In yesterday’s post, I told you about the Sirtuin breakthrough in anti-aging research.
Scientists have determined that Sirtuin proteins may be the cause of cellular aging.
Currently, there are two methods to improve the functioning of your Sirtuins:
- A very low calorie diet, and
- Resveratrol

Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says many
doctors. Red wine alone does not supply enough resveratrol to achieve the
full range of benefits because one glass of red wine has only about
1mg of resveratrol and you need about 250mg/day. You need to take
high potency resveratrol supplements to achieve the results documented
in scientific studies.Resveratrol Supplements can also help you control
your weight naturally by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting
your appetite.According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand.

Resveratrol is part of a group on antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Found normally and in minimal doses in red wine. Even though the benefits of Resveratrol capsules have been widely publicized up until recently, for decades Doctors around the world have recommended to drink 1 or 2 glasses of wine every day. Coincidentally in the Mediterranean countries, where drinking red wine part of the daily routine, have one of the lowest rates of heart diseases and serious cases of obesity are rare.
