Science is catching up with nature with the new discovery of the power of resveratrol, the active ingredient in red wine that provides its reported health benefits. Found in the dense skin of red grapes, resveratrol has been tested scientifically to have a multitude of beneficial health effects, including anti-aging, anti-cancer, antiviral and anti-inflammatory. It has also been seen to produce increased athletic performance and is being used by professional athletes on the cutting-edge of sports medicine. So far the majority of the research has been on animals, but human trials are ongoing and promising.
To get the most benefit from resveratrol, taking it in a concentrated form extracted from either red grapes or the Japanese knotweed is the best course. These nutritional supplements are available from a wide variety of health stores. These come in different concentrations and also often have other vitamins and minerals added as filler, so be certain to read the ingredients carefully and compare with other brands.
