Resveratrol

What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol found in the skin, seeds, stem and vine of red wine grapes that exerts significant antioxidant properties. Thought to serve as one explanation for the French Paradox - the idea that the French have a remarkably low incidence of heart disease compared to Americans despite a diet rich in high-fat foods - Resveratrol has over 2,000 associated clinical studies documenting the amazing benefits.

Harvard University biochemists believe that Resveratrol turns on the sirtuin gene, also known as the SIRT1 'longevity gene.' By activating this gene, scientists believe Resveratrol mimics the effects of caloric restriction, which is thought to slow the aging process by limiting dietary energy intake. Resveratrol is also thought to slow many of the degenerative effects associated with aging and may potentially increase lifespan. Some of these health benefits may include protection from Alzheimer's Disease, Arthritis, cardiac disease and certain forms of cancer.

Trans-Resveratrol, the bioactive form of the Resveratrol polyphenol, has been proven in clinical studies to activate SIRT1 and enhance cellular productivity. Trans-Resveratrol has also been shown to increase the number of mitochondria in cells, thus increasing energy capacity and enhancing sensorimotor function.

ResVitále is committed to bringing you the purest product possible, while staying mindful of the health of our consumers and of our planet. By using only premier ingredients and adhering to organic farming practices, we are able to maintain our reputation as the leading brand in youth preservation. Our organic standards deliver products with more nutrients, less additives and organic grapes sourced from vineyards that adhere to rigorous standards of excellence. These organic farming techniques maximize the nourishment you receive, providing you with more nutrients and longer lasting results.

Non-organic farming methods make use of unnatural toxins that can harm our bodies and the environment. Though time efficient, conventional farming methods rely upon the usage of harmful toxins found in fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides that serve no other purpose than to facilitate growth. When consumed over time, these unnatural chemicals are capable of saturating our bodies, focusing our energy on flushing toxins from the ingested supplements rather than utilizing the ingredients to enhance healthy functioning. Similarly, these additives are capable of altering the environment. Unlike our bodies, however, the earth is not able to rid itself of these toxins once absorbed. The importance of living organically is not only an effort to save our bodies, but our planet as well.

When manufactured in a chemical-laden environment, foods and supplements retain trace amounts of chemicals that will be absorbed when digested. A build-up of these chemicals is capable of destroying our bodies and our environment when we forget to heed to an organic lifestyle. However, when practiced, organic products will make you look and feel better. In fact, recent studies show that organic products may provide you with up to 40% more antioxidants than their non-organic counterparts. At ResVitále, our principle is as simple as our formula: pure sources yield pure results.
