cancer, but had no effect on existing tumors. 

In order for studies to continue concerning resveratrol and prostate cancer treatment, researchers believe that they will need to find a way to get the compound to the tumor. They believe that it only has a positive affect on tumors that it can come into direct contact with.  In other words, simply injecting it into the bloodstream or giving it orally is not effective.

As far as resveratrol prostate cancer prevention goes, it is not likely that there will be additional research.  Right now, most of the studies are focusing on the anti-diabetic or blood-sugar lowering capabilities of the compound.  Some small studies are being conducting concerning its use as an anti-obesity drug, as well. 

In animal studies, it has been shown to counteract the effects of a high fat diet, although exactly “how” it does that is not clear, but it has some effect on the genes within the cell’s DNA.  So, there may be many advantages to supplementation, but resveratrol prostate cancer preventative activity may not be among them.  Green tea and grape seed extracts, however, may be advantageous for that purpose.

Instead of focusing on resveratrol and prostate cancer prevention, you may look for alternatives.  Green tea is one of the supplements that are allowed to bear the health claim of helping to prevent cancers of the breasts and the prostates.  Other important botanicals and nutrients for men’s health include Tribulus, damiana, L-arginine, gingko biloba, corn silk extract, Chrysin, saw palmetto and lycopene, as well as omega 3 fatty acids.

Cancers of all types are caused by free radicals, chronic inflammation and exposure to carcinogens.  Normal cells become mutated and multiply spreading to the surrounding tissue and eventually forming a tumor.  Resveratrol prostate cancer studies were initiated because it has unique antioxidant activity.  Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.

Green tea, Chrysin and lycopene have antioxidant activity and they are natural anti-inflammatories.  Omega-3 fatty acids are also natural inflammation fighters.  So, even though the animal model studies concerning resveratrol and prostate cancer were not promising, there is hope for prevention and treatment.

As the standard treatments cause numerous side effects, many people are choosing alternative treatments.  That’s one reason that animal studies were conducted concerning the potential of resveratrol prostate cancer treatment and the reason that those studies are likely to continue.

In the meantime, the best suggestion is to consult a doctor of naturopathic medicine.  Many of them have programs designed specifically for men with this condition.  Perhaps, as time goes by, we’ll learn more about resveratrol and prostate cancer prevention. If you have a minute to spare, please take a look at my website now.



The Antioxidant Mechanism Of Resveratrol And How It Benefits Our Health

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


We are starting to hear more and more now about this wonder nutrient and how it can benefit us, so let’s see how the antioxidant mechanism of resveratrol can help us.

Research is showing that resveratrol could be the most powerful antioxidant ever found. Quite an achievement.

 Antioxidants are needed at very high levels for optimum health and disease prevention in human beings. The antioxidant mechanism of resveratrol prevents and repairs cell damage caused by free radicals in the body.

 Free radicals, atoms with unpaired electrons, wreak havoc in the human body by damaging cells and causing disease and aging.

Its ability to reverse the signs of aging is being described as nothing short of amazing.

This is why it is so important to our health and millions of dollars are now going into research to see just how it works on many different levels.

To date most of the studies have been done on mice, but the findings are quite incredible. It seems the antioxidant mechanism of resveratrol can actually switch off abnormal cells while leaving the healthy ones alone.

This is the foundation for a cancer cure, as the current method of chemotherapy kills all the cells. In addition to this, in leukemia, it can induce the malignant cells to kill themselves. Tests on mice showed 76% of the cancer cells died when exposed to resveratrol.

Other antioxidant benefits are protection against heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer’s, and I am sure many more discoveries are right around the corner.

If resveratrol is teamed up with another powerful antioxidant like green tea extract, it powers are increased due to their interaction, and this is synergy at work.

Experts agree that the best way to harness the power of this nutrient is to take it in a multi supplement that has many other synergetic ingredients.

Though it has a long way to go, resveratrol research is already showing us how we can benefit from this amazing nutrient, especially when combined with others, and who knows perhaps the antioxidant mechanism of resveratrol will help us all look and feel younger.

Resveratrol Is Known To Help Type 2 Diabetes

Sunday, August 9th, 2009
Paul Rodgers asked:


Natural health experts believe that type II diabetes is a nutritional disease, when no other cause can be identified. In other words, incorrect nutritional intake over a period of many years leads to the metabolic disorder that is usually accompanied by a tendency towards obesity and high blood sugar levels.

