Resveratrol – The new wonder supplement
Sunday, 22 March 2009
Weight loss, anti-aging and increased energy are just a few of the benefits that supposedly transpire from the wonder supplement Resveratrol. Is it possible for one supplement to deliver so much? Dr David Sinclair, an Australian Scientist from Harvard University believes so after his research with mice showed enormous health benefits and a dramatic increase in life span.
Resveratrol helps anti-aging
Dr Sinclair’s study basically found that, mice fed with resveratrol coupled with a high calorie intake, did not develop the organ damage and decreased physical performance compared to the placebo mice. It is believed that the anti-aging benefits of Resveratrol may be linked to the presence of a class of longevity genes called Sirtuins. Sirtuins acts in a way that mimics a calorie restricted diet and slows down cellular division and therefore the aging process. So in essence Resveratrol helps slow down cellular decay, controls growth of abnormal cells and better enables cells to repair themselves. These attributes combined are very strong longevity enhancers.

Weight Loss Properties
Research has shown that a 30% reduction in calories results in roughly the same increase in life expectancy and Resveratrol has shown to have these benefits without changing eating patterns. It is not understood exactly why it happens but scientists from Massey University in New Zealand believe that the “antioxidants may trigger receptors in your upper intestine that tell your brain you're full" results.
What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a powerful anti-oxidant, most commonly found in the skin of red grapes and as such red wine also. It is also found in other red fruits, seeds, peanuts, berries and various herbs. The compound is found in two forms, cis and trans-resveratrol. The trans-resveratrol is the naturally occurring form, that the body absorbs most readily.
