Resveratrol

Overview

In plain language

Resveratrol is a plant-based compound found in grapes and berries. It supports heart health, circulation, and longevity by protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in red grapes, berries, and peanuts that activates longevity genes called sirtuins. These genes regulate cellular aging, metabolism, and stress resistance. Resveratrol also provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, supports cardiovascular health by promoting healthy blood vessel function, and may help maintain healthy blood sugar and lipid levels. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it valuable for neuroprotection.

Inflammaging

Inflammaging is a term used to describe the chronic, low-grade inflammation that occurs as we age. This chronic inflammation can contribute to a variety of age-related diseases, including heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Understanding inflammaging can help us develop strategies to promote healthy aging and reduce the risk of age-related diseases.
