Activate your longevity genes

Resveratrol may be the most effective compound for maintaining optimal health and boosting longevity. Resveratrol is a substance produced by a plant called Vitis vinifera when it is attacked by moulds. Because more and more pesticides are being used in modern wine making, the level of resveratrol in wine has plummeted. Red wine contains resveratrol, but the quantity varies depending on its origin, the time of harvest and other factors. Nowadays, red wine contains only 1-3 mg of resveratrol per litre, even the most robust ones. After years of relentless research, a resveratrol extract is now available as a dietary supplement.

Research funded by Life Extension showed that a combination of low-dose (20 mg) resveratrol plus grapeseed extract mimicked many of the favorable changes in the way genes of calorie-restricted animas are read. Other studies indicate that higher doses may be needed to obtain all of resveratrol’s positive benefits, such as healthy insulin sensitivity, enhanced mitochondrial function, reduced inflammation and protection against the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle. Potentially effective doses have a wide range: from 20 to 250 mg daily and higher. The resveratrol potency may be based on your current state of health and/or your desire to reach a healthier and longer human life span.
