Resveratrol
Also known as: trans-resveratrol, Japanese knotweed, grape polyphenol
Resveratrol is a polyphenol from grape skins, peanuts and Japanese knotweed that became famous through animal experiments on ageing. In humans it is absorbed quickly but also broken down quickly, and study results are inconsistent.
What it is used for
- Slower ageing – weak evidence, data mainly from animals
- Modest improvement in metabolic markers and blood pressure – weak evidence
- Antioxidant protection – weak evidence
Forms and how they differ
trans-resveratrol
the biologically active form, check its content on the label
Japanese knotweed extract
the most common natural source, trans-resveratrol content varies
micronised / liposomal
claimed better absorption, little data
Pairs well with
A polyphenol-rich diet, exercise.
Do not combine / separate
Be careful with anticoagulants and antiplatelet medicines and with medicines broken down by liver CYP enzymes.
Watch out for
Not suitable in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. With hormone-sensitive conditions, bleeding disorders, before surgery, with kidney or liver disease and when taking medicines, consult your doctor.
Safety
The EU permits trans-resveratrol in supplements up to 150 mg a day; do not exceed the label dose.
Practical tip
Store it away from light – trans-resveratrol turns into a less active form when exposed.
