Just a cautionary note: resveratrol is very poorly absorbed, so supplements do not get the blood levels up very much, and neither does red wine. The pharmaceutical industry has been working on molecular forms which are more readily absorbable.

So, does this mean we have to drink a whole lot of it to absorb the good stuff?

Sheeesh...poor cold water on good news (which we get little enough of these days as it is).
Just go with it, man...after a bit you won't even care about absorption. ;-)

Red wine is more like ‘headache in a bottle’ for me. Migraine city.

So I guess when I tell people that I’m spending all weekend at the gym I won’t REALLY be lieing.

If the wine does not deliver enough resveratrol to increase blood levels, then what is the explanation for the apparent positive clinical effects red wine has in humans?

BTW, here's an article about Glenmorangie's new offering. It's a single malt that was made in 1981 and aged for almost 29 years. It's called 'Pride' and it costs $3,600 a bottle. Only 1,000 bottles produced. Crystal bottle, wooden case, etc...

In complete seriousness I would suggest they’re looking at this in exactly the wrong way. Exercise is red wine without the bottle - same conclusion just turned around.

may prevent the negative effects that spaceflight Okay, that's what I've been looking for to get rid of those post-spaceflight blahs.
I'm telling you, that 52-mile commute to Parsippany in the old days is nothing compared to the 26,200 miles these days . . .

"Resveratrol may not be a substitute for exercise, but it could slow deterioration until someone can get moving again." Oh thank you so much ... I can always use another reason to open a nice bottle of Merlot to sip on for three or four days. At my age 'you have to take your medicine' is one of the best excuses around, even if I don't take any kind of prescription meds. [Now, which brand will I select for medicating tonight?]
