Fresh Look At Resveratrol Benefits

By Thomas Sinclair

Before learning about Resveratrol benefits many people will want to know what it is. For a more methodical type mind, Resveratrol is a polyphenol compound that is found in plants. For everybody else, it's that stuff in red wine that has been talked about for years to lower heart attack risk. Turns out, it has more benefits than just that.

While Resveratrol is found in grape skins and seeds, it is also found in a lot of other plants. It's a phytoalexin (plant antibiotic) that is also commonly found in peanuts and peanut butter. The Resveratrol works as an antibiotic when plants are battled by pathogens like bacteria and fungi. That's why, it makes perfect sense that it would do the same thing in humans to some extent.

There are all kinds of researches being done on this compound because studies done on rats and mice have been very promising. Currently number of studies are being conducted to see if it will have the beneficial effect on colon cancer and melanoma on humans that it has on the rat studies.

When used in a cream form, Resveratrol benefits are found on many types of skin cancer. The affects resulting when the cream is used on any kind of virus or bacterial skin condition are very significant.

When taken orally the Resveratrol benefits include reducing plaque formation around the brain which helps people with conditions like Alzheimer's. It also lowers blood sugar, boosts the metabolism, helps with skin care, and assists with weight loss. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps with anti-coagulation.

A number of researchers have found that the doses required to get specific results from supplements can vary, and they have proven that the amount of Resveratrol found in red wine isn't enough to supply the kind of benefits that result from taking more of the supplement.

As research and study continues there will be more Resveratrol benefits found for humans. Over the next few years the research and studies will have solid data that will show the benefits that can be attained by including Resveratrol as a supplement in one's diet. - 17274
