Antioxidant Protection Resveratrol is a protective compound produced by grapevines and other plants in response to environmental stresses. Human cell culture studies have demonstrated that resveratrol has potent antioxidant activity, as well as the ability to inhibit platelet aggregation. These actions may help prevent free radical damage throughout the body and provide support to the cardiovascular system. KEY FEATURES -

Lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol Resveratrol is touted by nutritionists and biochemists because of its potential as an anticancer and cardioprotective compound. Resveratrol belongs to the phytoalexin class of phytochemicals and functions as a moderate antioxidant, quenching free radical damage linked to several cancers. The compound has also demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties that help it to block reactions associated with the cancer process. In humans, studies are underway to determine health benefits of resveratrol in cancer and heart disease. Preliminary research results demonstrate that resveratrol may have anti-infective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. According to studies involving cancer-prone mice, resveratrol seems to reduce the occurrence of skin tumors. Additional studies suggest that resveratrol is unique because of its ability to battle cancer at all three steps of the cancer process: initiation, promotion, and progression. Researchers believe that resveratrol is partially responsible for the cholesterol-lowering effects of red wine. Epidemiologic and clinical studies suggest that high consumption of resveratrol-rich foods may result in reduced cardiovascular disease risk, lowered total cholesterol, and lowered LDL cholesterol. Resveratrol's antioxidant properties may again be the mechanism at work in reducing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Currently scientists are exploring additional potential health benefits of resveratrol. Suggested Use: 2 tablets twice daily, or as recommended by your health care professional.
