Dear Reader,
They’re at it again.
Resveratrol in red wine, in addition to acting as a powerful antioxidant, has now been shown to affect genetic aging.
Big Pharma’s solution?
Make a synthetic drug instead.
A recent article in the New York Times reported that, “Sirtris, a startup founded…to develop drugs with the same effects as resveratrol, completed its sale to GlaxoSmithKline for $720 million.”
But why wait while the big drug companies try and create a synthetic drug to get the anti-aging benefits of resveratrol. You can get all the benefits right now easily, the natural and healthy way.
Usually the natural version is much safer and often has other underappreciated benefits. Let’s look at some interesting facts and benefits of resveratrol.
Resveratrol activates proteins in your body known as sirtuins.
When activated, sirtuins tell your body to stop everything it’s doing and focus on maintaining your body’s tissues. This in turn, protects against diseases and aging. The net effect significantly increases your life span.
In the past, the only proven way to activate sirtuins was to go on a low calorie diet, or on a fast. But resveratrol is the only known food substance that creates the same effect—without starving yourself.
In a Harvard Medical School study, resveratrol increased the survival rate of human cells after exposed to DNA-damaging radiation. It even extended the lifespan of roundworms, fruit flies, yeast and human cells by up to 70%.1
Research shows it can also protect you from embarrassing “senior moments” caused by Alzheimer’s. It protects the brain from free radicals believed to start the process of cognitive decline and keeps brain cells alive.2,
Here’s one more thing mainstream medicine still doesn’t know about resveratrol: It’s more potent when taken in combination with other antioxidants.
Resveratrol by itself is incredibly powerful, as it seeks out and destroys specific free radicals in your body. But because it’s specific in the free radicals it seeks out, others are left to wreak havoc on your body.
That’s why when you take it with other antioxidants like vitamin C, E, and alpha lineolic acid, it creates a synergistic effect that attacks every kind of free radical threat in your body…giving you a long, healthy, disease-free life.
For example, research shows adding vitamin C or E to resveratrol is more effective at protecting the brain from Alzheimer’s than any one of the antioxidants alone.3
Here’s how you can get this amazing “elixir”of life:
Red Wine: As always, drink in moderation. One to two glasses is all you need to get the anti-aging benefits of resveratrol. Wines from cold regions in Europe such as Burgundy, France have the highest amounts.
Red Grapes: About 1 cup of organically grown grapes should do the trick.
Supplements: Japanese knot wood is the source of resveratrol in supplements. Make sure it’s a standardized extract, meaning it’s high potency. I recommend you take 20mg /day.
I’ve developed a resveratrol supplement that includes the highest potency of resveratrol available. Just one capsule has the equivalent of 10 bottles of red wine. But to increase its anti-aging potency, I’ve added two more of the most powerful anti-oxidants available today.
The first, Green Tea extract, eradicates free radicals floating in your body, the primary culprits in aging. Plus it repairs damaged DNA, and is actually 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C and E!
In fact, it’s so powerful that just like resveratrol, drug companies have tried to mimic its incredible anti-aging properties and succeeded. The FDA recently approved a drug called Veregen™. It synthetically duplicates the health benefits of Green Tea extract.
The second anti-oxidant I’ve added is SOD. If there’s one anti-oxidant that is the “grand-daddy” of them all, it’s this one.
It’s so vital, production of SOD starts when you’re in the womb. In one study, genetically engineered mice, whose bodies couldn’t make their own SOD, died in just days from massive free radical damage.4
Together, resveratrol, green tea extract, and SOD form the power-trio behind my newest anti-aging formula, RES3.
