Drug Uses

The whole grape constituents in French Red Wine enhance the body's antioxidant defenses to counteract the effects of free radicals. Resveratrol is involved in activating the human enzyme SIRT1, which is involved in regulating metabolism and healthy weight control.

How Taken

Drug Class and Mechanism

French Red Wine is a unique red wine extract manufactured in France from premium red grapes abundant in polyphenols and resveratrol. Red wine polyphenols have demonstrated effects in cardioprotection, cholesterol reduction, vision improvement and general free radical scavenging.

Resveratrol came to scientific attention several years ago as a possible explanation of the so-called French Paradox - the low incidence of heart disease among the French people in spite of their relatively high-fat diet.

French Red Wine contains 5% red wine Resveratrol in combination with 30-35% red wine polyphenols.The intake of 100 mg of French Red Wine provides as much Resveratrol as 5 glasses of red wine or 20 glasses of white wine.

More Information

Anti-oxidants are known to be important in reducing cell damage, because of their role in destroying free radicals. They are helpful to the immune system, reducing the risks of many different cancer types as well as diseases of the cardiovascular system, and also preventing many age-related degenerative disorders of the eyes and nervous system. It now appears that a broad spectrum of anti-oxidants provides much better protection, because different anti-oxidants work in different ways to scavenge different types of damaging free radicals from the blood stream.
