Reversatrol supplements

Paul Rodgers asked:


Resveratrol supplements are the latest antiaging fad. Aging is breakdown, but broken things can be fixed. Aging is characterized by a progressive deterioration of physiological functions and metabolic processes. The healthy reputation of dietary antioxidants just got more support, with one type turning in a spectacular anti-aging performance.

Research studies continue to find more interesting benefits from this red wine compound, including potential anti-cancer and anti-aging activity. As to its antiaging potential, resveratrol activates a cell’s survival defense enzyme, which prolongs the time cells have to repair their broken DNA.

Newspapers, magazines and TV over the last few years have been filled with news of the anti-aging, antioxidant and seemingly miraculous properties of red wine. Wine lovers are probably already aware that red wine contains a powerful antioxidant: resveratrol.

Resveratrol appears to work as a powerful antioxidant helping quench free radical damage in the body, but also has a unique mechanism of action that may prove to have significant life extension properties. Antioxidant resveratrol action is very important for the heart health because it can reduce the blood pressure by opening the arteries hence increasing the blood flow through them.

Antioxidants slow down cell damage and the progression of degenerative diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and improve organ, eye, skin, teeth and gum health.

The primary health component of wine that researchers have uncovered is called resveratrol. Resveratrol is also found in a number of other foods and berries, such a peanuts and blueberries but grapes, particularly winemaking grapes such as Muscadine, are the clear winner.

Resveratrol maintains cell viability and exerts an anti-oxidative action by enhancing the intracellular free-radical scavenger glutathione. Resveratrol is an active polyphenol found in red wine that has anti cancer effects. Resveratrol is known to fight cancer tumor growth. Resveratrol protects heart tissue from cancer chemotherapy drug. Resveratrol is known to be protective against oxidative cardiovascular disorders.

Resveratrol protects the circulation in the heart and other organs in several ways, including protection against ischemic-reperfusion injury, relaxation of blood vessels to improve circulation, protection and maintenance of intact endothelium, reduction of hardening of the arteries, inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, and suppression of platelet aggregation which improves blood flow and reduces blood clotting.

Resveratrol helps lower cholesterol, and is as much as 10 to 20 times more potent than vitamin E in protecting against LDL oxidation, a process that has been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol in wine is known to prevent blood clots and widen (dilate) blood vessels, sometimes producing Viagra-like effects. Resveratrol pills should ideally be consumed with meals, since this is when insulin and blood sugar levels rise and when oxidation is high.

Resvinatrol Complete contains the powerful red wine antioxidant, resveratrol, called « The Fountain of Youth » in a formula that includes several other important antioxidants. Resveratrol, just one of the powerful antioxidants in Resvinatrol Complete, is being heralded by scientists and researchers as an anti-aging miracle drug that can help ward off the effects of age-related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, strokes, obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Resvinatrol Complete provides today’s health-conscious consumers with an exciting combination of powerful antioxidants found in red wine, chocolate, pomegranates, red raspberries, and soy. Resvinatrol Complete’s combination of antioxidants is unmatched by any other antioxidant product on the market today.

What I want to talk about is anti-aging. There is a reason anti-aging and weight loss are billion dollar industries. I know I want to stay young inside and out. I am terrified of aging to tell you the truth. Because of this I stay on top of the latest research available. I also stay on top of the best products available on the market that address anti-aging and weightloss issues. I have found some substantial research on the following product and am currently using it myself. I am very pleased.

It is clearly out that resveratrol is the new miracle ingredient for anti-aging, anti-cancer, and prevention of Obesity. Why? Well Resveratrol comes from the skin of grapes. It is found in red wine but in red wine very little is prevelent. Not near enough to produce major results. But in large quantities resveratrol has been linked to weight loss, health, and anti-aging. This according to Harvard research. Follow this link to read the research results for yourself. Official Harvard Study Results on Resveratrol and Anti-aging.

In fact, Dr.Sinclair has found resveratrol to be the only known natural ingredient to effect the gene related to aging. No other ingredient before has been able to show changes in the aging gene.

Now, Barbara Walters, Oprah, Dr.Oz and more are talking about this wonder ingredient found in the skin of grapes. But there is more, anti-oxidents from all super foods are crucial to health and wellness, anti-aging, and the fighting of disease. NFI consumer products has been ahead of its time on the research of resveratrol and other anti-oxidents. They have just released a product called Vital Fruits which contains the miracle ingredient in a liquid form. Along with 20 other anti-oxidents found in the worlds greatest super fruits.

