Resveratrol is a polyphenol naturally found in the skin of red grapes, certain berries, and other plants. Scientific studies have shown that Resveratrol supports healthy cardiovascular function through various mechanisms. Resveratrol, especially when combined with other polyphenols, is known for it's anti-aging effects, as well as for its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response.
NOW Natural Resveratrol contains a comprehensive blend of polyphenols, including natural resveratrol and proanthocyanins (OPC's from grape seed), plus catechins (green tea extract) for powerful cardiovascular protection.
Resveratrol works its heart-support benefits in two ways. First off, it protects the endothelium, the delicate inner layer of your arteries, from oxidative free radical damage. Second, resveratrol helps to protect the production of nitric oxide, the critical chemical produced by the endothelium that keeps blood vessels optimally dilated.
Benefits include:
Protecting the endothelial lining of your arteries—so blood flows as it should.
Reducing oxidative stress, which prevents premature aging of cells.
Blocking the production of nf kappa b, a powerful, noxious inflammatory agent.
Cellular support that improves mental function, and promotes oral/dental health.
Cancer suppression by preventing cancer cell replication and enhancing cancer cell death in a variety of laboratory cell culture studies.
Muscle health, by reducing muscle wasting associated with diabetes and cancer.
