Trans-Resveratrol from Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum)

alpha life supplements

 

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol compound found in certain plants, grapes and berries. There are many health benefits associated with resveratrol, including:

Cardiovascular health
Blood pressure regulation
Resveratrol has been shown to help regulate blood pressure by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, which are linked to hypertension (Wong et al., 2016).

Cholesterol regulation
Resveratrol has been shown to help regulate cholesterol levels by reducing the formation of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to heart disease (Wong et al., 2016).

Anti-inflammatory properties
Joint health
Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce joint pain and inflammation associated with arthritis (Chen et al., 2019).

Digestive health
Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in the gut, which can help to reduce symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Larrosa et al., 2009).

Anti-cancer properties
Breast cancer prevention
Resveratrol has been shown to help prevent the development and progression of breast cancer by inhibiting cancer cell growth and promoting apoptosis (Shakibaei et al., 2008).

Colon cancer prevention
Resveratrol has been shown to help prevent the development and progression of colon cancer by reducing inflammation and inhibiting cancer cell growth (Bishayee et al., 2013).

Anti-aging properties
Cellular health
Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-aging properties by promoting cellular health and reducing oxidative stress (Aluyen et al., 2012).

Cognitive function
Resveratrol has been shown to have positive effects on cognitive function by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow to the brain (Wong et al., 2016).
