Resveratrol
(6)Resveratrol Benefits
Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol, an antioxidant compound highly concentrated in red grapes – and therefore wine – as well as other plants such as Japanese knotweed. It is also found in blueberries and bilberries, but in much lower concentrations. In its natural trans-resveratrol form (the form found in grapes and knotweed) resveratrol helps protect the body from free radicals that cause oxidative damage and inflammation.
