CONSUMER LAB. - "Product Review - Resveratrol Supplements (including red wine, Grape and Polygonium Sources)" An excellent, informative report, recommended reading, including the statement: "No one knows the right dose of resveratrol that is beneficial and safe for people."
Nutrition Action Health Letter, March, 2009, Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), page 9, "RESVERATROL", effectively describes the unresolved status of the subject - how the Associated Press headline (Nov., 2006) reported, "Big fat doses of red wine extract help obese mice stay happy, healthy and live longer."
The article goes on to report that last August, "...the researchers who published the headline-grabbing 2006 study quietly released the results of a trial in normal-weight, middle-aged mice fed a normal diet plus reservatrol. This time there was no publicity, probably because the mice didn't live any longer than mice given a placebo."
Same infomation source - We were pleased to read that Felipe Sierra, director of the biology program at National Institute on Aging (NIA) has decided to test it in a program that will take several years. The article ends by quoting his bottom line, "Resveratrol is a very interesting molecule, but its role in aging is still up in the air. There's nothing proven in People - Nothing. "