What I like about this product is its tested ORAC value in 4000. There is no product on the market that even comes close to matching that. ORAC is an actual measurment used to determine how much of the ingredient is actually contained in the product.

One bottle of this stuff lasts a month. I take a one ounce shot in the morning and at night. You have to keep replentishing your bodies supply of anti-oxidents because the body can not produce them itself. You can not buy Vital Fruits in stores. This product is starting to emerge as a weight loss leader as well. So how can you live without an anti-aging, weight loss, oxident fighting supplament? You can, but not near as well as someone on this daily regiment. Those that are on it are experiencing more energy and more stabilized moods. This is what it does for me so I am sure it can do the same for you. I am young now but would like to stay that way as long as possible. Anything I can do to stall my bodies aging process I will try!

One 1 Ounce Shot of Vital Fruits™ Offers, Multiple sources of antioxidants that remove free radicals in your body. The most powerful ORAC blend available. Cardiovascular support. Immune system boosting Anti-aging properties.

What exactly is “Resveratrol”. According the the defenition on Wikepedia “Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Resveratrol has also been produced by chemical synthesis[1] and is sold as a nutritional supplement derived primarily from Japanese knotweed. Resveratrol has been shown at times to extend the life span of yeast and mice.[2] In mouse and rat experiments, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, blood-sugar-lowering, chelating and other beneficial cardiovascular effects of resveratrol have been reported. Most of these results have yet to be replicated in humans. In the only positive human trial, extremely high doses (3–5 g) of resveratrol in a special proprietary formulation have been necessary to significantly lower blood sugar.[3] Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine, but apparently not in sufficient amounts to explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.”



Vital Fruits™ is the first super antioxidant blend of its kind ,Vital Fruits™ is the first liquid available that will combine the extracts of over 20 antioxidant rich extracts from berries and fruit from around the world,Vital Fruits™ launches 1 November 2008 ,Vital Fruits™ is to be available through the Emugenix© network. Vital Fruits™ main benefit to consumers is the antioxidant capacity to neutralize free radicals. Resveratrol found in grapes and peanuts is thought to be the explanation of the French Paradox which is French people have lower incidences of heart disease despite consuming a diet rich in saturated fats. Vital Fruits™ is formulated with 100 mg of resveratrol in every one ounce shot. Vitamin C from Indian Gooseberry, bilberry, Acai, Mangosteen, Goji Berry, Barbados Cherry, Tart Cherry, chokeberry, and strawberry extract. Quercetin from red grapes. Proanthocyanidins from Chokeberry and Acai. Ellagic acid from red raspberries. Zeaxanthin from Wolfberries (Goji) which is absorbed by the retina. Epicatechin from tart cherry, Barbados cherry, bilberry, and blueberry extracts.



Vital Fruits™ is the antioxidant booster to help reach optimal daily ORAC values. Oxygen Radical Absorbing Capacity or ORAC is a scientific measure of the antioxidant capacity of foods.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this product for more energy? I was just going to order the free trial bottle, and thought I should ask you all first. What is your opinion?

When purchasing any weight loss product, it is important to do your research. Many people are exchanging their opinions about Relacore on DietBlogTalk.com

Overview



Stress is good for the body in a moderate amount. It’s natural and helps humans cope physically with potentially dangerous situations. But too much stress can do great harm. And when you’re dieting – though you may be losing weight – you may be doing more harm than good by putting your body through unnatural amounts of stress. Such strenuous dieting can actually lead to weight gain in the long run, which is obviously counteractive.

Relacore® wants to help dieters with this vicious cycle. Supposedly, the supplement will reduce stress and contribute to the reduction of fat – especially in the belly, where we all want to lose it most.

Ingredients at a Glance

For some inexplicable reason, Relacore’s® website doesn’t go to the trouble of divulging the product’s ingredients. In our view, this is a serious oversight on the manufacturer’s part. Other sites have attributed the following ingredients to Relacore®: Magnolia Bark, Passion Flower, Scutellaria, Niacinamide, Panax Ginseng, Pinellia, Pioria, Jujoba, Perillia, and Phosphotidylserine.

