Resveratrol
by Brazos Minshew, TriVitas Chief Science Officer

Whether it is someone on Oprah, Dr. Oz or another show that features health topics, sooner or later the topic will turn to resveratrol. What is resveratrol? Why is it so controversial? Could you benefit from including this mysterious antioxidant in your supplement routine?

Humble origins
Reseveratrol was first discovered by a pre-WWII Japanese scientist who isolated a resin from Veratrum species plants. The resin was deemed a resorcinol.

I am sure these words sound quite different in Japanese!

Anyway, the war effort distracted scientists from really exploring this discovery until many years later when French physician Serge Renaud identified a mysterious compound in red wine, and many other berries, that reduced the impact of high-fat foods in the human diet. He noted that French people ate a higher-fat diet than their American counterparts, yet had a lower incidence of heart disease. He claimed it was an unnamed element in red wine that offered the protection. So, the contraction resveratrol was created to describe this resinous antioxidant.

The argument of the so-called French Paradox rages on even today. It is true, the French eat foods with higher fat and drink great volumes of red wine, or so the stereotype goes. And in general, they have a lower risk of heart disease than people in North America. Of course, they also enjoy much more activity than most in North America.

Research today
Numerous studies of resveratrol have been conducted in recent years. Most of these have been in vitro tests, studies conducted in laboratory Petri dishes, not on humans. Most of these studies have shown promising results, longer lifespan and a greater host-resistance to infection and cancer cells. Other studies in animals reproduce some of the results, though many are not directly applicable to humans. Can you say that the body of a hamster is a mirror of a human body?

Studies conducted on humans have demonstrated visible results with concentrated resveratrol, skin regains its elastic qualities, wrinkles fade or disappear and skin just looks better. Anti-aging physicians report an increase in stem cells with resveratrol. Stem cells are the progenitor cells that replace diseased, dying or dead cells. Stem cells make us younger!

Where can I get resveratrol?
There are many sources of resveratrol. The skins, stems and seeds of grapes, especially red grapes, as well as other dark berries, peanuts and other nuts and, of course, red wine all contain resveratrol. However, if you want a consistent concentration of this youthful antioxidant, standardized supplements are the best sources. Why? Because supplements give you the benefits without the risks. Also, supplements can give you the economy of scale. For example, two capsules of Super Antioxidant Complex can give you more resveratrol than dozens of glasses of wine or pounds of boiled peanuts!

TriVitas Super Antioxidant Complex is our best source of resveratrol. TriVitas VisionGuard, Adaptogen 10 Plus and Nopalea also contain resveratrol-rich berries. Once you try one or all of these resveratrol sources, you will want to keep taking it. Then you will understand why resveratrol has remained so popular for so long, it just makes you feel that good!
