Resveratrol FAQ

Q: What is a Resveratrol supplement, and what can it do for you?

An effective Resveratrol supplement should contain 98% Trans-Resveratrol, derived from the rhizome root of Japanese Knotweed. Trans-Resveratrol is the active compound of Resveratrol (any other Resveratrol supplements that don't specify Trans-Resveratrol usually contain a mix of 50% Trans-Resveratrol and 50% Cis-Resveratrol, which would make it half as effective). Together with the 98% Trans-Resveratrol, it should include an added boost of polyphenols and flavonoids, such as those found in Red Wine extract and Grape Seed extract, which provide an effective dose of powerful antioxidants.

Trans-Resveratrol has shown to be effective not only as an antioxidant, but also as an anti-inflammatory. It helps protect the neurological system and cardiological system. It supports healthy blood sugar levels as well as boosts the immune system by restoring damage caused by oxidative stress. Of course, it's most popularly known for providing anti-aging benefits and slowing down cellular aging. Trans-Resveratrol revitalizes cells by making them behave like young, healthy cells and helps boost their resilience.

Q: Do all Resveratrol supplements work the same?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride the latest health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap additives and synthetic ingredients that do not have the optimal desired effect as active ingredients. Most do not include 1000 mg of 98% Trans-Resveratrol in a daily serving. Most do not contain any polyphenol-rich ingredients to help contribute towards antioxidant levels, like Red Wine and Grape Seed extract, and most do not have BioPerine^® which is key for speeding up the results by enhancing absorption.

Q: What should I look for?

• It must contain a minimum of 1000 mg Trans-Resveratrol in a daily serving.
• It should contain Trans-Resveratrol (as opposed to the ineffective less concentrated form of Resveratrol).
• It should be formulated with 98% purity level for optimal results.
• It should be derived from Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum).
• It should preferably contain a polyphenol and flavonoid-rich blend of Red Wine and Grape Seed extract for added antioxidant benefits.
• It should contain BioPerine^® or a similar ingredient to aid absorption and increase faster results.
• It must have no fillers, binders or any other artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure with no unnecessary ingredients that may reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any negative interactions between Resveratrol and other medications or conditions. However, we still recommend consulting with a healthcare professional if you have a pre-existing medical condition or take any medications on a regular basis. Also, pregnant or nursing women are advised not to take any supplements without a doctor’s approval.

Q: How do I take Resveratrol capsules?

You should take two capsules per day - preferably one in the morning and one in the afternoon. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the daily dosage, since this can pose health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported experiencing positive changes in as little as one week. For others, it took a few weeks. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some felt unbelievable changes right away, while others took a little longer. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t get the results they want within a certain time frame like Research Verified Resveratrol that offers a 365-day money back guarantee if you are not happy with the results you experience.

Q: How much do Resveratrol supplements cost?

The cost of Resveratrol supplements varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the health trend. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too expensive. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
