Interesting post David Hynes – have you read the latest? Dr Sinclair has resigned from Shaklee! Might be interesting if you want to read more then go here: http://www.biotivia.com/blog/2008/12/harvard-anti-aging-researcher-quits-shaklee-advisory-board/

Very interesting reading, but i think that there are a number of ‘good’ supplement manufacturers including Biotivia Resveratrol Supplements that can overshadow this slightly negative news, but i wish you all the best.

The current studies performed by Dr. Sinclair and many other researchers have shown great promise for resveratrol treating the diseases of aging. There are numerous articles that I have linked to at my website – http://resveratrol.webiage.com – that document the findings for the potential health benefits in treating heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and other diseases.
Concerning supplements containing a high quality and potency of resveratrol that is necessary to achieve the dosage levels utilized in the lab tests, there is a new product called Vivix. Dr. Sinclair partnered with Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S. (http://www.shaklee.com/index.shtml), to produce a liquid resveratrol supplement that is 10 times stronger than resveratrol alone due to its patented formulation of polyphenols. Dr. Sinclair also serves on Shaklee’s Scientific Advisory Board (http://www.shaklee.com/company_sab_dsinclair.shtml.)
Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz are both users and promoters of Shaklee products and Oprah has featured Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee (http://www.shaklee.com/company_lead_ceo.shtml), on her show.
So for a highly researched resveratrol supplement of exceptional quality, please visit – http://www.shaklee.net/davidhynes/vivix – to discover more about Vivix.

Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says many
doctors. Red wine alone does not supply enough resveratrol to achieve the
full range of benefits because one glass of red wine has only about
1mg of resveratrol and you need about 250mg/day. You need to take
high potency resveratrol supplements to achieve the results documented
in scientific studies.Resveratrol Supplements can also help you control
your weight naturally by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting
your appetite.According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand.

I think resveratrol application should only be heavily used by individuals who are not expected to live till the average life expectancy, due to some medical reason. If people start taking this for the sole reason of staying young, can eventually over population become a problem?

What do you guys think are some of the pros and cons if this resveratrol chemical became readily available to the general public?

Resveratrol is going to revolutionise healthcare around the world very shortly. You can buy purified resveratrol now – without the alcohol found in red wine and without waiting 5 years for the phamaceutical industry to put out a resveratrol drug. Check out resveratrol.com for some good information.

Since the Harvard resveratrol study on aging by Dr. Sinclair was published in the journal Nature a flood of dubious companies have sprung up selling resveratrol. Many have no scientist, no labs, no quality control and no experience. Dr. Oz recommends Biotivia Bioforte and Transmax. Consumer Lab, an independent testing authority, evaluated the major brands and found many lacking in content and quality. The highest potency products that passed their evaluation were Biotivia, Transmax and Bioforte. A product by Life Extension Co. failed badly with only 26% of the claimed resveratrol. Another brand, Revatrol, had virtually no trans-resveratrol in its supplement. Revgenitics refused to provide samples for testing. The ConsumerLab test results are available on their web site.
