Exciting research continues to emerge regarding resveratrol, a powerful polyphenol found in peanuts, berries, red grape skins, red wine, and Japanese knotweed, also known as Polygonum. Resveratrol is produced by certain plants and acts as a natural defense against pests. In the case of grapes, it concentrates in the skin and protects the plant from mold and bacterial infections. The harsher the climate in which the grapes grow, the higher the resveratrol concentration will be in the wine produced from them.
Research shows that resveratrol provides powerful antioxidant protection that can support estrogen metabolism, healthy cardiovascular function, and a balanced immune system. Perhaps the most exciting news about resveratrol is that discovered by Harvard Medical School researchers, who demonstrated that resveratrol acts as a sirtuin activator, meaning it activates the SirT1 gene, which, when activated, can help support healthy aging. The trans-form of resveratrol is thought to be responsible for this effect. The polygonum source used in Resveratrol Supreme is standardized to 50% resveratrol in the trans form.
