What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol a compound found primarily in red wine, is a naturally occurring antioxidant.  Antioxidants protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals present in our food, body and environment.
It is also known as a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi.

What Does Resveratrol Do?

Support a healthy immune system via its antioxidant activities
Help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system
Help to maintain healthy blood sugar levels
Help to maintain skin care via antioxidant activities.

Ingredients

Resveratrol 50mg (50mg of elemental trans-resveratrol from polygonum cuspidatum 50% standised extract.)

Other Inactive Ingredients :

Microcrstalline Cellulose, Silicon Dioxide and Magnesium Stearate. (Capsule Shell: HPMC Vegetable Source – Clear)

In comparison an 8-ounce glass of red wine provides approximately 640 mcg of resveratrol, while a handful of peanuts provide about 73 mcg of resveratrol. Adora Resveratrol provides 50mg trans-resveratrol.  Mcg (micrograms) are 1000 times smaller than mg (milligrams).

Studies on resveratrol benefits

A lot of researches has been done regarding resveratrol benefits. Much of this research has shown varying degrees of proof regarding popular claims about the antioxidant. Resveratrol benefits ranging from weight loss to anti-aging characteristics to cancer fighting abilities have been studied at great length by researchers anxious to prove or disprove claims regarding resveratrol. What is certain is that resveratrol does contain antibiotic capabilities; what’s still uncertain is just how effective it is in human beings.

Anti-aging properties

Antioxidants are compounds that lend fruits and vegetables their bright colors; in humans, some believe resveratrol benefits extend to include anti-aging qualities. However, eating fresh fruits and vegetables is undoubtedly excellent for one’s health; one has to wonder whether resveratrol benefits like anti-aging characteristics are due to the antioxidant itself, or to people who are generally more health conscious. Either way, taking a resveratrol capsule is probably a good way to boost a healthy diet in general.

Weight loss and resveratrol

One of the resveratrol benefits extolled by its promoters is its ability to activate the SiRT1 gene in people. This gene is the same one that “comes to life” when a person begins restricting calories; it works to break down stored fat in the body. Therefore, when combined with a weight loss regimen, resveratrol benefits dieters by further enhancing the effects on the SiRT1 gene, kicking it into overdrive and potentially helping people achieve their weight loss goals.

Cancer and resveratrol

Resveratrol benefits are not reserved only to the body image end of the health spectrum; thanks to its antioxidant properties, resveratrol is believed to have effective cancer fighting characteristics.

Some studies have shown that resveratrol fights against cancers by inhibiting the growth of existing tumors – and preventing the growth of new ones. Clinical trials are still being conducted regarding resveratrol benefits regarding cancer, but in the meantime resveratrol does hold much promise.

Longevity gene and the benefits of resveratrol

Another resveratrol benefits being investigated is its effect on the longevity gene. This gene, called SiRT1, is known primarily for its fat fighting abilities. However, it has been suggested that a calorie restricted diet – and the activation of this gene – promotes longevity in humans. People looking to extend their life spans, then, are certain to be intrigued by resveratrol benefits like these; considering its other purported benefits, it can be an effective dietary supplement.

 
The chemical, resveratrol, has been shown to lengthen the life span of yeast and improve health in laboratory animals, but scientists do not yet know whether the substance might also benefit humans.

Two new studies of older or overweight people suggest that it can, by helping boost the action of insulin. And a study in mice shows that the chemical works through a previously unknown mechanism to halt harmful blood vessel growth in the retina.

As people age or gain weight, their ability to respond to insulin declines. Some people become mildly resistant to insulin’s action, so that their muscles and other tissues no longer take up and burn glucose efficiently. That condition, known as insulin resistance, is one of the first steps toward diabetes. Now, researchers have found that resveratrol improves the response to insulin in overweight people with insulin resistance and older people with mild insulin resistance. The older people in the study were an average age of 72.

People in the two studies took supplements containing resveratrol at concentrations much higher than are found in food “or even several bottles of wine,” says Jill Crandall, an endocrinologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. “We’re encouraged by these results, but do have to stress that they are preliminary.” Crandall presented the results of the two studies in Anaheim, Calif., June 27 and June 28 at a meeting of the American Diabetes Association.

“The benefits of resveratrol are unproven and the risks seem minimal, but haven’t been formally tested,” Crandall says. She and her colleagues also don’t know how resveratrol may be working in the body to boost the response to insulin.

Resveratrol has previously been shown to stimulate the activity of proteins known as sirtuins, which have been linked to longer life and better regulation of metabolism in laboratory animals. But a new animal study indicates that resveratrol may work through other biological processes to stop blood vessels from invading the retina and causing blindness associated with eye diseases such as macular degeneration, or retinopathies caused by diabetes or premature birth.

Resveratrol inhibited blood vessel growth in the retinas of mice that had injuries to their eyes caused by lasers, a new study appearing in the July issue of the American Journal of Pathology shows. Resveratrol was able to stop blood vessel growth even when researchers inactivated the sirtuin proteins, indicating that the chemical’s effect on blood vessel growth must work by another mechanism.

That mechanism turns out to be a biological process involving a protein known as elongation factor-2 kinase, says Rajendra Apte, a retinal surgeon at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who led the study.

Other researchers have suspected that resveratrol may do its work through more than just sirtuins (SN: 8/2/08, p. 14), but the new study provides some of the first evidence that resveratrol may take multiple pathways toward improving health.

If Apte’s results hold up in clinical trials, resveratrol might one day be used in conjunction with current therapies against advanced stages of macular degeneration, says Jerry Niederkorn, an ocular immunologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. “It looks like this could deliver a one-two punch” in conjunction with other therapies, says Niederkorn, who was not involved in the research.
