Getting The Most Out of The Popular Supplement, Resveratrol
If you’ve read a newspaper or magazine, or watched TV recently, you have probably heard something about resveratrol and all the health benefits it offers.
It may also explain why the French get heart disease less often than we do, even though they eat a lot of fat, and smoke cigarettes. It could be because of the resveratrol in the red wine they drink.
Studies show that the French habit of drinking a glass or two of red wine per day can protect a person from developing certain chronic diseases.

The answer may lie in resveratrol and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The resveratrol contained in red wine is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power. Supplementing with resveratrol will help to keep your blood vessels open and free of clots.
Resveratrol may also help to lower cholesterol, and it is about ten times more powerful in this respect than Vitamin E. Those at risk for colon cancer should try resveratrol because it keeps the Cox-2 enzyme from doing its damage.
More and more studies are showing the anticancer benefits of resveratrol supplementation, although more research is needed to establish a definite link.
Resveratrol is also found in the leaves and skins of red grapes. If you don’t drink, there are non-alcoholic wine drinks that are high in resveratrol, too.
Resveratrol can also be found in purple grape juice, the grapes themselves, and in peanuts. However, red wine contains more resveratrol than other sources- about three times as much as grape juice.

Resveratrol does not have a recommended daily intake set forth by the FDA, but that’s because it’s new. It’s safe, with no risk of side effects or drug interaction.
Although there is no real RDA for resveratrol, it is safe with no side effects or risk of drug interaction. Talk to your doctor to see if resveratrol can help you!
