Resveratrol was discovered by Dr. David Sinclair Harvard University by accident. When he stumbled upon this molecule from red wine he almost fell off his chair because scientists have found that red wine is beneficial for our health but as yet they could not isolate the elusive substance that’s responsible for this.

Resveratrol works by resetting your body biological clock and hence slowing down aging. It acts directly on NPT1, the gene that manages aging by turning it on. In an experiment with mice, researchers discovered that resveratrol in fact activated the gene and thus the mice could live 30% longer. The healthier mice appeared to have no heart disease or cancer.

The quantity of wine we take daily has miniscule effect. So according to Dr. David Sinclair you need about 1000 bottles of red wine a day to slow down the aging process. Anyway, its not a big deal you can simply get resveratrol which are readily available at the nearby pharmacy.

Researchers around the world discovered that not only resveratrol slows down aging process, but it could also control your excess weight as well. Others found that it could even destroy cancer cells in our body.

Watch out for the percent absorption when you intend to buy resveratrol supplements. The quick guide below might help.

Method of Delivery (% absorption)

1. Tablet (10%)

2. Capsule (18%)

3. Transdermal Patch (55%)

4. Intra-Muscular Injection (90%)

5. Intra-Oral Spray (98%)

What I would like to point out is that its not worth buying resveratrol in the form of pill or tablet as 90% of resveratrol could not be absorbed by our body. The resveratrol protein molecule is too big to be absorbed by our digestive system and besides it is susceptible to being digested by the digestive enzymes and render it useless. The best way is via intra-oral spray that is by spraying directly into your mouth and this has 98% absorption. Therefore this is the best method of delivery, period.

With the above information, you could prevent yourself from being tempted to buy inexpensive resveratrol tablets or capsules that finally end up in the drain.

I would like to recommend that in order to get the best benefit of resveratrol, it should be combined with any of these anti-aging substances and antioxidants such as noni, acai, amalaki, goji, mangosteen, aloe vera, maqui, black currant, grape seed extract, pomegranate and pine bark extract.
