Resveratrol

www.Longevenix.com

I've been on it for a couple of years now. I'm a believer. Of course eating right and exercise are a huge factor as well.

 

Some interesting and promising results...in mice.

We'll see.

Anecdotal.

To the best of my knowledge, there have been no human trials, and the FDA has received no application or opined on the efficacy of Resveratrol for humans and the claims made. Although, my information could certainly be dated.

FDA ain't the messiah, either.

 

Generally, the FDA seeks to verify the claims made by the seller and to ensure that the drugs are not harmful. In order to do this, they require testing and trials by the applicant. While not perfect, this system produces, on average, reliable results. That's not to say it's the be-all, end-all, but it clearly seeks to substantiate the product's attributes and manufacturer's marketing hype.

Actually the FDA hasn't chosen not to do this, we have the honorable Orrin Hatch / Utah senator to thank for this.

 

Tried it for almost a year. did nothing for me.

 

Check out 'Sirtris' a biotech startup bought by Glaxo Smithkline a couple years ago. http://www.sirtrispharma.com/about.html http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/18/magazines/fortune/Live_forever.fortune/index.htm

 

I watch with interest.

We'll see...

I've been taking muscadine grape seed capsules for years. I get them from a winery called the Duplin Winery. It's pure and straight grape seeds. Will see how it effects me years down the line. I also take fish oils.

Sorry about that, hope it was a good run.



All the best,

I always look for a natural remedy whenever possible. I chose a wine extract supplement with resveratrol as opposed to a cholesterol medicine my doctor wanted to prescribe. It's been about 3 years and my cholesterol has improved every year. I still eat burgers, steak and bbq and roasted chicken. I did stop eating fried chicken and pork so that may have contributed. I eat breads, rice, potatoes, buttered bagels and McDonalds breakfast so I tend to believe the supplement is helping a lot.

 

There may have not been trials specifically on Resveratrol, but there have been on Muscadine Grape seeds which have high amounts of resveratrol.

 

Actually, eating foods with cholesterol does not raise your cholesterol level,
eating too many carbs does that. Feel free to google "carbs raise cholesterol" and
read for yourself.

In any event, cholesterol levels are rarely an issue.

CoQ10 is good, but you may want to read this site and article
regarding new research regarding fish oil.

He has a number of other good articles as well.

Really? Let's just say Peskin's reputation isn't stellar...

Neither is "Quackwatch". They hate everything non-medicine.
They have zero credibility.

Joke's on you.

 

Your hero looks like quite the loser actually....

And I quote:

The quackbusters, I've found, aren't individually, or in groups, that bright. Read delicensed MD Stephen Barrett's website "quackwatch.com," and his resume, and you'll see what I mean - and he's their chief propagandist. Everything he says is like he was simply filling out a form, someone with a higher intelligence, had given him. His mouthings are boringly the same, each and every time.

Keep in mind that Barrett, although claiming to be a retired Psychiatrist, was never able to become "Board Certified." He failed his test. Also, Barrett gave up his MD license in 1993. I suspect he just couldn't keep up with new things. His employment record shows he NEVER was able to hold a full-time job - and his claim to "Psychiatric fame" was his part-time (4 to 8 hours a week) employment at a Pennsylvania Mental Hospital - from 1978 through 1993. From 1976 through 1978 he COULD NOT GET a paying job.

Barrett, with his lack of basic intelligence, is getting hammered when he shows up in a courtroom situation - and tries to inflict his weird opinions on a Judge. And Barrett has legal problems all over the country. Basically, I see Barrett as a loser, who couldn't make it in the medical profession. And, Barrett is TYPICAL quackbuster leadership.

Try again loser!