Will a pill someday be able to prevent some of the most debilitating effects of aging, including cancer and diabetes. It is promising to think that accelerated aging, diabetes and cancer could one day be treated with this natural compound. As a drug, resveratrol may one day be used to treat fresh heart attacks and strokes, diabetes, as well as brain trauma.

Resveratrol has captured the attention of the world’s health and scientific communities since experiments from the Harvard laboratory of David Sinclair first appeared in the journal Nature in 2003. Resveratrol is the antioxidant compound in red wine that is currently hyped as the new “fountain of youth”.

Resveratrol is fast becoming one of the health buzz words of the decade. With studies now showing that resveratrol may well have significant effects on such cancers as prostate and breast cancer, the news is good. But is there a link between resveratrol and diabetes as well?

According to recent studies of resveratrol and diabetes, there seems to be growing excitement about a potential breakthrough, so what is this all about? We have known for a long time the powers of this super nutrient in stopping cancer and increasing life expectancy, but according to the latest research, an imminent breakthrough is predicted for type 2 diabetes.

One of the latest resveratrol and diabetes studies has to do with a novel function. One of the things that occur in type II diabetics is that amylin, a protein peptide that is released by pancreatic cells along with insulin, begins to form hard fibrils within the cells. These fibrils eventually kill the cell.  Resveratrol inhibits the formation of these fibrils, according to a recent study.

It truly has some remarkable positive health effects for all of us without any resveratrol side effects that are negative. Even better if you want to get the ultimate benefit of it take it in a combined supplement that includes other health promoting ingredients like the one I take which has over 70 ingredients that comprise of products like decaffeinated green tea and turmeric, to name a few.



What are the Benefits of Resveratrol?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Larry L. Taylor asked:


The total benefits of resveratrol are yet to be uncovered.  We have known for years that the antioxidant decreases our risk of cancer and heart disease, if it is taken in a bio-active form called trans-resveratrol, which can be absorbed through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream.  Of course, if you buy cheap supplements or the wrong red wine, you are not likely to get the benefit.

The resveratrol-content of red wine varies, depending on where the grapes grew and how long the grapes were allowed to ferment with the skins still intact.  It is the skin of certain types of red grapes that contain the largest amount and that amount increases as the grapes are allowed to ferment.  Red grape juice is not a good source of the antioxidant, because it is not fermented.

To a lesser extent, the antioxidant is present in boiled peanuts, but raw ones have only a tiny amount.  It also occurs in large amounts in some medicinal plants, such as Japanese knotweed root.   The purpose of the antioxidant in the plant world is to protect it from disease, toxins and UV radiation from the sun.

Most healthcare experts recommend a good supplement, rather than a dietary source, because the resveratrol-concentration is more uniform and there is no risk of liver damage or alcohol abuse that can occur among red wine drinkers.

Of course, in order to determine the potency, a manufacture must test the raw ingredients.  The best manufacturer guarantees that 50mg of their extract will contain 50% trans-resveratrol.  If you do a little shopping around, you will see that most manufacturers neither list the amount or the potency.  If they do, you usually get a 25% trans-resveratrol concentration, which is not likely to be of any benefit.

But, let’s get to what those benefits are.  It is obviously very exciting, because it has researchers from around the world conducting studies.  Here are some of the things that they’ve been saying. 

• May help prevent colon, breast, stomach, throat and other types of cancer

• Increases insulin sensitivity, decreases unhealthy blood sugar levels, but does not cause     low blood sugar levels

• Extends the lifespan of short-lived fish

• Reduces inflammation, improves bone density, slows bone degeneration and may reduce the risk of head and neck cancer

• May be useful in treating antibiotic resistant infections

• Protects against the damaging affects of UV radiation (may prove beneficial for cancer patients requiring radiation therapy)

• Helps prevent heart disease


With all of this good news, there is a little bad news about the supplement industry.  In November, 2007, an independent laboratory tested 13 resveratrol supplements to determine if the potency listed on the label was accurate.  Only two  passed the test, but this supports the notion that you need to choose your supplements carefully.

