Description

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in many plants, particularly grapes and peanuts. It is widely recognized as a powerful antioxidant with multiple actions that promote longevity and cell health. Resveratrol protects against oxidative stress both through direct antioxidant effects and through the activation of cellular pathways associated with antioxidant defense. This includes stimulation of the potent transcription factor nuclear erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which increases the expression of multiple antioxidant enzymes associated with cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and healthy aging effects.

Resveratrol also activates sirtuin SIRT1, a protein responsible for regulating many essential cellular functions, including DNA repair, mitochondrial biogenesis, autophagy, inflammation, metabolism, and more. SIRT1 has been associated with life expectancy, longevity, cardiovascular function, and reduced risk of many age-related conditions. Indeed, SIRT1 is considered a “longevity gene,” as many of the benefits of calorie restriction observed in experimental studies are thought to be mediated by SIRT1 activation. Clinical trials of resveratrol have demonstrated several aging-related benefits, including increasing SIRT1 levels, improving cognitive function, and improving cardiovascular risk factors.
