Resveratrol Caps 50mg Maximum Strength by Vita Labs inc.
60 Vegi Capsules
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by
some plants to protect against environmental stresses.
Perhaps the most notable producer of resveratrol is the
grapevine, which produces large amounts of resveratrol in
the skins of grapes to protect against fungal diseases and
sun damage. It is therefore no suprise that wine (in
particular red wine - which is fermented with grape
skins) has some of the highest levels of resveratrol out of
any natural food.
While it has been know for thousands of years that wine is
a healthful drink (thus the old Roman saying 'In Vino
Sanitas'- In wine there is health), the scientific community
started taking wine's health benefits seriously after 60
Minutes reported the famous 'French Parodox' study in
which people in France were less likely to die of heart
attacks than Americans despite similar high fat diets. The
study concluded that the relatively large amounts of red
wine consumed by the French protected their hearts.
From the French Paradox study numerous other studies
were launched to attempt to identify compounds responsible
for red wine’s apparent health benefits. From these studies
the compound that gained by far the largest amount of
interest was Resveratrol – AND RIGHTLY SO! Recent
studies have concluded that:
Adding resveratrol to the diet of yeast, fruit flies, worms, and a species of fish increased their life spans up to 70%, 29%, 24%, & 50% respectively.
Resveratrol made fat related deaths drop 31% in obese mice. The resveratrol fed obese mice also performed much better in movement and agility tests than obese mice not fed resveratrol.
Mice fed resveratrol had 100% more endurance than mice not fed resveratrol (i.e. they were able to run twice as far on a treadmill).
Resveratrol inhibits blood platelet aggregation that can lead to dangerous clots that can cause heart attacks and strokes.
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that can help prevent cell damage caused by 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 brain degeneration)
Resveratrol has been proven to fight cancer in vitro at all three stages; (1) initiation, (2) promotion, (&) progression.
Resveratrol is found naturally in:
red wine, grapes, blueberries, peanuts, and various
Findings from published scientific literature indicate that resveratrol may be the most effective plant extract for maintaining optimal health.
Scientists have hypothesized that resveratrol may be a key component of the famous "French Paradox," whereby the French traditionally were protected against heart disease despite a diet high in butter and animal fats. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a natural plant antibiotic which is produced by Vitis vinifera as a response to attack by molds. Because of the wide-spread use of pesticides in modern wine-making, including the practice of copper sulphation, the level of resveratrol in modern wines has plummeted. Red wine contains resveratrol, but the quantity varies depending on where the grapes are grown, the time of harvest, and other factors. In fact, usually only one to three mg resveratrol per liter of red wine is currently found, even in the most robust red wines. After years of relentless research, a standardized resveratrol extract is now available as a dietary supplement.
This whole grape extract contains a spectrum of polyphenols that are naturally contained in red wine such as proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, etc.
The dosage (20 mg) of resveratrol found in our supplement is the amount of resveratrol that used to be found in approximately one liter of French red wine, before the wide-spread use of pesticides in modern wine-making. Therefore, our 20 mg resveratrol supplement contains approximately 125-times the amount of resveratrol in one fluid ounce of red wine. Since a glass of wine is approximately 5 and 1/3 ounces, this means that a member may achieve the equivalent amount of resveratrol in 23 glasses of red wine by taking one 20 mg resveratrol supplement
Resveratrol Targets Cancer Cells
In the study, published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, researchers examined the effects of a 50 microgram/milliliter dose of resveratrol on pancreatic cancer cells alone and in combination with radiation treatment. By comparison, the resveratrol concentration in red wine can be as high as 30 micrograms/milliliter.
The results showed that resveratrol had a variety of potentially valuable anti-cancer effects, including:
Making the cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy by hampering proteins that resist treatment
Triggering cancer cell death (apoptosis)
Injuring the cancer cell's energy source and decreasing its potential to function
"While additional studies are needed, this research indicates that resveratrol has a promising future as part of the treatment for cancer," Okunieff says.
