How A Scientist By Accident Discovered Resveratrol - The Antiaging Skin Breakthrough of the Decade
Resveratrol, the protein molecule was discovered by a scientist from Harvard University, Dr. David Sinclair. He was stunned when he found that this molecule from the red wine was actually the one responsible for making those wine consumers healthy.
molecule controls your aging process by resetting your body biological clock. It was found that resveratrol acts on the gene called NPT1 that controls the aging process. It seeks out that gene and turns it on and thus slowing down aging. When this gene was activated in mice it was found they could live 30% longer and had no heart disease and cancer whatsoever.
However, you should not simply drink the red wine yet. According to Dr. David Sinclair you probably need to drink about 1000 glasses of red wine a day in order to have that same beneficial effect! So the best way is not to drink wine at all, instead take the resveratrol that are extracted from red grapes by pharmaceutical companies. It simply means head to the local pharmacy and get your supply.
Other than slowing down aging, many researches found that resveratrol could also be used to control obesity, high blood pressure and destroy cancer.
When you buy resveratrol supplements make sure that its percent absorption is very high. As a guide please refer to the following absorption table.
Method of Delivery (% absorption)
1. Tablet (10%)
2. Gel (18%)
3. Transdermal Patch (55%)
4. Intra-Muscular Injection (90%)
5. Intra-Oral Spray (98%)
Therefore, the best way of taking resveratrol is via oral spray. That is you simply spray directly into your mouth. If you are tempted to go by the tablet or gel because they are cheap than about 90% of your money will go into the drain. Taking resveratrol in this form is not worth since about 10% is absorbed by your body. This is due to the fact that resveratrol molecule is too be to be absorbed by our intestine and besides it is susceptible to digestion by the enzymes and thus render it useless.
If you are not careful though, you could get ripped off by buying inexpensive low absorbing resveratrol pills and gels that finally end up in the drain.
Beside resveratrol there are other anti-aging substances and antioxidants that are also beneficial to our health such as noni, acai, goji, amalaki, aloe vera, black currant, pomegranate, mangosteen, maqui, grape seed extract and pine bark extract. So I would like to recommend that when you purchase resveratrol from the pharmacy make sure it has a combination with any of the above anti-aging substances and antioxidants. This will enhance the effect of resveratrol.
