Resveratrol Powder – Find Out Why You Lose Most of The Benefits and The Ultimate Source To Use Instead
There are some specific reasons that make resveratrol powder a poor choice, despite the heavy advertizing you may see. Once you know more about how your body uses this potent antioxidant, you will think twice about using resveratrol powder.

The main reason comes down to absorption.

With resveratrol powder, most of the benefits are lost because of the stomach acid. While it is fine for say fish oils and multi vitamins to be used this way, special nutrients like resveratrol need to be protected from the acid and released in the upper intestine instead.

This is simply achieved by only using supplements with an enteric coating as opposed to a cheap veggie cap for example.

When it comes to the optimal dose, I have seen many powders advertized for 500mg a day or more which are unproven and as you know now, pretty worthless.

The best dose if used with an enteric coating and blended with other natural nutrients is 10-20mg a day.

The reason to use it in a nutritional supplement with other nutrients is to increase the absorption further and benefit from the other ingredients.

Green tea is also a powerful antioxidant and combines synergistically with resveratrol to deliver even more benefits to you.

Others like piperine and bromelain help to increase the absorption many times over, so you get the maximum benefits from a smaller dose.

This is why a stand-alone pill or resveratrol powder is a poor choice as you will get few benefits from this antioxidant on its own.

These benefits include quashing free radical damage that leads to premature aging and disease, treating diabetes, an effective anti-cancer agent shown to help stop cancer in all stages, an energy booster and an aid for weight loss.

I get my supplements from a company in New Zealand called Xtend-Life that delivers worldwide and has had many years experience, and only uses the more potent and active form known as trans-resveratrol from the Japanese knotweed plant.

If you want to get the maximum benefits from this and other potent natural nutrients, forget the powdered form and use a quality supplement to protect your health now and in the future too.

If you want to find out more about the nutritional supplements containing resveratrol which my family and I use on a daily basis, visit Xtend-Life's website today.

To your good health,
