BrainMax Resveratrol 60 cps

Resveratrol is an antioxidant that can be found in the skins and kernels of grapes, blueberries, black currants or peanuts. BrainMax Resveratrol is extracted from Japanese knotweed.

Resveratrol is an antioxidant. More than 70 plant species have been identified as sources of resveratrol, although not all are edible. Resveratrol is also classified as a phytoalexin. Phytoalexins are compounds that plants produce to fight pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. When plants sense an infection, they produce more phytoalexins, which help against microbial invaders, but also against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. This means that plants that produce resveratrol and other types of antioxidants actually do so partly as a protective mechanism and response to external stressors.

Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant that can also be found in red wine, where it occurs in concentrations of approximately 1-5 mg per litre, depending on the variety and the production process. The recommended amount of resveratrol for potential health benefits is often quoted in the range of 100-500 mg per day. If we consider an average of 2,5 mg of resveratrol per litre of wine, we would need to drink between 40 and 200 litres of red wine per day to obtain 100-500 mg of resveratrol. This amount is unrealistic and, above all, dangerous because of the alcohol content!

It is a dietary supplement.
