Resveratrol

Meaning

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol compound, classified as a phytoalexin, found in the skin of grapes, berries, and peanuts, known for its significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This molecule has garnered clinical interest for its potential to mimic the biological effects of caloric restriction, particularly through the activation of sirtuin proteins. In the context of hormonal health and longevity, Resveratrol is studied for its ability to modulate estrogen metabolism and potentially improve metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity. While promising, its clinical efficacy is often limited by its low bioavailability, necessitating specific formulations for therapeutic use.
