"Findings from published scientific literature indicate that resveratrol
may be the most effective plant extract for maintaining optimal health
and promoting longevity.
Research funded by the Life Extension Foundation showed that a
combination of low-dose (20 mg) resveratrol plus grapeseed extract
mimicked many of the favorable gene expression changes seen in
calorie-restricted animals.
The Grapeseed Extract with Resveratrol & Pterostilbene formula
provides a blend of standardized proanthocyanidins found in grapeseed
and skins. Grapeseed extract helps to maintain healthy platelet function
and other aspects of platelet responses, and protects the central
nervous system from reactive oxygen species. This whole grape extract
contains a spectrum of polyphenols that are naturally contained in red
wine such as proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, flavonoids, etc. This
blend also provides standardized trans-resveratrol, the polyphenol in
red wine that has shown so many health benefits and the plant extract
pterostilbene, which researchers have found works synergistically with
resveratrol to activate longevity genes.
In laboratory tests, pterostilbene has shown promise for supporting
cardiovascular health, glucose levels that are already within normal
range, anti-aging and cognitive function. It helps improve mitochondrial
function and supports healthy metabolic function by activating SIRT1
and mimicking calorie restriction. It has also shown potential to ease
inflammation and support antioxidant activity."
