Resveratrol Supplements - Great Or Ineffective?

Resveratrol is found naturally in food products, plant products to be specific. It is a chemical that the plant releases when it is injured or sick. This chemical is phytoaxelin that is produced by plants to ward off disease and repair injured sections of the plants.

There has been some studies involving small rodents that have indicated that this substance can lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure is an anti cancer compound and has other positive cardiovascular effects. Most of these results have yet to be proven in human subjects. There have been studies with fruit flies and short lived fish, where the chemical has extended the life cycle in each, this has not been replicated in mice. It has also been used in studies involving diabetic rats, over a period of thirty days the diabetic rats were given Resveratrol supplements and their blood sugars were markedly reduced, again this has yet to be duplicated in humans.

As with any new wonder drug, these supplements is widely available. They can be found through a host of vendors. These supplements can be found in most vitamin shops, drug stores, and discount warehouse stores and through online vendors.

There is a lot of hype regarding being able to purchase this online. These supplements can be purchased from many online vendors, many of them offering "free trial periods" -- this of course does not come without a catch. Some of these companies offer a free trial period than also offer a service of automatic shipments each month. This may seem like a convenient alternative but the reality is some of these companies are not exactly honest and getting them to stop sending them may be no easy feat. There have been reports of the attorney general's in various states having to get involved to get these companies to release people from being charged.

Avoid products that are called proprietary blends. Resveratrol supplements can add to heart health and may result in other health benefits. Using them just may be the fountain of youth, but only time and further testing will tell.
