Re: Question about resveratrol...

[Guest guest]

I have a question about the Resveratrol...For humans

How many mg of resveratrol constitutes a low dose???

and...

How many mg of resveratrol constitutes a high dose???

Right now I'm taking 20mg of resveratrol Daily...

Could I take more?? Is that considered a low dose???

Thanks so much for your help...

There may be life extending benefits to drinking red wine. Rodneyhas pointed out:"Researchers found fish fed the lower dose of resveratrol lived anaverage of 33% longer than fish fed their normal diets, while thosefed the higher dose of the red wine ingredient lived more than 50%longer."Read message 22577 to see the reference.-Diane>> In studies of alcohol consumption, low levels have been shown to> provide some cardio benefit for those over 50 (if I recall correctly).> But of course, most test subjects have BMIs that are too high.

Seeing resveratrol and a " can't-hurt, certainly might help a lot " element,

I've been taking my daily Longevinex capsule for quite some time with a

daily large glass of red wine.

Hi folks:

Yes. Something in wine is beneficial, and it almost certainly is not

the water or the alcohol, which constitute more than 98% of it. And

probably not the organic acids either, which are by far the next most

prolific ingredients.

Also, whatever it is, it is beneficial in minute quantities,

apparently. But we have no really good information, yet, about the

effects of larger amounts. Or even, for certain, that it is

resveratrol.

IMO resveratrol very probably is a significant factor. But there are

certainly hundreds, perhaps thousands, of chemicals in wine. It will

be good when they finally find out what they all are, which have

beneficial effects on primates, and in what quantities. That will not

be known for quite some time. But in the meantime, ................

slurp : ^ )))
