You may have already heard about the latest anti aging supplement, resveratrol.
After being featured on prime time news programs and some of the most popular day time talk shows, a lot of people are looking for more information on this supplement.
Unlike some health crazes, there is a lot of research about whether a resveratrol supplement can help you live longer.
There are some scientists and researchers that think this is the key to unlocking longer life, but there still aren't any FDA approved drugs using this yet.
Resveratrol can be found in some foods and drinks that many people already consume.
For example, if you like to have a glass of red wine with dinner, you are getting some.
If you eat red grapes or peanuts, you are also getting a dose.
There is about the same amount of resveratrol in either a glass of red wine or a cup of peanuts or red grapes.
While this is good and these foods may provide other health benefits, you will need a lot more to match the levels being used in clinical trials.
In fact, you would have to drink hundreds of bottles of wine a day to match the concentration being used in some trials.
Since it would be hard to get the level being used in clinical studies, resveratrol supplements are the only way you can try to get the benefits being tested.
Some supplements are as much as 500 times stronger than a glass of wine and most are at least 100 times stronger.
While these supplements are unproven and not approved by the FDA, many people are eager to try them and see if this could be the fountain of youth.
Many companies are offering free trials if you pay for the shipping costs.
If you choose to get a free trial, make sure you understand what you are signing up for because you will get new supplements (which aren't free) automatically if you don't cancel your free trial.
Now, let's talk about what you may get from taking a supplement.
According to separate reports on WebMD, resveratrol prevents estrogen from causing breast cancer in test tube studies and can destroy cancer cells plus increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
According to Wikipedia, it has also normalized blood sugar in diabetic lab rats.
There are a lot more promising tests, but at this point nothing has been approved by the FDA.
I don't want to belabor that point, but you need to know that nothing has been proven yet.
With that said, there is reason to believe that taking a resveratrol supplement could have a positive effect on your health.
