Trying to Find a Resveratrol From Grape Supplement?

Shopping for a resveratrol from grape supplement can be frustrating.  There are lots of different supplements on the market, but not many good ones.  Here’s a short review of some of the products that are available.

The Liquids   

There are several liquid brands.  Typically, they are marketed as “red wine alternatives” or “resveratrol for the non-drinker”.  Research has shown that the levels of trans-resveratrol in the bloodstream do not rise significantly when drinking red wine.  The same would be true with a liquid resveratrol from grape supplement. 

In fact, most researchers are now saying that the beneficial health effects of regular red wine consumption could not be due to the trans-resveratrol content, because the content is too low.  They believe, instead, that the beneficial effects are due to the combination of phytochemicals, as well as the alcohol, that is found in red wine.  Most healthcare professionals believe that moderate amounts of alcohol (1 or 2 drinks per day) are good for you, as long as you don’t have a drinking problem or other health problems. 

The Powders

The reason that a liquid resveratrol from grape supplement would not raise the levels found in the blood is because digestive processes (stomach acids, enzymatic activity, etc) breaks the compound down before it gets to the upper intestine, where it can pass through and enter the blood.  Powders would be broken down in the same manner and would not increase bloodstream levels.

The Pills

Researchers have tested uncoated tablets and found the same results.  There is limited bio-availability of this compound.  The same is true of other nutrients, such as SAM-e.  When they hit the stomach, acid breaks them down and they never make it to a point where they can be effectively released into the bloodstream.  Basically, they are worthless.

Now, if a pill has a good enteric coating, then it will pass through the stomach with the nutrients intact.  When the pill reaches the upper intestine, it disintegrates, if the appropriate enzymes are included in the tablet.  The nutrients are released, they pass through the walls or the upper intestine and the body may begin to use them as needed.

If a resveratrol from grape supplement does not have an enteric coating and include the appropriate enzymes, it is worthless.

Your Best Choice

Your best choice for supplementation is one that includes essential vitamins and minerals, in the most natural form.  The best value for the money is a product that contains a wide array of amino acids and antioxidants, packaged in an enteric coating to protect the nutrients from stomach acid. 

You can reduce your frustration by researching effective supplements online, rather than trying to stand in a store and read all of those labels.  Most supplements do not work as they should, because the manufacturers do not use the best form of the nutrient or the method of delivery is ineffective.  You can shop with confidence for a resveratrol from grape supplement, as long as you know what to look for.  Hopefully, you now have the info that you need.

Resveratrol Antioxidants and Weight Loss: A Good Pairing?

resveratrol
Guest Author: Robert Steele


The golden rule in weight loss is pretty simple: take in fewer calories than you expend in exercise.  However, as any dieter will tell you, it’s far from easy. Americans spend billions of dollars a year on weight loss supplements, exercise programs and other diet aids-and still we can’t seem to win the battle of the bulge-even when we get desperate enough to try risky surgery or fad diets.

Recently a new product has come to light that may help people trying to lose weight stay on the healthy end of the spectrum:  Resveratrol Select, which is unlike many diet supplements in that it uses a combination of natural and herbal ingredients designed to help the body stay healthy while losing weight.How? By mimicking certain aspects of the Mediterranean diet.Studies have shown that part of America’s war with weight lies in the uniquely modern American combination of stressful lifestyle and fast-food consumption, and that the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle seem to be more conducive to healthier weight levels and longevity.

In fact, much as been made on the news in recent months of the purported “French Paradox,” (how the French eat a high-fat diet, enjoy rich desserts, drink wine and still have better cardiovascular health than the rest of us). One of the biggest differences between the American and French diet seems to be the wine consumption, and red wine (a staple on most Mediterranean tables) contains one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, resveratrol, which is a key ingredient in Resveratrol Select.In addition to wine, resveratrol is also found in grape skins, blueberries, cranberries and other plants, and recent animal and in vitro studies indicate that it can have a positive effect on helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, supporting insulin health and optimizing metabolic and immune pathways that protect cells and improve mitochondrial function.

One capsule of Resveratrol Select includes as much resveratrol as 200 glasses of wine-without the added calories that alcohol can add to the waistline.  But consuming resveratrol alone isn’t enough to help with weight loss-so the manufacturers of Resveratrol Select also added a different type of antioxidant, Green Tea Extract (EGCG), which could make a big difference. Over time, green tea consumption helps increase metabolism, burn fat and reduce fat storage due to its caffeine and L-theanin content, which can be pivotal in helping to maintain energy for exercise.

Resveratrol Select combines these two powerful antioxidants with yet another energy boosting ingredient, Chromium, a niacin-based mineral that plays an important role in how the body uses insulin to burn sugars, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy.

Although relatively new to the market, Resveratrol Select seems to be making a big splash, and many people are taking advantage of the free trial offer to see how well the product works for them. The trial offer also includes two bonus tools to help with weight loss: an e-book with over 70 weight loss tips, and a weight loss visualization audio.  Of course, consuming fewer calories while burning more is the most efficient form of weight loss, and it’s always a good idea to inform your doctor before taking a weight loss supplement, but this new combination herbal supplement is worth a look for those concerned about maintaining good health while losing weight.
