Resveratrol: from grape to capsule

What resveratrol is, why it matters that it's "trans" and why a glass of wine isn't enough.

Resveratrol: from grape to capsule

Resveratrol is a polyphenol: a compound some plants produce to defend themselves. It's found in red grape skin, in peanuts and in a plant called Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed), the usual source for supplements.

Why "trans"?

Resveratrol exists in two forms, cis and trans. The trans form is the most stable and the most used in research. That's why our RSV-1000 says so in its name.

What about red wine?

A glass of red wine provides, depending on the grape and how it's made, around 1 to 2 milligrams of resveratrol. One RSV-1000 capsule has 1000 mg. The comparison speaks for itself, and without alcohol.

What is it combined with?

Resveratrol is often studied together with NAD+ precursors, because both are researched in relation to cell metabolism. That's why there's NMN + Resveratrol and the NAD+ and Resveratrol combo.

Research in humans is ongoing and results vary. It isn't a miracle pill: it's a well-characterized polyphenol, at a dose diet alone can't reach.

Dietary supplements do not replace a varied diet or medical treatment. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a health condition, talk to your doctor before starting.
