What I want to talk about is anti-aging. There is a reason anti-aging and weight loss are billion dollar industries. I know I want to stay young inside and out. I am terrified of aging to tell you the truth. Because of this I stay on top of the latest research available. I also stay on top of the best products available on the market that address anti-aging and weightloss issues. I have found some substantial research on the following product and am currently using it myself. I am very pleased.

It is clearly out that resveratrol is the new miracle ingredient for anti-aging, anti-cancer, and prevention of Obesity. Why? Well Resveratrol comes from the skin of grapes. It is found in red wine but in red wine very little is prevelent. Not near enough to produce major results. But in large quantities resveratrol has been linked to weight loss, health, and anti-aging. This according to Harvard research. Follow this link to read the research results for yourself. Official Harvard Study Results on Resveratrol and Anti-aging.

In fact, Dr.Sinclair has found resveratrol to be the only known natural ingredient to effect the gene related to aging. No other ingredient before has been able to show changes in the aging gene.

Now, Barbara Walters, Oprah, Dr.Oz and more are talking about this wonder ingredient found in the skin of grapes. But there is more, anti-oxidents from all super foods are crucial to health and wellness, anti-aging, and the fighting of disease. NFI consumer products has been ahead of its time on the research of resveratrol and other anti-oxidents. They have just released a product called Vital Fruits which contains the miracle ingredient in a liquid form. Along with 20 other anti-oxidents found in the worlds greatest super fruits.

What I like about this product is its tested ORAC value in 4000. There is no product on the market that even comes close to matching that. ORAC is an actual measurment used to determine how much of the ingredient is actually contained in the product.

One bottle of this stuff lasts a month. I take a one ounce shot in the morning and at night. You have to keep replentishing your bodies supply of anti-oxidents because the body can not produce them itself. You can not buy Vital Fruits in stores. This product is starting to emerge as a weight loss leader as well. So how can you live without an anti-aging, weight loss, oxident fighting supplament? You can, but not near as well as someone on this daily regiment. Those that are on it are experiencing more energy and more stabilized moods. This is what it does for me so I am sure it can do the same for you. I am young now but would like to stay that way as long as possible. Anything I can do to stall my bodies aging process I will try!

One 1 Ounce Shot of Vital Fruits™ Offers, Multiple sources of antioxidants that remove free radicals in your body. The most powerful ORAC blend available. Cardiovascular support. Immune system boosting Anti-aging properties.

What exactly is “Resveratrol”. According the the defenition on Wikepedia “Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Resveratrol has also been produced by chemical synthesis[1] and is sold as a nutritional supplement derived primarily from Japanese knotweed. Resveratrol has been shown at times to extend the life span of yeast and mice.[2] In mouse and rat experiments, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering, chelating and other beneficial cardiovascular effects of resveratrol have been reported. Most of these results have yet to be replicated in humans. In the only positive human trial, extremely high doses (3–5 g) of resveratrol in a special proprietary formulation have been necessary to significantly lower blood sugar.[3] Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine, but apparently not in sufficient amounts to explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.”

Why Resveratrol Powder Is Not The Most Effective Way To Take It

Guest Author: Ric Hawkins


I am sure that you have heard about all the amazing attributes that this wonder nutrient has, but I can tell you resveratrol powder is not a very effective way to take it.

Many companies out there are selling high concentration quantities of it, telling you more is better. Well quite the reverse is true as the health benefits of resveratrol powder are largely lost due to stomach acid.

I guess the thinking is if you take a big enough dose, enough will get through, but this is not the case. Also there can be another unpleasant side effect.

If taken in very high doses, it can act as a laxative, which if you have no problems to begin with in that area, can lead to dehydration and loss of nutrients from the body.

Experts agree that the best way to take it is in the form of a multi supplement where the reaction with the other nutrients increases its powers significantly, and this is synergy at work.

Now the most important factor is that the supplement has a natural enteric coating, that is, it allows it to pass through the stomach and into the upper intestine where it is released. You then get all the benefits, something which resveratrol powder cannot achieve.

This natural enteric coating is only used in the high quality supplements as it is more expensive to use, but the effects are far superior to your average one, where again much value is lost in the stomach acid.

It would be a real shame to lose the effects of resveratrol as it is emerging as one of the most promising anti cancer and anti aging substances ever found. So we must harness this power effectively.

So you don’t just want the benefits of resveratrol on its own and you will see vastly improved results if taken in a product that contains many ingredients that work synergistically together.

Make no mistake about it, resveratrol powder is not the way to go, so see through the companies hype and make sure you are getting the real benefits to be had from this amazing nutrient.
