Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol found in a number of fruits and nuts, especially grapes and peanuts.

Resveratrol is one of the most well-researched natural compounds, primarily investigated for its role in improving cellular health and its healthy aging and longevity effects. It was originally thought to explain the “French Paradox”; the resveratrol content of wine was considered responsible for the reduced incidence of obesity and cardiovascular disease observed among French people, despite a high-fat diet.

Resveratrol is known to be a potent antioxidant, protecting cells against free radical (oxidative) stress. Not only is it an antioxidant itself, but it also activates many different molecular pathways in cells that provide additional protection. This additional antioxidant protection has been linked to cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and healthy aging effects.

Resveratrol has also been shown to activate a “longevity gene” known as SIRT1. In experimental models, SIRT1 activation has been linked to increased healthspan and longevity, improved cardiovascular function, and a reduced risk for many age-related conditions.

Clinical trials have shown multiple benefits with resveratrol supplementation, including improvements in markers of oxidative stress and metabolism, brain function, and cardiovascular risk factors.

Bioclinic Naturals’ Resveratrol is extracted from red grapes grown in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia and from Japanese knotweed.
It contains 100% trans-resveratrol, considered the most bioavailable and stable form of resveratrol.
