Resveratrol Protocol
Utilizes resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes and berries, for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anti-aging benefits, through activation of sirtuin proteins.
Overview
Resveratrol is a natural plant compound that plants create to protect themselves when they're stressed, injured, or fighting off disease. It's been extensively studied for sirtuin activation - particularly SIRT1 - which are proteins that help control how your cells age, use energy, and respond to stress. Resveratrol first gained widespread attention from the French paradox phenomenon - the observation that people in France had lower rates of heart disease despite eating rich, high-fat foods, possibly due to their red wine consumption. Today it's one of the most studied natural compounds for healthy ageing. While resveratrol is found in grapes, berries, and red wine, getting therapeutic amounts from food alone would mean drinking impractical quantities of wine, so most people use concentrated supplements made from Japanese knotweed.
Key Benefits
Works as a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your cells from damage while boosting your body's own defence systems. Supports cardiovascular health by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and helping blood vessels work better. Demonstrates neuro-protective properties that may help maintain cognitive function and protect against age-related mental decline. Research suggests it may help clear harmful protein buildup in the brain while supporting cellular pathways linked to brain protection and longevity. Take trans-resveratrol with meals containing healthy fats to improve absorption, and be aware of potential interactions with blood-thinning medications.
