What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is primarily obtained from the Japanese knotweed root, but can also be derived from other plant sources.
The most important thing to look for when purchasing a resveratrol supplement is the percentage of trans-resveratrol it contains. This is the active ingredient and beneficial substance found in resveratrol.
Many websites do not disclose the grade of their resveratrol, and this is primarily because they are low percentage examples. The majority of them range from as little as 10%, so here it is important to remember that these may only contain as little as 50mg of trans-resveratrol per 500mg serving!
BulkPowders.co.uk resveratrol is 99% pure, meaning that a 500mg serving will provide you with a massive 495mg of trans-resveratrol per serving. This makes our resveratrol one of the purest and highest potency examples available anywhere in the world.
Where to find Resveratrol:
Resveratrol is found in grapes and wine, in particular red grapes and red wine. Scientists believe this goes some way to explaining the low incidences of coronary heart disease in France. It also supports the age old saying “In Vino Sanitas” or “In wine there is health”.
It can also be found in other dietary sources such as blueberries and peanuts.
Resveratrol can also be referred to as:
Trans-resveratrol, transresveratrol, knotweed, Japanese knotweed, polygonum cuspidatum, knotweed resveratrol, resveratrol supplement, pure resveratrol, resveratrol powder, reversatrol.
Why use Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is the latest ‘wonder supplement’ to hit the industry. The mass of positive research and feedback surrounding it, is simply undeniable.
Reasons to supplement with a high quality resveratrol supplement include:
- Anti aging — Research carried out on worms, flies, fish and mice has shown that resveratrol extended the lives of all these species, and in some cases by 70%. Because humans and animals age in the same way (ie when DNA becomes damaged) it is thought that this research is extremely relevant to humans.
- Improving heart health — Scientific studies have shown that resveratrol acts as an anti-inflammatory, inhibiting inflammatory enzymes believed to be a contributing factor in clogging arteries and causing heart attacks. Furthermore, treating heart attack sufferers with resveratrol reduced the mortality rate in mice from 50% to just 10%.
- Lower Cholesterol — Resveratrol is a very powerful antioxidant that helps prevent the cell damage caused by free radicals. It is also believed that it blocks cholesterol oxidation.
- Weight Loss — A study using mice showed that resveratrol increased their metabolism and endurance levels. Essentially the mice were able to use larger amounts of calories, thus avoiding weight gain. A human study is currently underway and researchers are expecting very similar results in humans.
- Treatment of diseases — There have been various studies performed on animals that suggest resveratrol can be used effectively in the treatment of cancer, alzheimers and diabetes. The results are very promising but please remember that this product is not intended to treat, cure or prevent disease.
Why use Resveratrol?
The main benefits of resveratrol are health orientated, however it has been shown to have a positive impact on physical performance too.
The central performance benefit is its ability to increase endurance in the user. A study by the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology found that mice given oral doses of resveratrol were able to run 100% farther than those that weren’t. The lead scientist who carried out this study expected that these results would also be transferrable to humans based on his research of the gene that is influenced by resveratrol.
The aforementioned study also produced an interesting phenomenon in that the mice that were administered resveratrol had a reduced heart rate and noticeably more muscle tone. The lead scientist actually stated that “Resveratrol makes you look like a trained athlete without the training”!
Finally the mice in the experiment that were supplemented with resveratrol had greater numbers of mitochondria in their muscle cells. This effectively allowed the mice to burn extra calories, which suggests that resveratrol helps combat weight gain.

| WOW! |
"WOW! That's all i can say. Kind of thought this sounded too good to be true, but since using this for the last 2 months I have:
1) Significantly lower cholesterol levels according to my doctor.
2) Lower blood pressure, again according to my doctor.
3) More energy and enthusiasm for life.
4) I just generally feel great!
I can't put the above down to anything else, as nothing in my life has changed. If this really is because of the resveratrol then i would suggest you try it too 1000%! I will be purchasing another 100g soon and plan to use this indefinately.
For those who are considering resveratrol as a supplement then as the product description states, check the purity! The BP resveratrol is 99% trans resveratrol, other ones i looked at were around 50% and were more expensive.
No i don't work for BulkPowders, but wish i did, maybe you could pay me in resveratrol ;-)" |