Ingredients in Focus

The following are of particular note:

Magnolia Bark Extract has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for some time. The extract is often used as an anti-stress and anti-anxiety treatment, but lately it has gained popularity through the possibility of a connection between these functions and the reduction of Cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. As Cortisol has been associated with obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, memory problems, and suppressed immunity, Magnolia Bark Extract has become more useful.

Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin in the vitamin B group. It may function as an anti-inflammatory.

Panax Ginseng is a plant associated with eastern Asia, and it has been used traditionally as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, and stimulant. These traditional uses remain controversial in light of more recent medical technologies. However, Ginseng is being tested and is thought to possibly have anticarcinogenic and antioxidant properties.

Positives

•    May reduce stress.

Negatives

•    Product website is unhelpful.

•    Does not stand out among other anti-stress diet pills.

Final Thoughts

Relacore® can claim all day long to be the number one anti-stress belly fat reducer. But in the end, there are too many other supplements just like it. We recommend eating well, exercising regularly, and taking a fat burner that will help to burn away excess belly fat. also look for a weight loss supplement that will aid in controling the appetite. Stress reduction is, of course, desirable, but it may be up to you, and not a bottle of pills.

Darrell Miller asked:


For centuries in China, Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia, green tea has been a popular drink. In the past few years green tea has become popular in the United States and continues to grow around the world. Part of this ever growing popularity is because of the scientific data supporting the health benefits of green tea.

Many Americans ask the question, what makes green tea better than black tea; they both come from the same plant? Green tea leaves are harvested fresh and steamed. Black tea is harvested in the same way but the leaves are left to age and oxidize, this oxidation creates chemical compounds that are good for cholesterol among other health benefits, but does not exhibit the cancer fighting benefits of green tea.

Green tea unlike black tea is high in polyphenols, which have powerful cancer fighting antioxidant properties. These beneficial compounds will vary from season to season along with the climate the plant is located in so not all green tea supplements are the same. Also, harvesting processes will determine how much healing polyphenols are left in the herb at time of encapsulation. Many studies have come out on the benefits of green tea and a few on black teas, with all this research, scientists still believe green tea is better than black tea as an antioxidant and cancer prevention herb.

With all the research pointing to the positive benefits of green tea, more than 4 times the amount of black tea is consumed in the United States and around the world as apposed to green tea. With in the next few years green tea is expected to grow in popularity by leaps and bounds. Many gourmet coffee shops have added green tea to their menu, along with grocery stores. At gas stations, bottled green tea can be purchased as well in the United States.

Ninety percent of all the research done on green tea has been done on its ability to fight cancer. Green tea has a greater Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) then both vitamin C and vitamin E, this means green tea can fight free radical damage better than either vitamin. Green tea not only has a great ORAC value, it also helps improve the body’s natural antioxidant activity as well. Studies have shown that green tea inhibits the creation of nitrosamines and carcinogens that cause cancer in the body, as well as helps detoxify other cancer causing agents. Green tea has shown to be effective against breast, colon, lung, pancreas, stomach, and small intestine cancers.

Another recent study suggested that green tea can protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Green tea, when ingested or rubbed on the skin externally in both tea or extract form, showed skin protection from the sun. Green tea is good for sensitive skin and can help sooth irritations offering relief to those individuals with sensitive skin. Many cosmetic companies are adding green tea as their main ingredient to help reduce fine lines. Green tea can safely be used with facial steaming and herbal baths to help sooth the skin.

Green tea does contain small amounts of caffeine, but the caffeine does not exhibit the same stimulating effects as other caffeinated beverages. To date, there have not been any significant side effects reported so daily consumption is safe for most individuals. Some individuals need to stay away from all caffeinated products; supplement manufactures now offer caffeine free green tea as well.

For centuries third world countries have been benefiting from the consumption of green tea, don’t you think its time we start to as well? Green tea in regular or decaf can be found at your local or internet health food store.

Michael Jenkins asked:


What is Resveratrol and where does Resveratrol come from?

Resveratrol is a phytoalexin produced naturally by plants as an antibiotic substance and is used to fight the likes of fungi and bacteria on its health. Reseveratrol is found in Japanese knotweed which is commonly grown in China but other plants which produce Reveratol are peanuts, cranberries and in the skin of grapes.

What does Resveratrol do?

Resveratrol is seen to have the potential to deal with a wide range of disease associated with ageing like cardiovascular function, bone density, memory loss, lower LDL (bad cholesterol), fight heart disease, prostate cancer, and diabetes and has many more possibilities.

