Beneficial effects of resveratrol

Resveratrol is the best cardiovascular protector, much more effective than vitamin E

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), resveratrol alone reduces the cardiovascular risk by 40% because it has an antithrombotic and anticholesterol action, it promotes the dilation of arteries and has a powerful antioxidant action preventing the development of arteriosclerosis.

Resveratrol also has remarkable anti-cancer properties through a triple action:

  • it fights against the formation of free radicals,
  • it protects DNA from chemical damage,
  • it neutralizes carcinogenic substances in the liver.

A study published in the prestigious journal "Science" has shown that resveratrol is active in the 3 phases of tumor development (initiation-promotion-progression). Resveratrol kills both estrogen-dependent and non-estrogen-dependent cancer cells and blocks the development of bone metastases in some types of cancer. Other studies have shown that it improves the results of chemotherapy because resveratrol does not destroy healthy cells but protects them.

Resveratrol has a phyto-oestrogenic action

It can be used to combat the unpleasant effects of menopause (hot flashes).

Resveratrol, according to a study conducted at Harvard Medical School, activates a longevity gene in certain strains of yeast and increases their life expectancy by 70%! The research has so far only involved yeast and flies, but it should be noted that humans have these same longevity genes.

Another study showed that resveratrol could help brain neurons survive oxidative stress. Following in vitro testing of eight different phytoestrogen molecules, researchers finally discovered that resveratrol was able to decrease the natural process of brain cell death by 40%. This research demonstrates the value of resveratrol in the prevention of degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

20 mg of pure resveratrol
Unfortunately, there is almost no resveratrol left in red wine due to the widespread use of pesticides.
Therefore, you need to look for another source of resveratrol, which is present in many plants but especially in Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese bindweed) and vitis vinifera (red vine).
