Macro - Your thoughts on Resveratrol

[beefybull]

What do you think about Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) and its effects on Sirtuin genes and human health in general?

Should one drink 1-3oz of Red wine a day or take it in supplement form

I'd like to know this too.

dear beefy,
resveratrol is useless. why? because it is just another crap promotion from the supplement industry. there is zero science on this. that's a fact. go to MEDLINE or any medical library and look it up- there's just no science here. it's all an advertising scam. i LOVE natural supplements and take about 15 of them a day plus the natural hormones i need.
if you want to see which supplements have SCIENCE behind them please read my book Zen Macrobiotics for Americans at amazon.com.
these include beta glucan, beta-sitosterol, CoQ10, lipoic acid, NAC, PS, ALC, vitamin D, vitamin E, beta carotene, a good mineral supplement, flax oil, acidophilus, FOS, quercitin, DIM, soy isoflavones, L-glutamine and glucosamine among others.
if resveratrol had an value i'd be taking it and have a file full of studies on it. there aren't any except a few useless cell culture studies. this is junk.

There is plenty of science on this. Resveratrol has been shown to activate sirtuin genes, the genes some people possess which allow them to live abnormally long (9 out of 10 ppl out over 100 yrs old may have these genes)

Can't you drink 100% grape juice and have close to same effects as red wine?
