May improve blood sugar
Dr Mercola on the 16 September 2019 published this article “Resveratrol Improves Blood Sugar”. His story at a glance:
- Resveratrol is antiantioxidant that provides neuroprotection against many neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and stroke
- Resveratrol can increase cerebral blood flow, protecting against depression and brain inflammation, and may even improve learning, mood and memory
- A recent study indicates resveratrol's ability to improve blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Resveratrol decreased fasting blood sugar, increased high density lipoprotein and increased and improved insulin levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Resveratrol also treats diabetic side effects without dangerous prescription drugs
- Resveratrol has an important role in both preventing cancer and enhancing the effect of cancer drugs
Resveratrol may save the
life of Astronauts
NaturalNews dated 27 July 2019 published this article “The same scientific establishment that absurdly claims nutrition is useless now admits resveratrol may save the lives of astronauts”.
New research from NASA has found that resveratrol, one of the key medicinal ingredients in grapes and red wine, may be beneficial in helping astronauts on future long missions to Mars avoid developing serious health conditions like muscle atrophy.
Even though the scientific establishment often insists that food nutrients like resveratrol are functionally useless for people on Earth, NASA says they’re great for people up in space who need extra strength to survive long treks across the universe.
[Marilyn comment] NASA obviously doesn’t want earth bound people to remain healthy only those going to outer space!
Free Radicals
Dr Mercola dated 22 October 2018 published this article “Resveratrol Causes Rogue Cells to Self-Destruct.” Here is Dr Mercola’s first glance. Below is Dr Mercola speaking on a YouTube about free radical damage and using supplements containing resveratrol.
[Marilyn comment] The interesting thing that I have learned about this ingredient is that it only has a short life span in your body. So what is the solution? Taking smaller amounts more frequently may have an even better results.
- A Swiss study involving lab mice suggests resveratrol may be effective in treating lung cancer because it causes rogue cells to self-destruct — at least when administered nasally in high doses
- The researchers observed a 45 percent decrease in tumor load in mice treated with resveratrol, noting they developed fewer and smaller tumors than untreated mice
- Given its ability to neutralize free radicals, resveratrol is well-known for its antiaging, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties
- Although resveratrol is available from food sources such as blueberries, dark chocolate, grape skins and red wine, its low bioavailability makes taking a supplement a more effective option
- Pterostilbene, which has superior bioavailability and provides benefits similar to resveratrol, is another potent plant compound you may want to check out
Did you know that in France scientists have been researching for years to understand why the French could eat and drink rich foods, high in fat and many other things that we understood to be bad for our health? It was found that resveratrol (an ingredient found in grapes and grape seeds) was helping people to prevent disease and issues with their health.
Many of you may already be taking resveratrol supplements but I wonder if you know that not all are created equally. Did you know that when it is exposed to air that it is highly oxidized? Some nutritional companies just add it to their product just to be able to say it is on the label, but are they concerned whether this molecule is actually working for you?

Colon cancer and Resveratrol
NaturalHealth 365 dated 28 November 2017 published this article “Resveratrol and grape seed extract combination very effective at killing colon cancer cells, study reports.” An excerpt from the article:
“Evidence is now showing that grape seed extract offers hope for people suffering from colon cancer, and that the combination of grape seed extract and resveratrol together could be particularly potent in combating cancer cells.
When looking at grape seed extract, researchers divided 52 mice with colon cancer tumors into three groups. There was a control group as well as one that was fed grape seed extract, and another group that was fed sulindac, an anti-inflammatory drug shown to significantly reduced tumor numbers in humans.
The incidence of tumors was suppressed 50 percent in the mice consuming the grape seed extract. This was similar to the suppression rate in the group consuming sulindac.”
Found to kill cancer stem
cells
NaturalNews dated 28 June 2017 published this article “Resveratrol compound in grapes found to kill cancer stem cells”. Here is an excerpt from this article:
“Researchers from the Penn State Hershey Cancer Institute have found a potential cure for colon cancer. They discovered that the compounds found in grapes — resveratrol — could be effective in treating colon cancer, according to Jairam K.P. Vanamala, associate professor of food sciences at Penn State. “The combination of resveratrol and grape seed extract is very effective at killing colon cancer cells. And what we’re learning is that combination of these compounds is not toxic to healthy cells.”

Scientists and doctors rave about the anti-aging
abilities of resveratrol
Below are two YouTubes recently presented (2013) speaking about the scientific studies which are revealing the anti-aging properties of resveratrol.
You will notice that they are talking in terms of maybe five years before this will be available in “pill form” and that “pharmaceutical companies are looking into this”!
Most of you will be aware that when pharmaceutical companies become involved that they do not use “natural” ingredients but they try and find a synthetic form of the part of the ingredient that they believe is actually giving the result. Sometimes it is the actual synergistic effect of the whole ingredient and not isolated segments that give the result.
You may also be aware that when ingesting a liquid that it is more readily bio-available for the body to absorb.
However,
don’t forget to listen and learn about the exciting prospects of resveratrol as
shown in the following two YouTubes and then click the link

On 17 October 2011, NaturalNews brings information that “Researchers from the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Calabria in Italy publishing in The FASEB Journal report that resveratrol blocks the effect of estrogen and can help to prevent the malignant growth of breast cancer in women.”
It further says:
“numerous scientific studies in
recent years and has shown promise in lowering risks from cardiovascular
disease, cancer and dementia. Scientists also believe the protective nutrient
may extend healthy lifespan by directly influencing mortality genes known as
SIRT. Health-minded adults will want to include resveratrol from natural food
sources or supplementation to reap the numerous health benefits.”
Blocking Estrogen Growth Factor.
In the meantime I have been reading that not only has this ingredient been found to promote longevity and health in a variety of ways but evidence has been found to show that it prevents:
- heart disease
- help to keep weight under control
- normalizes cholesterol levels and may prevent diabetes
- research now showing that it could prevent some of the top causes of blindness
Take the time to read how Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis has documented that it stops out-of-control blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) in the eye.
On 24 September 2012 we learn from NaturalNews that Jane Cavanaugh, an assistant professor of pharmacology at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and her colleague ascertained that laboratory mice given resveratrol as part of their normal diet:
- maintained better movement coordination as they aged
- less degradation in their nerve tissues
- less neural cell death
- 4 weeks into the study mice who stumbled across a balance beam were experiencing dramatic improvements.
