Resveratrol is produced by certain plants in order to fight against fungi and bacteria. Some people call it a natural antibiotic.

Therefore, resveratrol has become a significant and popular health weapon in the arsenal of natural remedies used to combat illness and the ageing process.


Resveratrol has shown to be effective on rats and mice to fight against cancer, inflammatory and blood sugar properties. It has also been showed to have benefits to the cardiovascular system and increased the life-span of fish. It's testing on humans has not gone that far but people have shown good results while using the chemical.

Synthetic versions of resveratrol have been made. Most abundant sources of resveratrol have been found in the skin of the grapes used to make red wine, and in other plants such as the japanese knotweed.Many things have a good use, it just has to be found.

Resveratrol is usually sold in capsule form.

Holding the resveratrol in your mouth for a few seconds is the most effect way to ingest resveratrol because it will fully absorb into your system, putting it under your tongue and in your gums will make this even more effective.

Resveratrol is said to be the reason for the "French Paradox" because they drink alot of red wine which contains resveratrol which causes them to have a low prone to heart diseases even though many french have a high fat diet.Resveratrol has been shown to work in humans in high doeses but red wine contains a small amount so this is probably not the only reason for the "French Paradox".

It could be the fact the red wine is sipped slowly, this allows the resveratrol to enter to enter the bloodstream more effectively.
