Biovea Resveratrol 40mg – Resveratrol, Pack of 60 caps

What is resveratrol?

Found in grapes and wine, resveratrol is a natural antioxidant that contains a number of health benefits such as antiviral, neuroprotective, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and life-extending effects.

Resveratrol is a protective compound produced by red grapes and some other plants as a defense against parasites. While red wine used to contain 8 to 10 mg of resveratrol per liter, unfortunately there is almost no resveratrol in today's red wine due to the widespread use of pesticides. However, we were able to find a source of pharmaceutical grade resveratrol extracted directly from red grapes, which preserves the natural balance of all its active compounds: polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanidins and oligoproanthocyanidins (OPC). It is then enriched with resveratrol extracted from the plant Polygonum cuspidatum.

Why should you take resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a brilliant solution for many age-related health problems:

Heart Health: The World Health Organization suggests that resveratrol alone reduces cardiovascular risk by 40%! Resveratrol is more effective than vitamin E in protecting against a broader range of free radicals to prevent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). It inhibits platelet aggregation by blocking the action of thrombin and several other aggregating factors. It promotes the production of nitric oxide, which relaxes and dilates arteries. It reduces blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels, as well as the intrinsic hypertensive agent endothelin-1.

Brain health: Preliminary studies show that resveratrol, alone and in combination with other antioxidants, protects the brain from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is known to play a major role in most neurodegenerative diseases.

Inflammation: A recent Chinese study showed that when injected immediately after injury, resveratrol was as effective as the drug prednisone in protecting against spinal cord inflammation, but with the added benefit of antioxidant protection. A study of rats pre-supplemented with resveratrol for 21 days showed that it improved prognosis and reduced the lasting effects of stroke.

Longevity: According to a study at Harvard Medical School, resveratrol activates the longevity gene in certain strains of yeast and extends lifespan by 70%! It works in the same way as calorie restriction (the only scientifically proven way to increase longevity) by activating SIR genes. To date, research has been limited to yeast, flies, and nematodes, but it’s worth noting that humans also possess these genes.

Directions: Take 1 capsule twice daily.
