  • The Best Resveratrol Sources and How To Find The Most Effective Type

  •  As more people become aware of this potent antioxidant, finding the best resveratrol sources can be confusing with so many different accounts of the best one. Here you can find out more about it and the ultimate resveratrol source available today.

    The most popular belief, after the infamous CBS 60 minutes documentary, is that you can get all the benefits by drinking lots of red wine. If only that were true!

    While you can get some from red wine (from the red grape skins), very little actually reaches your bloodstream as it is very hard for your body to absorb on its own, without other synergistic nutrients.

    You would need to drink many liters a day and the adverse effects of the alcohol would cancel out the benefits.

    Other resveratrol sources include peanuts and blueberries and the Japanese knotweed plant.

    The knotweed plant is the most potent source on earth and is used in most supplements. This is the best way to get the maximum health benefits as you can control the amount and purity of what you take.

    The known benefits from this powerful antioxidant include strong anti-cancer properties, anti aging effects, treatment for diabetes, an energy booster and recently a potential treatment for Alzheimer's.

    The most effective type is called trans-resveratrol as this source is the active form. Many supplements use a cis form which is nowhere near as effective but cheaper to use and therefore increases the profits.

    When this antioxidant is blended with other potent nutrients like ginkgo biloba, green tea and piperine from black pepper, its absorption into the bloodstream is significantly increased along with its potency.

    This means you can get the maximum benefits from a smaller dose of around 10-20mg a day. Many companies advertize resveratrol sources containing 500mg a day or more but these are unproven and without a special enteric coating, little if any benefits are realized.

    This is because with powders and pills with cheap veggies caps, most of the benefits are lost to the stomach acid. An enteric coating enables the contents to be protected and released instead in the upper intestine for the maximum rewards.

    Now you know the most effective and potent resveratrol source, you can soon look forward to getting the maximum benefits and living a longer and healthier life.
