Well, the article suggests that resveratrol has been found to be beneficial in small amounts, and does not provide any evidence that it is harmful, except when “very high doses” are fed to mice—far higher than any products currently on the market. I would suspect ridiculously high. Anything can be bad for you if taken in hugely excessive amounts.

I’m not competent to give any medical advice, but using the supplement in moderation, if you don’t regularlty drink red wine, seems to make sense. I personally take one capsule a day, containing 37 mg of resveratrol plus grape seed and red wine extracts. Maybe it’s a mistake, but I think I’ll continue unless there is evidence to the contrary.

I get the stuff from VitaCost online, and it’s only $15 for 120 capsules, about a four months’ supply. I don’t mean to recommend this to anyone else. Everyone should do their own due diligence and/or consult their doctor.

Chances are that your nutrient absorption rate is max 15 to 20% taking between 45 minutes to a couple of hours and wasting 80% of your money.

If you take it in an Isotonix form your absorption rate is 90 to 95% within 10 to 15 minutes on an empty stomach!!!
