ResVino-A

Maybe you've heard: Drinking wine, in moderation, can be good for you. But, how can an alcoholic drink be healthy? Science has been asking that question almost as long as people have been stomping grapes. Now ResVino-A captures the health benefits of wine in a single supplement.

Sometime in the 1990s, researchers began to wonder why the French have a significantly lower incidence of heart disease than their global counterparts, in spite of typically consuming a diet high in saturated fats. To find a reason for this contradiction, scientists began to take a close look the beverage usually found on the dinner table—red wine. What they found astounded them—a component in red wine helped the French to live longer, healthier lives, free of heart disease.

Most recently, Danish researchers examined the health status of 25,000 wine drinkers and found that they not only had up to a 40% less risk of succumbing to heart disease, but were less likely to die from any other health-related cause.

Red wine may also offer protection from:

• Cancer (including breast and prostate cancers and neuroblastoma)
• Dementia (including Alzheimer's Disease)
• Free radical damage
• Age-related macular degeneration
• Inflammation (including inflammatory response to spinal injury or brain trauma)
• Type II diabetes

The magical ingredient that has the scientific community so excited is resveratrol, a natural antibiotic produced by plants when threatened by pathogens, such as fungi or bacteria. First isolated and identified in 1940, resveratrol is found in abundance in pine trees, some vines and—you guessed it—red grapes.
