Everything You Need to Know Concerning Resveratrol

By Jason Z. Thomas

If you've read a newspaper or magazine, or watched TV recently, you have probably heard something about resveratrol and all the health benefits it offers.

Resveratrol may be able to at least partly explain the "French paradox"- the fact that the French generally have a lower incidence of heart disease and cancer, although they have a largely high-fat diet.

Recent research seems to prove that the resveratrol in the red wine favored by the French is what protects them from these diseases.

You may wonder how alcohol consumption could benefit your health, especially knowing that alcohol keeps your body from absorbing nutrients, and that alcohol can cause a lot of problems.

Digging a little deeper, it has been revealed that resveratrol can prevent blood clots by keeping blood vessels soft and pliable.

More and more studies are showing the anticancer benefits of resveratrol supplementation, although more research is needed to establish a definite link.

Resveratrol is also found in the leaves and skins of red grapes. If you don't drink, there are non-alcoholic wine drinks that are high in resveratrol, too.

Resveratrol can also be found in purple grape juice, the grapes themselves, and in peanuts. However, red wine contains more resveratrol than other sources- about three times as much as grape juice.

Resveratrol supplements are now widely sold, and they are usually in combination with grape seed extracts and other antioxidants.

Resveratrol does not have a recommended daily intake set forth by the FDA, but that's because it's new. It's safe, with no risk of side effects or drug interaction.

With all the benefits of resveratrol, and the fact that using it carries no risk for you, there's really no reason not to try it- but you should discuss it with your doctor first. - 17269
