Why You Should Be Taking a Resveratrol Supplement
Posted on May 01, 2021

Resveratrol is one of the many powerful ingredients we included in our new Nervous System Multi.

Each ingredient in this new supplement provides a wide range of health benefits, but together, they pack a powerful punch. 

Here’s why resveratrol was added to our formulation:

Resveratrol is known to be highly anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic and anticancer.

It attenuates mitochondrial impairment by stressors.

It upregulates mitochondrial antioxidant-forming enzymes, and this decreases the load of ROS (oxygen reactive species) in the mitochondria.

ROS are free radicals, which are produced as your body undergoes its natural processes.

But when your body cannot create enough antioxidants to neutralize free radicals like ROS, oxidative damage occurs.

ROS in your mitochondria can negatively impact the overall function of your cell, particularly the energy output. 

In addition to protecting mitochondria from damaging oxidative stress, resveratrol has also been shown to increase the production of mitochondria.


RESVERATROL'S NEUROPROTECTIVE BENEFITS


Resveratrol is viewed as a neuroprotective molecule although its mechanism of function is not fully understood yet. 

Resveratrol has been found to protect brain mitochondria from toxins. It has also protected brains from amyloid damage to the mitochondria.

In terms of longevity and cognition protection, resveratrol has shown benefits too.

It improved cognition and mitochondria-related parameters in senescence-accelerated rat models. It reverses motor and cognitive impairments in rat models as well.


HOW RESVERATROL IMPROVES MITOCHONDRIAL HEALTH


Resveratrol enhances the production of your body’s primary antioxidant, glutathione. It also reduces NF-kappaB signaling by activating SIRT1.

This is highly anti-inflammatory. 

It is thought that the neuroprotective effects of resveratrol are mainly due to its antioxidant abilities.

In terms of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, resveratrol has been found to be one of the most potent activators of the SIRT compound – this is crucial for mitochondrial health.

Resveratrol mimics the longevity and lifespan enhancement of intermittent fasting on a cell.

Animal studies have demonstrated that not only does resveratrol increase lifespan, but it also improves health in general.

For instance, one study has shown that 3-4 glasses of red wine daily (red wine naturally contains resveratrol) had an 80% reduction in the incidence of dementia compared to those that drank less than that or nothing.

Our new Nervous System Multi contains resveratrol, chlorella, PEA, and more for their powerfully neuroprotective and antioxidant benefits!

This new supplement, formulated by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Meredith Warner, is a gamechanger in protecting your nervous system health while reducing nervous system damage and pain.
