Resveratrol good for short-lived fish

[Guest guest]

I'm sure this has been discussed in the past- but resveratrol is one

supplement that I've been taking.

The data for this seem to be just so good. Here's another paper that

came out recently:

Resveratrol is an organic compound naturally present in grapes--and

particularly enriched in red wine--and was previously shown to prolong

lifespan in non-vertebrate model organisms such as yeast, the worm C.

elegans, and the fruit fly Drosophila. However, until now, life-long

pharmacological trials were performed in the worm or fly model

organisms because of their very small size, very short natural

lifespan, and affordable cultivation costs. Laboratory mice, on the

other hand, live more than two years and are relatively expensive to

maintain, making large-scale, life-long pharmacological trials in mice

unaffordable.
