Each vegetable capsule of Solgar's Resveratrol offers 500 mg of natural trans-Resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum. Solgar Resveratrol is free of gluten, wheat and dairy. Resveratrol, a polyphenol, was first isolated in grape skins. Resveratrol also occurs in peanuts, red wine, and some herbs such as Polygonum cuspidatum. Polyphenols possess powerful antioxidant activity that helps fight cell-damaging free radicals in the body. Free radicals can lead to the premature aging of cells.

In recent years, the scientific anti-aging community discovered a family of genes in mammals called SIR (in lower animals) or SIRT (in mammals) encoding for proteins called sirtuins. These proteins were shown to improve quality of life under conditions of caloric restriction. Since severe caloric restriction is not a sustainable or ideal practice for humans, researchers began searching for natural products that could turn on SIRT genes. They discovered that Resveratrol could mimic the positive effects or caloric restriction. Additional studies showed that even with high-calorie diets, resveratrol turned on SIRT genes, which supported healthy biomarkers such as increased insulin sensitivity and balanced blood sugar that are usually compromised with high-calorie diets. While research in humans is ongoing, this incoming data shows great promise. Previous studies have shown Resveratrol is cardioprotective.

Research suggests that higher doses of resveratrol are efficacious for the support of healthy biomarkers and improved quality of life.
