PAULING INSTITUTE: RESVERATROL TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound found in grapes,
red wine, purple grape juice, peanuts, and some berries.
When taken orally, resveratrol appears to be well-absorbed
by humans, but its bioavailability is relatively low
because it is rapidly metabolized and eliminated.
RESVERATROL:
Just how good is resveratrol at preventing cancer
and heart disease? It's so good that drug companies
are trying to mimic its molecules in order to claim
they're "creating" a new drug to prevent
heart disease.
FUTURE
DIABETES TREATMENT MAY USE RESVERATROL TO TARGET THE
BRAIN: Resveratrol, a molecule found in red grapes,
has been shown to improve diabetes when delivered
orally to rodents. Until now, however, little has
been known about how these beneficial changes are
mediated in the body.

longevity antioxidant resveratrol may offer powerful
protective benefits for your brain.
RESVERATROL
IMPROVES ARTERIES: Atherosclerosis, also known as
hardening or stiffness of the arteries, is a concern
among people with type 2 diabetes because it heightens
the risk of both heart disease and stroke. But a new
study shows that resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant,
can decrease artery stiffness effectively.

HEALTH
SECRETS OF RED WINE UNCOVERED: New research is uncovering
the disease-prevention secrets of a polyphenol called
resveratrol, one of compounds in red wine that seems
to improve health. Although the benefits have been touted
for years, researchers weren't sure how polyphenols,
and resveratrol in particular, worked in the body.
