Resveratrol Wine
Here's something that you should know if you're interested in resveratrol and its reported therapeutic benefits. Resveratrol can be found in large "packages" in red wine – the alcoholic beverage that has attracted the attention of scientists and modern medicine.
It actually is the wine drinking habits of some people that made scientists take note of the medicinal promise of this plant antibiotic. Scientists believe that the reason behind the low incidence of cardiovascular disease in southern European countries is their people's habit of drinking wine. It is because of the believed benefits of resveratrol that many practitioners suggest drinking red wine (a 4 oz. glass) with dinner.
But you have to realize that indulging in wine solely for the benefit of resveratrol isn't something that's medically approved or prudent. Alcohol can be dangerous and addictive when not taken in moderation. But moderate intake of wine may not give you the full benefits of resveratrol. So, what to do? Resveratrol pills or supplements containing the compound are an option for non-drinkers and those that want the full benefit without the increased alcohol intake.