Here’s my advice.  Your best choice for supplementation is one that contains resveratrol, carnosine, SAM-e and your basic vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.  If you tried to take these supplements individually, you would spend a lot more money and get only limited benefit.   See my website for more specific advice. -Thanks, Larry



Does Resveratrol Work And What Are The Health Benefits?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Let’s face it, we all want to look younger and stay healthy, so when people ask me does resveratrol work, I have to assume it’s for one of those reasons, and there is much to be excited about.

It is only in recent year that resveratrol has come to light, especially after the stories about red wine and how it was now a healthy drink!

 It is true that it contains some of this nutrient in it, but they are small and the negative effects of the alcohol cancel any benefits, so does resveratrol work via wine, the answer is only to a small degree.

It has been proven to fight cancer at all stages, with some dramatic results thus far.  In studies it has also been shown to help protect against heart disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s.

Perhaps the most fascinating revelation is that it is being hailed as one of the most powerful substances in modern times to help fight the effects of aging by actually slowing it down and even reversing it.

How does resveratrol work in connection with anti aging?

It seems that it is due to its powerful antioxidant powers it helps to eliminate free radicals, which are unstable atoms caused in part by pollution, sunlight, and our bodies natural burning of fat, that can lead to cancer, aging, and brain degeneration.

The pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline has recently invested nearly as billion dollars into resveratrol research to develop a variety of solutions. A sign of things to come, I’m sure!

To have a simple nutrient being able to accomplish so much is quite remarkable. Who doesn’t want to look and feel younger? And what is the best way to take it?

Experts now agree that it is best taken as part of a multi supplement, to gain the maximum benefits.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with each other.

What does resveratrol work best with? It combines well with green tea and ginkgo biloba extract for starters, helping to improve the prevention of many diseases and improving memory and energy levels.

So I hope you can see the incredible benefits to be had and will make a point to include it in your diet, in supplement form, and who knows, you may well live a longer and healthier life!

So does resveratrol work? Most definitely!

So Just How Helpful Is Resveratrol To Your Health?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Are you frustrated with all the different reports about how helpful is resveratrol to your health? There are some very important reasons to include this super nutrient into your daily routine.

For a start, studies have shown that it can stop cancer in all stages, and also a wide variety of them too. It is a very powerful antioxidant and helps to prevent damage to our cells, in fact it has been hailed as the most powerful substance found to reverse the aging process!

How helpful is resveratrol to your health and future health? We have learnt that this incredible nutrient can help protect you from a wide range of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer as I mentioned, heart disease, and even diabetes.

Another quality is that it has been proven to increase endurance, giving your more energy over a sustained period of time. Mice were able to run over twice as far than those not given it!

You may have heard that it can now be had from red wine, and while that is true, you would need to drink over a liter a day just to start to get the benefits! Now that is maybe doable by a few people, but it is not ideal and will increase your risk of alcohol related illnesses obviously.

How helpful is resveratrol to your health and life expectancy? There is now growing evidence that it could potentially help you to live a longer and crucially, healthier life.

 It’s no good if we start to live longer but are ill and have no energy. Tests on various life forms showed that they could live up to 50% longer, so there is hope for us all!

Many of the big pharmaceuticals are now investing millions into researching resveratrol as it could be the next big thing as it has so many beneficial qualities for us. Watch this space!

Many experts agree that the best way to add resveratrol to your diet is through a multi health supplement, whereby you can benefit from all the different nutrients and herbs.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with each other.

So how helpful is resveratrol to your health when combined with green tea and ginkgo biloba for example? Well this will help improve you energy levels and even your eyesight and enhanced mental clarity.

So in closing, I hope I have answered the question of how helpful is resveratrol to your health, and that you can see the amazing benefits to be had not only now, but for the future too.

Resveratrol Dosage Information And How To Get It Right

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


Many people are now asking for resveratrol dosage information, as more and more is discovered about this wonder nutrient, and what it can do. So is there a right amount to take and how should you take it?

As you may well know, resveratrol has been proven to fight cancer at all stages, lower cholesterol levels, protect against heart disease and even extend our lives, so resveratrol dosage information and more importantly, the way we take it, are crucial.

Many companies out there are claiming you should take over 200mg a day, and this is primarily to sell weight loss pills. There is no evidence to suggest such high doses will work, and the most fundamental factor about this is delivery.

When I say delivery I mean the coating or lack of it on the supplement. If there is no special coating you are simply throwing money down the drain as most of the effects will be lost due to the actions of stomach acid.

