Resveratrol is a type of phytonutrient known as a polyphenol. Found in the skin of grapes, wine, grape juice, peanuts, and berries, it has often been hailed as a life-extending natural compound. After all, research in mice and lab rats has indicated it can protect those animals from obesity and diabetes and has anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and blood-sugar-lowering effects, too. However, rats and mice are rodents -- and their physiology is in many ways different from the primate family that includes apes, monkeys and, most importantly, human beings.
But now for the first time a study has shown resveratrol has the ability to rev up metabolism and spark weight loss in primates -- and that means the polyphenol might have weight loss and even anti-aging and life-extending benefits in people, too.
Fabienne Aujard, from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, France, worked with a team of scientists to document how a diet supplemented with resveratrol impacted the weight, metabolism and energy intake of six mouse lemurs. (Despite their names, mouse lemurs have nothing to do with rodents. Found only on the African island nation of Madagascar, they are mouse-sized primates -- the group that includes apes and humans.)

he study, which was just published in the BMC Physiology journal, showed that after four weeks of resveratrol supplementation there was a significant decrease in the animals' food intake along with a reduction in the body-mass gain lemurs normally experience in winter. The response to the resveratrol supplementation also involved significant changes in the animals' body temperatures. The researchers noted that resveratrol appears to reduce weight by increasing satiety (the feeling of being full) and also by increasing the resting metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at rest) -- so the animals burned up more calories even when not exercising.
"We've found that lemurs eating a diet supplemented with the compound (resveratrol) decreased their energy intake by 13 percent and increased their resting metabolic rate by 29 percent," Dr. Aujard said in a statement to the press. "These results provide novel information on the potential effects of resveratrol on energy metabolism and control of body mass in a primate. The physiological benefits of resveratrol are currently under intensive investigation, with recent work suggesting that it could be a good candidate for the development of obesity therapies."

Açai Resveratrol Ultimate ORAC Antioxidant Extreme™ - 60 VeganCaps™
Açai Resveratrol Ultimate ORAC Antioxidant Extreme is 100% Hard- Core and Nutritionally Supports Anti-Aging & Normal Cell Division.* This product is whole foods PLUS Herbal Extracts such as Turmeric – Goji Berry – Grape Seed – Pine Bark – Pomegranate
The goal of Antioxidant Extreme™ is to make the most deeply effective and highest ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) antioxidant product (both water and fat soluble) with benefits far beyond just ORAC. PERIOD. That goal is what this 6th evolution of Antioxidant Extreme™ is all about. Free radicals rage a war of destruction on your DNA, contributing to virtually every disease, degenerative and aging process known*. So many products tout benefits but simply do NOT contain the actually effective botanicals, or quantities of them, to be effective. Many formulators are ignorant of this, while many others do it knowingly. Either way, integrity issues come up.
Antioxidant Extreme™ allows you to actually achieve the benefits that research shows these amazing nutritional substances can provide! The supportive HERBAL ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVATORS™ contained herein are extremely potent antioxidants themselves and also significantly increase the absorption and effectiveness of the other botanicals. This glass bottle with plastisol-lined metal lid, VeganCaps™, and oxygen absorber prevents oxidation and preserves the antioxidant properties. (Dramatic difference vs. other packaging methods)
No retreat, no surrender! Free radicals have met their match!
