Health and Well Being

Resveratrol, a molecule that is found in many plants, has attracted much attention by the scientific community in recent years. Both in vitro and in vivo studies (the latter mostly in rodents) have shown that large doses of resveratrol show some efficacy in delaying the aging process in yeasts, short-lived fish, and mice. Scientists hope that past and current studies may help in developing new drugs based on resveratrol and its metabolites, which will benefit humans by protecting against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other so-called “diseases of aging.”
