Trans-Resveratrol Supplement

Resveratrol is a phenolic compound and part of the family of flavonoids, known for their powerful antioxidant activity. It can inhibit the production of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leucotrienes, compounds involved in inflammatory reactions and platelet aggregation.

What do Studies say About Trans-Resveratrol?

Since the 1990s, the potential health benefits of resveratrol have been the subject of hundreds of studies.

• They have shown that resveratrol interferes with a number of mechanisms involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. Due to its antioxidant potency, it protects lipids from peroxidative damage and, in a dose-dependent manner, prevents oxidized LDL from entering the vascular wall (a key stage in the development of atherosclerosis).
• Appears to reduce the secretion of VLDL by the liver, thus preventing hepatic metabolism of lipoproteins.
• Stops proliferation of cells in blood vessels which restrict the lumen.
• Prevents many stages of carcinogenesis as it appears to fight cancer in a number of ways, from blocking estrogens to modulating genes. It combats many cancers in terms of prevention and treatment, and destroys cancer cells, boosting certain chemotherapies.
• Its anti-inflammatory action is effective, with the additional benefit of providing free radical protection. It inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines in obstructive pulmonary disease, making it an effective treatment for this lung disorder.
• Protects the brain from free radical attack and beta-amyloid neurotoxicity.
• In yeast, it activates a longevity gene. Its effects mimic those of caloric restriction, the only proven way to increase maximum lifespan.
• In obese mice, it prevents the negative effects of a high-calorie diet and increased their survival rate. It improves glucose tolerance and fasting glycemia, though it does not affect their weight.
• In animals, it boosts the exercise capacity of their muscles and protects them from resistance to the pancreatic hormone induced their by diet and obesity.

As a result of its protective properties and anti-aging effects, resveratrol is a very popular antioxidant nutritional supplement. To obtain maximum benefit, choose the most active form – trans-resveratrol in capsules, available to buy at SuperSmart.

It can be combined with other antioxidants as in the formulation AntiOxidant Synergy. You can also buy this resveratrol-like compound called pterostilbene. With very similar chemical structures, resveratrol and pterostilbene share many benefits including significant antioxidant potency. These antioxidant effects are offered by the formulation Resveratrol Synergy capsules, which contains both compounds.
