Resvinatrol Complete™ Benefits

Resvinatrol Complete is a health supplement designed to be the red wine alternative by combining antioxidants like resveratrol, elagic acid, proanthcyanidins, and other antioxidants found in red wine in an easy to use daily capsule.

• Provides Powerful Antioxidant Action

• Over 6000 ORAC units per Serving

• Helps Prevent Free Radical Damage to Cells.

• Supports Heart Health

• Supports the Immune System

The Importance of Packaging
Antioxidants like trans-resveratrol are very reactive to open air as they will oxidize quickly. Product stability is critical to overall product effectiveness. Resveratrol and other antioxidants require special packaging steps to maintain a high level of potency. The most important step in this process is to produce Resvinatrol Complete™ in a nitrogen environment. This procedure protects resveratrol from oxygen and light exposure. Next, by using a nitrogen flushing procedure, each capsule is manufactured in a temperature and humidity controlled environment to ensure efficacy. Finally, we package each capsule in an airtight blister card to further prevent exposure to oxygen and maintain product quality.

Measuring Antioxidant Activity – The Power of Living
The National Institutes of Health has compiled a large list of foods that contain antioxidants. To help show us the power of these foods to absorb free radicals, scientists developed a system that assigns values or an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity – ORAC to each of the foods according to how powerful each food is at eliminating free radicals.

• Resvinatrol Complete™ uses several of these sources to blend the antioxidants resveratrol, quercetin, ellagic acid, and proanthocyanidins into a formula that exceeds 6000 ORAC units per serving.

The average person over 2years of age needs about 5558 ORAC* units per day from food or supplements they consume. Approximately 80% - 90% of people in the world do not consume even half of the daily required ORAC. The reason we need to supplement is that as we age, our natural free radical defense mechanism in the form of macrophages is no longer able to eliminate all of the free radicals in our bodies. Consuming fruits, berries, or antioxidant supplements with high ORAC values allows the antioxidants in those foods to absorb free radicals not neutralized by our own macrophages. Side effects from free radical damage begin to manifest in the form of aches, pains, lost energy, arthritis, strokes, hardening of the arteries, and other maladies. It should be noted that by age 40, our natural ability to neutralize free radicals is at 50% when compared to our youth.

To help understand this chart, the ORAC value is represented by a number that measures the amount of antioxidant activity in a single gram. The higher the value a food has the more free radicals that food can neutralize. Fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries are exceptional food choices that contain a high ORAC value. Roughly 25 grams of these berries will provide you with your daily ORAC. 

Resvinatrol Complete™ Antioxidants – the Power of Living

Resveratrol
Resveratrol is the heart healthy antioxidant found in red wine. Resveratrol is an important antioxidant because of its remarkable properties to rid the body of free radicals that attack and damage our cells. Some scientists say resveratrol  is “the Fountain of Youth.” Resveratrol is being researched extensively by the medical community. Resveratrol is thought to be the reason why French people can consume large quantities of fat in their diet and remain relatively unaffected by the diseases normally associated with a high fat diet. The difference between the people of France and other cultures that consume large quantities of fat in their diet is that they also consume red wine with their meals.

Quercetin
Resvinatrol Complete™ is more than just resveratrol. Adding quercetin to Resveratrol Complete is important for two reasons. First, two published studies now have found that resveratrol rapidly forms conjugates. Quercetin can saturate and bind to the same compounds which conjugate with resveratrol thus allowing resveratrol an extended life. Quercetin also helps to activate the same Sirtuin gene that resveratrol does, albeit less potently. Quercetin belongs to a group of plant pigments called flavonoids that are largely responsible for the colors of many fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Secondly, antioxidants such as quercetin can neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.

Ellagic Acid
Three important sources of ellagic acid found in Resvinatrol Complete™ include muscadines, pomegranate extract, and raspberry extract. This biochemical serves a number of possible functions in these plants, regulating plant growth and seed germination, and protecting them from microbial infections. Ellagic acid may also protect plants from cancer-inducing chemicals, heavy metal poisoning, and predation by insects and insect larvae. Since the early 1990s, researchers have been discovering that ellagic acid offers health benefits to humans as well. Ellagic acid is an important antioxidant due to its link to chemoprevention. Research in animal and laboratory models has found that ellagic acid inhibits the growth of tumors caused by certain carcinogens. A number of double blind studies of humans are underway to determine the effect of long-term daily consumption of concentrated raspberry extract on cancer cell activity in the human colon, prostate, and breast.

Proanthocyanidins
Proanthocyanidins are widely distributed in the plant kingdom and, in addition to being found in grape seeds, are found in cocoa and chocolate, apples, peanuts, almonds, cranberries, blueberries and in the bark of pines, among other plant sources. Proanthocyanidins have been found to have a number of antioxidant activities working in conjunction with resveratrol.

Soy Lecithin
Soy lecithin is extracted from soy beans, the same crop used to produce soy sauce and tofu (soy bean curd). Soy beans have tremendous medicinal potential. Soy Lecithin binds chemically with cholesterol, thus reducing the amount of pure cholesterol in the bloodstream. As more research is conducted, more roles for this plant will be discovered.
