Resveratrol Extract Powder: Powerful Antioxidant Supplements for a Modern Diet
Resveratrol basics
Resveratrol is a compound that has anti-bacterial properties in plants to fight off bacteria, fungi, and other natural contaminants and harsh environmental circumstances, such as low nutrient and drought conditions. Resveratrol is found in dark grapes, blueberries, cranberries, mulberries, lingonberries, peanuts, and pistachios. Resveratrol is also famously found in the roots of Japanese knotweed.
The recent scientific research has equated the effects of resveratrol consumption with red wine. In 1992, Cornell University plant scientists suggested that resveratrol might be responsible for the cardiovascular benefits, and ever since then, an overwhelming body of research has suggested that this may be a supplementary remedy to protect against cancer, cardiovascular disease, vascular dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease, while contributing to overall life-quality and lifespan.
Possible explanations as to how resveratrol may be effective in treating the above mentioned conditions, is the possibility that it turns on genes that make sirtuins - ancient proteins found in virtually all species. Activating sirtuins kicks off a response that fights disease and prolongs life. The Cell researchers were trying to figure out just how resveratrol might turn on sirtuin genes.
What is Resveratrol by Forest Mana?
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a natural compound found in many different natural fruits, nuts, vegetables and plants, such as red grapes, Japanese knotweed (polygonum cuspidatum), peanuts, blueberries and some other berries. A powerful antioxidant produced by plants as protection against environmental factors, this is to neutralize free radicals, which are believed to be one of the factors which are involved in the process of aging.
Resveratrol is available as dietary supplements from red wine extracts, grape seed extracts and Japanese knotweed extracts among others. Most supplements on the market are derived from Japanese knotweed because this plant has one of the highest concentrations of resveratrol found in nature. This includes resveratrol extract powder by Forest Mana.
The amount and purity of resveratrol in supplements can vary widely. Micronized resveratrol is available in pill or powder form. Forest Mana had originally developed its resveratrol extract powder to come in pill form, but after customer feedback and product trials, it has been decided that the purest and unhindered powder form was the best solution.
