I just got back from my wife's grandfather's 100th birthday party.  At the festivities he danced to the music, ate cake, and flirted with the women.  At 100 years of age this should be amazing enough, but when you add to it the fact that he has been drinking, smoking, and eating red meat all of his life,  has had malignant melanomas removed and has had leukemia for the last 5 years, you begin to wonder.

They say that longevity appears to be controlled by a gene.  Some of us have it switched on; most of us don't.  But is there hope on the horizon in the form of resveratrol?  If you haven't heard of it you should take a few minutes to view the 60 Minutes clip.  In short, it is supposed to turn on our survival gene and give us up to 125 years of life.   And since it is a natural supplement found beneath the skins of certain kinds of grapes, it is unregulated by the FDIC...good news and bad news.

Caveat Emptor

 As the Latin phrase says, "Let the buyer beware."  The health industry is exploding with resvaratrol claims and counter claims.  Some providers promise you everything from a cancer cure to effortless weight loss.  There are web sites set up to look like places that review health care products but they are really fronts for sellers steering the unsuspecting to their product.  Even the famous Dr. Oz endorses his brand of resvaratrol promising a 15 day free trial.  (Hint: Read the fine print.) What is the truth and where do you find it? 

There are sites including the one with Dr. Oz featured on it that will continue sending you pills and billing your credit card 40$ to 80$ a pop until you specifically stop them.  They do this, of course, as a service for you in case you fail to experience the benefits of their product and do not buy more pills.  

Not all Pills are created equal.

You can't just look for the cheapest resveratrol price on the web. when considering which type of resveratrol to buy you should be aware of how much of the drug will make it into your bloodstream. Paying a few dollars for a lot of pills that do nothing for you is a bigger waste of money than paying a lot for a few pills that actually work. A lot of the resveratrol that you spent your hard earned money on will often times not benefit you at all because it does not survive the digestion process. Another factor is standardization. The amount of resveratrol in pills are usually standardized at 99% or 50%. While the cost of the 50%variety is much less,  so are the benefits. If this isn't enough, you need to consider whether you should buy micronized resveratrol or not. When resveratrol is micronized it is basically broken down into particles about the size of a red blood cell. This helps with absorption and gets more of the resveratrol into your blood stream-- it also will cost you around 80$ for one month's supply.

Don't buy from over hyped web-sites that often trick you into subscription purchases. They will keep billing your credit card and sending you pills month after month at $80 a pop whether you want them or not.  If you want this service, that's OK but you should be the one to chose it.  Read the terms and conditions section of the web site before purchasing anything.  You can usually find the link to it in tiny letters at the bottom of the web page.  If it sounds like hype that's because it is.

Absorption rates are important

 Should you try pills, liquid, shots or what?  So far it appears that holding a liquid in your mouth and letting it absorb directly into your blood stream through the inside of your mouth is the best way to take resveratrol.  This is known as buccal delivery.  They found the 1 ml of resveatrol taken this way put as much resveratrol into your blood stream as a 250 ml pill taken with a glass of water. The problem with pills is that the stomach, intestines and liver metabolize it so quickly.  So the money you are paying some website to deliver pills to you monthly may simple be wasted.  If you are thinking of getting your resveratrol from wine you can forget it.  In experiments people drinking red wine only had trace amounts of resveratrol in their blood streams.

Conclusion

If you are going to try resveratrol I would suggest you get a good liquid and let it sit in your mouth for a minute or so and not waste money with pills that do not translate into the blood stream well. If you must use pills, find a good micronized variety rather than the standard variety.  Last but not least: ad multos annos

I was born to itinerate teachers February 16, 1960 in a tiny town, in a clinic beside a grain elevator, in eastern Washington. From there our family moved every two years around the state until I was 6.

At the age of 6 my parents moved to Nigeria, West Africa, where we stayed until I was 12. We then moved to New York City. After two years there, we left for North Dakota. Finally, after that, we moved to Maryland where I married the most beautiful bride and have been ever since.

I enjoy writing, making music, art, golf, and racquetball.

Resveratrol - Dr. Oz Talks Weight Loss & The Secret Behind It

Resveratrol Ultra is the new buzz in anti aging supplements. Resveratrol is the active ingredient that is associated with such dramatic results, it is being touted as the supplement to take for a longer and healthier life. To benefit from the effects of resveratrol, a person would need to drink over a dozen bottles of wine a day. Resveratrol ultra is now available in pill form so the benefits of this restorative supplement can be enjoyed without drinking red wine to excess.

Resveratrol is a derivative compound that occurs naturally in plants such as grapes, berries and peanuts. This natural enzyme is demonstrated in the French (who consume red wine on a daily basis throughout their lifetimes) by their uncanny ability to enjoy good heart health while eating a diet with high fat content. It has been shown in scientific testing to be beneficial in preventing the onset of diseases of aging such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's and cancer. There have also been studies that show calorie restriction without feeling hungry during the process.

The benefits are broad and contribute to living a long healthy life free from disease. Resveratrol Ultra can assist with the signs of aging by activating siRT1, an enzyme associated with cell repair genes called sirtuins. Cardiovascular function and health is improved by speeding up cell rejuvenation. Anti-inflammatory properties help with healing of small injuries such as bruising. Resveratrol contains antioxidants which also block free radicals from causing the effects of aging.

The significance of this research is ground breaking for those who would like to repair aging cells and live longer. Studies show that resveratrol taken daily is the key to living a much longer life free from the worry of age and weight related diseases. It could be revolutionary in changing the way we feel and look in old age.

Pills to speed up metabolism-Resveratrol sirtris

This is if the human trials eventually show resveratrol to be highly effective, similar to animal studies, would it then be considered as the best of all the supplements? Would it be considered even better than any drug on the market for the well-being of individuals in good health? I also think that a balanced diet is good and recommended for people. But you can not get the amount of resveratrol supplement your diet, which is the case for several other supplements as well. People do not fill in all the available compounds, but only those they believe to be most beneficial. Furthermore, I believe that if resveratrol can calorie restriction similar effects in humans, and if caloric restriction appears to be very effective in humans. It could add decades of healthy life for a person with a balanced diet nutricious.

not the best, however, one of the largest ......