What is the history behind Resveratrol?

Resveratrol first came to light after it was reported researchers had compiled theories called the “French Paradox”  which looked at those living in France were able to consume a high fat and high calorie diet and yet still live longer that the average human. A theory was formed that the high consumption of red wine in the typical French diet could be the reason. It was thought the grape skins containing the resveratrol were found in the wine and this could be accounting for this yet still to the present date there is no hard evidence to support this theory.

The science behind Resveratrol

Resveratrol has shown in studies that it activates the SIRT1 enzyme which helps tell a cell it should fight, survive and repair itself. Another amazing find shows it also promotes the mitochondrial function in a cell. This is a huge factor as this helps not only the cell but our bodies in burning fat and in the recovery process, increases endurance and can mimic the effects of a calorie restricted diet which in turn means weight loss.

How do you take Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is also manufactured as a diet supplement in a tablet, liquid form and also a patch much like a nicotine patch. Commonly known as the “red wine pill” Resveratrol is on the market in many different varieties.

Rachel Bz. asked:


All of a sudden, soy products cause cancer. They’re not safe unless they’re super-processed, and even then, they can mess up your hormones. What?? I thought people in other countries had been eating soy products for thousands of years?!?!

More anti-health propaganda? Who to trust? Could it really be that terrible for you? Can tofu sushi really kill you? Can a glass of soymilk really cause breast cancer?

Carl Cruz asked:


Do you remember Beta Carotene? In the 1980’s, no one but doctors and nutritionists had ever heard that beta carotene even existed, until one day when some technician found that the high BC content in carrots does a lot of good for heart patients.

So in 1992 a major study (18,000 people) was done on the Antioxidant properties of beta carotene by giving it in pill form to cancer patients. It failed miserably.

Researchers are still scratching their heads over why it was such an utter failure, even though beta carotene is a form of Antioxidant.

Vitamin E has a similar story. It too is an Antioxidant; in fact it is the one that the ORAC scale is based upon. Unlike the solid beta carotene pill incident, Vitamin E is in liquid form, so it’s getting fully digested for sure, yet its effects as an antioxidant are pretty nominal.

Aside: It’s a pretty shocking story too… Two large studies involving more than 127,000 people in total were run in 1990 after Vitamin E was found to help Heart patients. Because of this, by the year 2000 an estimated 23 million US citizens were taking Vitamin E daily… But in recent years 7 more such studies have been found to show little or no improvement at all!

Anyway, let me lay down one other scenario, a more modern one. You’ve probably heard the French paradox, but if not, here’s a recap:

French people’s diet is the only one higher in saturated fats and cholesterol than the diet of Americans. It’s been well proven. However, with that diet, you might expect for the French to have a higher incident rate of Heart Disease than Americans, but they clearly do not.

Researchers believe that this paradox is caused by the very high amounts of Anthocyanins in red wine, which the French consume way more than the average amount of daily. Anthocyanins, of course, are one of the most potent Antioxidants.

So, what do you think will happen if they pack a pill full of Anthocyanins?

I’d be willing to bet the exact same thing would happen that happened with beta carotene and vitamin E… Nada.

These examples are hard evidence that Antioxidants must come in natural form in order to be effective free-radical scavengers. It makes perfect sense to me… What is free-radical scavenging but something acting alive and moving around? If you stop that thing cold in its tracks, like say, compressing it into a cold, lifeless pill, then how is that going to preserve the scavenging property?

So, my overall point here today is to get your Antioxidants from a fibrous form, such as berries or berry pulp. Don’t let it get encapsulated or worse yet, made into a solid pill.

Eating the berries off the tree is the best way to get those free scavengers rampaging of course, but since everyone outside of Amazonia doesn’t have that option, your next best bet is to find it processed with consideration for preserving the fiber. Frozen pulp may be the best way to do that, but it really depends on the processing technique.

As for freeze dried Acai, I don’t claim to have all the answers. It seems like that would stop the scavenging dead in its tracks, but then again, freeze-dried Acai has the highest ORAC rating… And specifically with MonaVie, their patented process also includes re-mixing their freeze-dried Acai with fresh pulp… So perhaps that gets both the high ORAC rating and the still-moving scavengers both inside at once. And who knows? Maybe the ones still moving can reanimate the frozen ones!
