A few months back I was watching TV and ran across this special on 60 minutes. This peaked my interest because I have seen friends and family suffer health related problems, and for the past several years I have been making slight changes in my diet, testing and adding supplements to my diet, and trying to get the right amount of sleep (7 to 8 hours), and exercise so that I might avert some of the common health related problems like heart disease, diabetes, etc..
Take a look at this short video, then I will ramble on some more about how my recent testing with resveratrol is going.
Ok so you get the picture, basically you would have to drink massive quantities of red wine and or grape juice to even come close to the amount of resveratrol that you can get in some resveratrol supplements that are commercially available.
I first tried a few different supplements of it, and since I have been taking it for over 3 months now, I have seen some improvements in the following areas.
- Energy level ( I may be imagining this but I don’t think so)
- I have dropped a few (5) pounds over the past three months and have not changed my diet. If this is a direct result of the resveratrol, and say I lost the same five pounds every 3 months, in a year that could be a significant weight loss. It is a known fact that caloric restriction will lengthen your lifespan.
- Regularity ( I won’t elaborate much here)
It is still too early but the initial effects seem to be very positive. I have not experienced any side affects from taking the supplement. The only think I sometimes notice is that if you don’t take it with food you will burp what tastes like condensed grape juice?
I guess that is what this is. It is kind of like when I take fish oil on an empty stomach, now that is sick, burping fish oil. So far I have been following the recommended dosage, because like anything, too much of a good thing can be bad.
Tonight I created this little picture with photo-shop from a graphics pack I purchased a few years ago, for those who like to drink wine don’t give it up, just take resveratrol too.
This pair of supplements seems like it may be a dynamic duo with zero side affects.

I found your post while searching Google. Very relevant especially as this is not an issue which a lot of people are conversant with.
Really interesting to see the good feedback on reservatrol! I’ve read about scams on the internet. Was your try a free trial offer? or you bought some bottles?
Thanks!