You should instead look for one that has a natural enteric coating which will allow safe passage through the stomach and into the upper intestine where it has the maximum benefit. This is not the cheapest option and why most of the supplements out there are without it, to boost the company’s profits. Check the label carefully.

So you can see that even if the resveratrol dosage information says it contains 50mg for example without the correct delivery method you may get as little as 5 mg into the bloodstream.

From my research 20-40mg a day for adults seems to be the norm. It will perform even better if it is combined with other synergistic ingredients, like olive leaf and green tea extract for example.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with each other. A win-win situation, and of more benefit to you than the actual resveratrol dosage information.

If you are serious about staying healthy and keeping healthy for the future, then take resveratrol in a combined supplement and you will soon start to feel the immense benefits from this and the other nutrients, like a sharper memory and increased energy for starters.

It is more important to take the right quality supplement than worry about the resveratrol dosage information you receive, for as you now know, it’s all about how much actually gets into your system.

Cancer Cure Resveratrol Researchers Are Hopeful For

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


It seems unbelievable that as a natural cancer cure resveratrol would be the front runner. This wonder nutrient is being hailed as one of the most powerful anticancer compounds ever found.

It is proven to fight cancer at all three levels: initiation, promotion and progression. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that can help prevent cell damage caused by free radicals. Damaged cells are much more likely to become cancerous than healthy cells.

As a cancer cure resveratrol has been shown to actually induce malignant cells to die without disrupting the healthy ones. This is an exciting discovery, as the traditional method of chemotherapy kills the healthy cells too.

The pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline has this year put millions of dollars into resveratrol research, so confident is it about this powerful antioxidant.

The variety of cancers that it can fight includes promising results on breast, lung, pancreatic, prostate and leukemia. In leukemia it actually induces the cells to kill themselves.

According to professor Shi from the University of Kentucky, what everyone seeks is an agent that has an effect on cancer cells but leaves normal cells alone, and this shows that as a cancer cure resveratrol fits into this category.

We have had only a glimpse of its potential but the future looks increasingly bright for this nutrient, with many more ground-breaking discoveries to come. Most of the tests to date have been done on mice, and these have generally gone on to be positive for humans.

Another study showed how it can shut off hundreds of genes which are required for tumor growth. This amazing ability caused one researcher to call it a “biologically specific tsunami.” So for a cancer cure resveratrol is already emerging as the heavyweight.

Experts agree the best way we can incorporate it into our lives is through a natural multi health supplement. When combined with other natural nutrients like green tea and turmeric extract, its abilities to fight cancer for example are greatly enhanced due to the synergy of the ingredients.

You will also experience many other benefits including improved memory, increased energy levels and better skin tone as well as potentially preventing many future degenerative diseases.

In conclusion, as a cancer cure resveratrol certainly looks like the frontrunner, showing more potential than any other natural compound, and we can harness its power now, and hopefully live a longer and healthier life.

Supply Giant Knotweed Extract Resveratrol 50%~99%

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
nutramax asked:


supply Giant Knotweed Extract Resveratrol 50%~99%

Profile:

Product Specification : Resveratrol 50%~99%

Latin Name: Polygonum Cuspidatum

Product Type: White powdered extract

Part of the Plant Used: Root

Extract Method: Alcohol

What is the Giant Knotweed Extract?

Giant knotweed is an east Asian species (Polygonum cuspidatum), belonging to the Polygonaceae family. Documented uses in traditional Chinese medicine date to the first century BC, and contemporary medical uses supported by clinical results include acute microbial infections or viral hepatitis, chemo- or radiation-induced leukocytopenia, atherosclerosis, and hyperlipidemia.

Giant knotweed extract has exhibited antitussive, antihistaminic, hypotensive, vasodilating, cytotoxic, and antioxidant properties, among others. Giant knotweed extract is also a concentrated source of resveratrol, an antioxidant phenol produced in response to fungi. Resveratrol has also shown antimutagenic activity in bioassays conducted on bacteria in vitro. And, in a recent investigation conducted in vivo and in vitro, resveratrol displayed chemopreventive effects at three critical stages of carcinogenesis. Specifically, resveratrol was found to 1) induce phase II drug metabolizing enzymes; 2) mediate anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit cyclooxygenase and hydro-peroxidase (antipromotion); and 3) induce human promyelocytic leukemia cell diferentiation. Resveratrol was also found to inhibit the development of preneoplastic lesions in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Very recently, it was reported that Giant knotweed extract is one of the best active-oxygen scavengers for the prevention of skin aging induced by UV-irradiation and free radical. Experiments conducted in vivo indicate that resveratrol is a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Recent work in dogs and humans indicate that other concentrated sources of resveratrol eliminate cyclic blood-flow reductions caused by platelet-mediated thrombosis.

