Resveratrol

Description:  Resveratrol is commonly found in red grapes and wine, as well as pine trees and peanuts. It has been used in Asian cultures for many years for the purposes of treating heart problems, as well as disorders of the liver. The many benefits of Resveratrol include antioxidant properties, which means it is capable of ridding the body of dangerous and harmful free radicals that might eventually lead to the development of cancer. It is also thought to be capable of actually killing cancer cells that have already developed. Additionally, Resveratrol is beneficial in protecting the central nervous system, regulating hormones and acting as a blood thinning agent. Further benefits of Resveratrol include reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, especially when combined with Vitamin E and Vitamin C. Early studies indicate that Resveratrol may also have uses in therapeutic treatment of post stroke care, as well as injury and trauma related to the spine and central nervous system. Rece
