Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a member of a group of plant compounds called polyphenols. These compounds are thought to have antioxidant properties, protecting the body against the kind of damage linked to increased risk for conditions such as cancer and Heart Disease.

Benefits of Resveratrol

• Anti aging and disease-combating benefits. 
• Heart disease. Resveratrol helps reduce inflammation, prevents the oxidation of LDL bad cholesterol and makes it more difficult for platelets to stick together and form the clots that can lead to a heart attack.
• Cancer. Resveratrol is thought to limit the spread of cancer cells and trigger the process of cancer cell death (apoptosis).
• Alzheimer's  disease. Resveratrol may protect nerve cells from damage and the buildup of plaque that can lead to Alzheimer's.
• Diabetes. Resveratrol helps prevent insulin resistance, a condition in which the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. Insulin resistance is a precursor to diabetes.
