Description: We are the manufacturers and distributors of pharmaceutical grade resveratrol.*Studies have shown that resveratrol may slow aging and has possible benefits of keeping weight down, warding off diabetes, preventing cancer, increasing exercise endurance, preventing heart disease and preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Here is what they’re saying about resveratrol: “You’d have to go back to the advent of antibiotics to find such broad therapeutic potential.” Fortune Magazine, February 12, 2007 “Resveratrol seems to flip a genetic switch that protects against diseases of aging: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, you name it.” Men’s Journal, March 2007 “Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit many types of cancer cells in culture.” National Cancer Institute, November 27, 2002 “Resveratrol may turn out to be the first anti-aging drug…” Best Life, October 2007 “Resveratrol makes you look like a trained athlete without the training,” Dr. Johan Auwerx , Institute of Genetics and Molecular Biology in Illkirch, France New York Times, November 17, 2006 “Resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, lowers the level of amyloid-beta peptides which cause the telltale senile plaques of Alzheimer’s disease.” Journal of Biological Chemistry, November 11, 2005 “Resveratrol is found in the skins of red grapes and red wine and is conjectured to be a partial explanation for the French paradox, the puzzling fact that people in France enjoy a high fat diet yet suffer less heart disease than Americans.” New York Times, November 2, 2006 *Fortune Magazine, February 12, 2007
