The Promise of Resveratrol

There has been much research over the last several years concerning the ingredient in wine called resveratrol. It has shown great promise in laboratory studies with mice and in ongoing human clinical trials indicating it has the future promise of treating several human diseases related to aging.

The current leader in aging research is Dr. David Sinclair, co-director and founder of the anti-aging laboratory at the Harvard University School of Medicine.

Dr. Sinclair first uncovered resveratrol's genetic mechanism in 2003 while conducting anti-aging research. The current dialog over resveratrol has caught the attention of scientists who conduct research on the aging process, several of whom are already taking resveratrol. Dr. Sinclair has been taking resveratrol supplements for five years and has said his parents and half the members of his laboratory do the same. So does Dr. Tomas Prolla at the University of Wisconsin , who said, "The fact that investigators in the field are taking it is a good sign there is something there."

Dr. Sinclair recently talked with Barbara Walters on ABC's 20/20 about his findings on the promising benefits of resveratrol. Here is a segment of that broadcast:

There IS a Viable Resveratrol Supplement!

We have great news for you now that you're convinced there's no feasible way of obtaining enough resveratrol in your daily diet due to the large quantities of wine or resveratrol-containing foods that would have to be consumed.

The answer is a supplement from the #1 natural nutritional company in the U.S. You may recall Dr. David Sinclair who was introduced at the beginning of our discussion of resveratrol. He is the Harvard Medical School researcher who first uncovered resveratrol's anti-aging mechanism in 2003. Dr. Sinclair has been extremely active in continuing studies into the practical uses of resveratrol in helping consumers attain it's benefits.

You might also recall that SmithGlaxoKline purchased Sirtris, the pharmacuetical company that Dr. Sinclair helped co-found to research and develop medicines that could provide the benefits of resveratrol. Since the sale of Sirtris, Dr. Sinclair has been exploring other avenues for realizing the benefits of resveratrol.

In a landmark collaboration, Dr. Sinclair has teamed with the researchers and doctors at our country's leading nutritional company to develop an all natural product that provides the high potency levels of resveratrol that are required to realize its benefits. Only this company has the resources and the level of knowledge required to produce an all natural resveratrol supplement containing the beneficial blend of resveratrol. This supplement is the most complex product ever produced by our company.

Why Should You Consider Taking Resveratrol?

So now you might be saying "Maybe I should I include resveratrol in my daily diet."

You've already been hearing for a number years now that drinking red wine appears to be good for your health. In the research articles we've posted to this site, that advice on drinking red wine is clearly backed up by numerous scientific studies showing resveratrol has the promise of treating human diseases of aging that range from Obesity to Cancer. It would seem to be a "no-brainer" to decide to drink red wine or to eat foods containing resveratrol (such as dark grapes or peanuts) to minimize or avoid the many age-related diseases that resveratrol potentially can treat.

However, the scientific studies clearly show that large amounts of wine or foods containing resveratrol must be consumed to realize the potential benefits that were demonstrated in those studies. In order to obtain the same level dosages that were utilized in the research studies, a person would have to drink upwards of 100 glasses of wine per day to obtain the same amount of resveratrol that was used in the studies.

Obviously, drinking 100 glasses of wine per day is not advisable. Also, an enormous number of grapes, peanuts, etc. would have to to be eaten to obtain this level of dosage of resveratrol. Thus it would appear the promise of resveratrol is not, practically speaking, attainable.

The Benefits of Resveratrol

You may now be thinking "So that's why so many people are interested in the fact that grapes and red wine have resveratrol!"

Another argument for that interest is that researchers at Zhejiang University in China investigated the effect of injections of resveratrol on the central regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity in animals. Their results suggest that resveratrol powerfully inhibits blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity. This study has tremendous implications for anti-aging therapies.

One does not have look far on the Internet for scores of articles, all touting the research findings so far that indicate resveratrol may be able to treat the following diseases related to aging in humans:

• Heart Disease
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Osteoporosis
• Obesity
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Cataracts
• Other diseases related to aging

For example, there are numerous articles on WebMD.com alone that discuss the various possible benefits of resveratrol in humans (see WebMD.com sidebar.)

There are also numerous other research studies about the potential benefits of resveratrol that have been documented on the Internet (see Additional Resveratrol Research Studies sidebar.) These are technical medical research studies that indicate the promise resveratrol holds in the treatment of many different age-related diseases.
