Resveratrol,…In The News Again
The stampede is on. Everyone and their dog is getting a resveratrol product to market.
There are now more than 200 resveratrol products on the market. Since the recent appearance of Dr. David Sinclair on CBS’s 60 Minutes, that number has nearly doubled.
But it is “Buyer Beware.”
Research has shown there is little if any resveratrol in most of these products.
There is plenty of marketing hype going around.
Consumers will be greatly disappointed when the products they use don’t live up to their expectations.
That is really a sad thing, because the anti-aging promise of resveratrol is real.
The amount or resveratrol in these products do not come close to the amounts used in the research.
Resveratrol is considered key in protecting the body against heart disease, cancer and neurological diseases, according to Dr. Joseph Maroon, a neuroscience professor at the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine.
According to him, it can prevent some infections, serve as an antiviral, reduce obesity, protect against some forms of diabetes and slow the effects of aging.
There is one product that lives up to the research claims of Dr. Sinclair from Harvard.
It comes from the # 1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S. This 53 year-old company spent years developing their resveratrol product.
It was the most difficult and most expensive product in their history.
It is patented and years ahead of pharmaceutical companies quests for a drug.
When considering a resveratrol product, do your homework.
Companies can refer to the research, but what research has been done on THEIR resveratrol product and what are the findings?
Remember, not all resveratrol products are created equally.
I agree with everything you have said here. Companies are so quick to jump on the new ingredient that science finds and that is where the integrity stops. Most companies do not have their own science and research that can produce high quality, pharmaceutical grade products that are effective and deliver fantastic results. This hurts our industry but gives those of us that represent reputable brands more cause to spread the word!
