Description

Plants create trans-resveratrol to protect themselves against the effects of poor growing conditions and severe weather. Found in grapes and wine, Resveratol is a naturally occurring antioxidant that contains number of health benefits . Reveratrol is a protective compound produced by red grapes and cetain other plants as defence against parasits. While red wine previously contained 8 to 10mg resveratol per litre, there is unfortunately almost no resveratrol in todays red wine due to widespread use of pesticides. We have, however, managed to find a source of pharmaceuticals grade resveratrol, extracted directly from red grapes, which retains the natural balance of all its active compounds: polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanidins and oligoproanthocyanidins (OPCs). Resveratrol may improve health and longevity by mimicking some of the beneficial effects of a calorie restricted diet, the only intervention known to extend life in mammals. Resveratrol shows promise in offsetting the effects of obesity and poor lifestyle choices.
