What is Resveratrol?<\/strong>
\n\"red<\/a>Resveratrol is a natural compound found in the skin of grapes (therefore, also in red wine) that is claimed to drastically reduce aging related illnesses, including heart disease, Alzheimer\u2019s, and diabetes. The claim behind this is that you will live longer and live a healthier life.\u00a0 Dr. Oz<\/a> discussed taking resveratrol in supplement form on Oprah raving about how he takes it and how pleased he is with it. This supplement is supposed to make you healthier while helping you lose weight and prolong your life. This supplement is supposedly able to counter the multiple negative effects of a high fat diet.<\/p>\n

There are now many resveratrol supplements<\/a> on the market that contain a very high concentration of resveratrol.\u00a0 In fact, to receive the amount of resveratrol in these supplements you would have to drink 1,000 bottles of wine a day, which obviously would not be recommended.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does and doesn’t resveratrol do for health and weight loss?<\/strong>
\nThe information I found on the product is that resveratrol \u201cactivates the body\u2019s natural, genetic defenses against diseases.\u201d\u00a0 Also, this supplement is supposed to be effective even if you have a poor diet, including consuming a high amount of fat.\u00a0 The product may not be able to improve your health directly, but it could \u201cslow down\u201d the path that your health is on.\u00a0 This is where huge red flags come up for me.\u00a0 So much research is out there displaying how a poor diet is linked to and associated with many diseases<\/a> and cancer. I\u2019m very skeptical that a supplement would be able to counteract a high fat diet.\u00a0 How can one lose weight while maintaining the same diet (calories consumed) and not adding any exercise?\u00a0 Any product that claims to do that is too good to be true.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"red-wine\"<\/a>Is the supplement better than just drinking wine?<\/strong>
\nAs discussed above, in order for one to obtain the potency of this supplement they would have to drink 1,000 bottles of wine a day.\u00a0 Still in my eyes, eating the whole food is better than taking a supplement for it.\u00a0 I\u2019m not certain if the drinking 1,000 bottles has any truth behind it, but I\u2019m not ready to depend on a pill to improve my health. Relying on a healthy diet and exercise to improve your life to make you healthier has decades of evidence underneath its belt.\u00a0 Try to look past the hype of this supplement because it sounds (at the moment) just too good to be true.\u00a0 To the best of my knowledge there are no long-term studies of this supplement in humans and until there is we will have no proof of knowing whether or not this pill is truly valid and what affects it has on your body over the years.<\/p>\n

Before I began taking this product I would research it more and speak to both your doctor and pharmacist.
