Resveratrol zit in druivenschillen en andere voedingsmiddelen met rood pigment. Het is een van de meest bekende polyfenolen - en terecht. Het werkt in verschillende stadia van het proces van kankerontwikkeling. Resveratrol is een genmodificerend middel dat de celresistentie tegen oxidant- en ontstekingsbevorderende stress verbetert.
Het heeft meerdere, complementaire effecten op de ontwikkeling van darmkanker, zoals het “inschakelen” van een tumoronderdrukkend gen dat vroeg in het carcinogeneseproces wordt “uitgeschakeld”, en het afremmen van proteïnen die bevorderlijk zijn voor het binnendringen in genen van kankercellen. Voorlopige studies bij mensen tonen aan dat een orale dosis resveratrol tussen 500 en 5000 mg per dag anti-carcinogene effecten heeft. Voor mensen die een brede verscheidenheid van polyfenolen binnen krijgen uit gezonde voeding en supplementen, volstaan waarschijnlijk lagere doses (100-250 mg per dag).
The making of our Organic Red Wine Grape Skin concentrate begins with the finest, purest, certified organic red wine grapes from the Niagara region of Canada. The deep red skins of this powerful fruit harbor some of nature's most health-protective compounds of all time, including polyphenols and anthocyanin pigments. These phytonutrients are most concentrated in the skin of the berry — with up to 17 different anthocyanin varieties present! No wonder the grape is deemed small but mighty for its ability to slow free radical damage in our bodies. With a long list of benefits including cardio-protection, skin health, and nervous system support, the grape is much more than just a sweet, tasty treat.
Ever heard of the French Paradox — the well-studied anomaly of low heart disease in France despite high consumption of disease-provoking fatty foods? Well, it turns out that one of their secrets may be the daily consumption of 1-2 glasses of red wine. Grape skins, vines, and roots contain a unique natural compound called resveratrol. Resveratrol is the subject of hundreds of studies, many of which corroborate this compound's positive influence on a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. What many don't know is that there is another very potent source of this powerful phytonutrient. It's called Japanese Knotweed, often referred to as Hu Zhang in the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine from which it originates. Japanese knotweed is rich in the most bioavailable form of this healthy aging nutrient: trans-resveratrol not the other cis form, which is not well utilized by our bodies. The cardiovascular health benefits attributed to trans-resveratrol includes favorable effects on blood pressure, decreased oxidative stress as well as healthy circulation. And let's not forget about its neuroprotective and skin benefits.
