- Source of antioxidants to fight oxidative stress
Exciting research continues to emerge regarding resveratrol, a powerful polyphenol found in peanuts, berries, red grape skins, red wine and in Japanese knotweed, a plant also known as Polygonum. Resveratrol is produced by certain plants and acts as a natural protection against parasites. 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 concentration of resveratrol will be in the wine produced from those grapes.
Research shows that resveratrol provides very powerful antioxidant protection that can support estrogen metabolism, healthy cardiovascular function and immune system balance. Additionally, perhaps the most exciting news regarding resveratrol is that discovered by Harvard Medical School researchers demonstrating that resveratrol acts as a sirtuin activator, meaning it activates the SirT1 gene, which, when activated, can help support healthy aging. The trans-resveratrol form is thought to be responsible for this effect. The polygonum source used in Resveratrol Supreme is standardized to 50% resveratrol in the trans form.
