Recent news reports on a new study on resveratrol, an active beneficial phytochemical found in red grape skins and red wine. Exposing fat cells to resveratrol results in less fat cells. Does this mean that resveratrol would be a good supplement to take if you are on a weight-loss program to reduce body fat?
Obtain the beneficial aspects of resveratrol, a natural component of red wine, without the side effects of alcohol and in a more potent supplement form to fully benefit your health.
We are already aware of the effects of resveratrol on cells which encourage an anti-aging effect in the body encouraging a longer life span. Resveratrol duplicates the same anti-aging results induced by a low-calorie diet yet without having to eat a low-calorie diet.
Researchers attribute this same mechanism to have an effect on fat cells and conducted a study to verify that. In a recent experiment, when fat cells were exposed to resveratrol there were less fat cells compared to fat cells that were not exposed to resveratrol. This finding suggests a possible further benefit for those who are overweight and have more fat cells. This report suggests that resveratrol may inhibit the number and size of fat cells. The findings from the new study were reported this summer at The Endocrine Society’s 90th annual meeting in San Francisco.
Since the amount of resveratrol naturally occurring in red grape skins and red wine is truly too small to have a beneficial effect of this nature, the best way to obtain resveratrol naturally would be to consume a resveratrol extract supplement like Res-Q Resveratrol, thereby delivering an amount much more potent and effective. You would have to drink 50-100 or more glasses of wine to get the amount of resveratrol found in Res-Q Resveratrol, red wine extract supplement.
