Resveratrol is a polyphenol — one of the stilbenes, a class of molecules a plant manufactures when it is under stress. It is present in grape skin and in certain berries, but the richest known botanical source is the root of Japanese knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum, and that is what Ecological Formulas uses here. Root rather than wine extract, because the root yields a more concentrated and more consistent compound.
In the body, resveratrol acts as an antioxidant, helping neutralize free radicals and supporting the cell's own defenses against oxidative stress. It is among the more closely studied plant compounds in nutritional science, with ongoing work into its role in supporting normal cardiovascular function and healthy cellular aging pathways.
Made the way Ecological Formulas has made things since 1981: hypoallergenic, no diluents, no binders, no preservatives. Tolerable by people who react to nearly everything else.
