What is Resveratrol?

Ever wonder why the French live healthier lives despite having a diet high in saturated fats?

That’s the French paradox and it’s been the topic of the most reputable research labs. Interestingly enough, drinking red wine may play a key part in the answer. Recent studies demonstrate that caloric restriction stimulates a gene in our bodies which reduces the effects of aging. Among thousands of compounds tested, resveratrol demonstrated the unique ability to mimic the same benefits.

Each serving of Jusuru contains the same amount of RESVERATROL as four bottles of red wine.

FAQ - Resveratrol

What is resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a plant-dervied compound called phytoalexin (phyto- meaning ‘plant’, -alexin meaning ‘ward off’ or ‘to protect’), which is a chemical substance produced by plants as a defense against infection by pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi. As found in the skin of red grapes and a constituent of red wine, resveratrol is implicated in ‘the French paradox’, the low incidence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases in the French people despite their high-calorie diets.

Why is red wine thought to be healthier than white?

Red wine contains much higher concentration of resveratrol than white wine. In producing red wine, the skins and seeds are used, while the juice is the main material used to produce white wine.

How much resveratrol is in Jusuru Life Blend™?

One serving size (2 oz) contains the same amount of resveratrol as in four full bottles of red wine.

What are the benefits of taking a resveratrol supplement?

Resveratrol is one of the most recognized and widely studied compounds due to its potential roles in promoting longevity and in chemoprevention. Studies revealed a number of health-promoting properties such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and beneficial cardiovascular effects.

Resveratrol demonstrated a striking overlap in terms of gene expression with calorie restriction in the heart, muscle, and brain. Both dietary interventions inhibited the expression of similar profile of genes associated with heart and skeletal muscle aging. Furthermore, resveratrol produced similar effects to calorie restriction in insulin mediated glucose uptake in the muscle. The retardation of aging parameters was mediated through alterations in chromatin structure and transcription.
