A short talk about resveratrol

11.11.2017

Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in red wine. It exhibits powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Anti-aging companies have already discovered it for themselves (check out an article about this incredible anti-aging compound here), but resveratrol can do more.

It has been demonstrated that this compound activates so-called sirtuins in your body. These can increase insulin sensitivity, which means your cells respond better to glucose and thus the body does not need to release as much insulin. This is especially cool for people with type II diabetes!

A daily intake of 100mg resulted in significantly reduced fasting glucose levels. Blood pressure was reduced as well. Resveratrol also reduces oxidative damage and thus inflammation.