Resveratrol And Diabetes—Is A Breakthrough Imminent?

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Ric Hawkins asked:


According to recent studies of resveratrol and diabetes, there seems to be growing excitement about a potential breakthrough, so what is this all about?

We have known for a long time the powers of this super nutrient in stopping cancer and increasing life expectancy, but according to the latest research, an imminent breakthrough is predicted for type 2 diabetes.

It seems that a resveratrol and diabetes connection for helping to cure this disease works in two ways. Firstly, it helps to lower the glucose levels significantly and helps to improve insulin sensitivity.

Secondly, it has been found to increase metabolism, (you may have heard about the weight loss possibilities with this nutrient) which decrease weight gain, a major contributor to type 2 diabetes.

A study by Sirtris Pharmaceuticals is significant because it shows that resveratrol might well be used to treat type 2 diabetes in the near future and that it seems to be well tolerated by patients.

There seems to be no end to what this super nutrient can do, and one of the best methods to avoid diseases is to take preventative action.

Even though a resveratrol and diabetes connection has been made, you can get the many benefits of it here and now. Experts agree that the most effective method is via a natural multi supplement.

When these ingredients are put together they create synergy, which means you get the direct benefits of each nutrient and the benefits from their interaction with each other.

Resveratrol is synergistic with green tea and ginkgo biloba extract, and this will enhance its ability to fight of the aging process and many diseases.

Why wait until the research on resveratrol and diabetes proves what we already suspect, and what the Japanese have known for years (they get theirs from the Japanese Knotweed plant, one of the most potent sources on earth and the source for good quality supplements), that especially when combined, we can have amazing health benefits right now.

We truly live in exciting times with more natural discoveries being made all the time, although the Chinese for example, have long known about the amazing powers of nutrients and herbs.

The whole emphasis is shifting from cure to prevention and the same goes for resveratrol and diabetes, where we can take back the power ourselves, and hopefully live a longer and healthier life.

Resveratrol From Grape Supplement and Why it May Help Diabetics and Others

Saturday, August 8th, 2009
Elizabeth Ruby asked:


Finding a source for resveratrol from grape supplement is a good choice if you are trying to protect your health against many diseases. Health concerns like cancer, heart disease, obesity, Alzheimer’s, and type 2 diabetics all benefit from this nutrient.

Let’s just look at the benefits of resveratrol from grape supplement for diabetes. This is a disease that affects my extended family and a couple of friends of mine. My husband has Type 1 diabetes, so this information may not be as critical for him, but his brother and two of our closest friends have Type 2 so this information is beneficial for them.

It was discovered that resveratrol significantly lowered blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. The dose given was 2.5 grams and 5 grams. Patients tested had no adverse reactions to this large amount. This study shows the use of resveratrol has great potential in treating Type 2 diabetes. More studies are being conducted to see if lesser amounts can benefit as well.

When tested on mice it kept the mice from gaining weight and from developing diabetes. Studies show it is possible that resveratrol may fight diabetes in two ways, by increasing metabolism, thus helping with obesity, and by improving insulin sensitivity.

These findings mean great health benefits for diabetics. They are also crucial for people in general with the increase in metabolism.

Since resveratrol comes from the skin of red grapes, drinking red wine is one way to get resveratrol, but too much wine is not good for one’s health. The best way to get the health benefits is with resveratrol from grape supplements. In supplement form you know exactly how much you are getting and you can get it everyday. You will find lots of tablets available.

The one I like to take has many other nutrients with it, including essential vitamins and minerals, ginkgo biloba, coenzyme Q10, and other important herbal extracts for optimum health. You save money by getting all the nutrients you need in one bottle, and you save shelf space not having to store bottles of each nutrient separately.

Check out my web site today. You can find lots of good information about staying healthy, and find more information on the resveratrol from grape supplements I take. Nutritional supplements are necessary to replace the vitamins and minerals that are depleted form our soil today, thus are food supply is less effective in delivering the nutrients we need to keep us healthy and ward off diseases.
