What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in red wine that promotes cardiovascular health, healthy immune response, mitochondrial health, telomeres, and healthy aging.*
Resveratrol is found in some red wines and is believed to be a key reason for the French paradox, wherein a higher level of saturated fat is consumed and heart health is maintained. Research shows that resveratrol protects against some metabolic stressors associated with a high fat diet.*
SIRT1 Activator
Resveratrol acts through a variety of natural mechanisms to enhance health, and much research points to these mechanisms in an anti-aging context similar to the beneficial effects seen in calorie restriction. Resveratrol is shown to be a SIRT1 activator, turning on the SIRT1 gene to promote healthy aging and fat burning.*
Mitochondrial Health
Resveratrol is a potent cardiovascular antioxidant that works synergistically as part of the antioxidant network. It has been shown to enhance the function of an important cellular antioxidant enzyme called MnSOD, which helps keep mitochondria in good working order to make energy more efficiently while protecting against damage. It also helps modulate NF-kappaB, the key stress and inflammation gene signal within a cell.*
