3 Natural Resveratrol Sources
Posted by admin on Feb 21, 2010
I’m sure you have heard of Resveratrol before, what with all the publicity it’s been getting, but what are the best resveratrol sources?
The 3 Top Resveratrol Sources
There are three places you can find resveratrol in abundance; peanuts, Japanese knotweed, and red wine. Those are the places you can find them naturally, anyway. You can also find some dietary supplements that contain resveratrol, but they have gotten their resveratrol from one of the three natural sources.
You can find large amounts of resveratrol in red wine. This doesn’t mean you could evaporate the liquid from wine and only have resveratrol left, The best thing about wine happens when you drink it. Most people will pour the wine in a glass and sip on it all night. When you take that initial sip, it will sit on your tongue for a moment before you swallow. It’s at this time that the resveratrol in the wine is absorbed in your mouth. Since it is absorbed in your mouth, it goes directly into your bloodstream. See, it doesn’t even matter if wine doesn’t contain a huge amount of resveratrol, because it gets absorbed easier than dietary supplements. The problem lies in the fact that you need to drink over a liter of red wine per day to get the same amount of resveratrol as contained in the supplements. There are people that wouldn’t object to this in the least, but there are those of us who don’t want the risks of drinking so much, or the hangover afterward!
