ABSTRACT:
Resveratrol, a polyphenolic molecule has been drawing more interest as for its beneficial effects on health. One of the greatest saviors of them all is polyphenols; something that we hear about a lot as it combats anti-aging, anti-inflammation and acts like an antioxidant that is very abundant in red wine, grapes and several plants. Data from the literature relating the resveratrol (3,4'-5-trihydroxystilbene) content of wines to longevity, cancer prevention in grape-derived products, neuroprotection and cardiovascular health are reviewed. While the results are promising, there is still much left to be desired when trying to transfer these benefits into humans primarily due to an issue of bioavailability. Please About this Article: This article also reviews the mechanisms of action, clinical trials and safety profile of resveratrol ingestion.
