Present in the grapes used to make rose and red wines, resveratrol has recently gained a lot of notice from wine connoisseurs and researchers alike in grapes used to make rose and red wines. Perhaps you've heard of the perceived benefits of resveratrol on human health and wondered can this possibly be true. Many people have dismissed it, outright suggesting that it sounds far too good to be true, but there do appear to be some health benefits of resveratrol worth noting.


1. In A Grapeskin, What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a polyphenic bioflavonoid antioxidant. It is also classified as a phytoestrogen because it possesses a unique ability to interact with estrogen sensors positively. Think of it as a positive poison certain plants use to protect themselves from their environment. Effectively, resveratrol can keep plants safe from injury, insects, and other natural predators. In the human body, studies have shown the compound has truly unique anti-aging properties noted to extend the lives of fish, mice, worms, and humans.
