Resveratrol is suddenly in the spotlight after the CBS 60 minutes program was aired, telling us how this amazing nutrient could reverse the aging process among others. But what about the resveratrol side effects?

To date there is no evidence of any ill effects. As one source of it comes from red wine, perhaps you could classify getting intoxicated and sleepy, as possible resveratrol side effects!   

So you could say it depends on the sources. Red wine has resveratrol in it as grape skins are one of the largest providers. Similarly, blueberries and peanuts contain some as well, and we are well aware of all the nut allergies around.

The largest concentration can be found in the Japanese Knotweed plant, and this is where the high quality extracts come from.

Most experts today agree that resveratrol is most effective when it is taken as part of a multi health supplement, so you benefit from the interaction of it with all the other nutrients and vitamins. This is called synergy.

When selecting a product make sure it contains trans- resveratrol rather than the cis type as trans is the more active form, and will give you increased benefits, and it should contain at least 20mg. There are no resveratrol side effects when taken in a supplement as the dosage is controlled.

You would have to drink well over a liter of the right red wine a day to get a similar kind of benefit, which would not be healthy, so that\’s why the most popular form is a supplement.

It really is important that we are able to get the benefits of this nutrient without having to worry about any adverse side effects. It is also showing to be a major player in the fight against many types of cancer, diabetes and even protecting us against heart disease.

I hope that this article has put your mind at rest that there are no resveratrol side effects, only real health benefits to be had, and the potential when combined with other synergetic nutrients, to help you live a longer and healthier life.

It seems like every 50 years or so a new substance is discovered that rocks the scientific community and so has the link between resveratrol and cancer prevention been proven?

The short answer is an overwhelming yes! It is being hailed as one of the most important nutritional discoveries of modern time.

For many years people wondered at the \”French Paradox,\” whereby the French have a similar high fat diet to Americans and smoke heavily, but have a far lower instance of cancer and heart disease.

This was found to be down to the fact that they drink a lot of red wine, which contains resveratrol and cancer experts suddenly became very excited.

It is found in high quantities in the skins of grapes, hence in red wine, blueberries and one of the most potent sources is the Japanese Knotweed plant.

Resveratrol has been shown to stop cancer at all three stages, initiation, promotion and progression due to it being a very powerful antioxidant.

 Antioxidants are needed at very high levels for optimum health and disease prevention in humans. Antioxidants prevent and repair cell damage caused by free radicals in the body. Free radicals are atoms with unpaired electrons and cause havoc in the human body by damaging cells and causing disease and aging.

It seems that it has the ability to turn off and kill unhealthy cells which could turn cancerous, while leaving the healthy cells alone.

This is in contrast to chemotherapy treatment which kills the healthy cells as well, so resveratrol and cancer curing could have a very real future, and many millions of dollars are currently being invested to develop it, and even  a major pharmaceutical company is now investing heavily too.

It can stop or inhibit many types of cancer including lung, stomach, pancreatic and breast, as well as helping prevent many other diseases like heart disease, diabetes and reversing the aging process.

Experts agree the best way to take it is in supplement form, combined with other nutrients to increase its effects.

For example resveratrol is synergetic with turmeric and green tea extract and this enhances its cancer fighting abilities.

A good natural multi supplement can bring many other benefits if it has the right blend of synergistic ingredients. Resveratrol and cancer prevention is just one of many diseases that could be prevented.

We would all like to live a longer, healthier life and that seems like a possibility now with amazing nutrients like this one, and taken with other beneficial ones, we can really be responsible for our own futures, and avoid many of these increasingly common and deadly diseases.

Resveratrol and cancer prevention is just the beginning.
