Resveratrol, a new supplement which is found naturally in certain plants and foods is getting a lot of media exposure. Some plants produce it in response to stress, injury, fungal infection, or ultraviolet light. It is found in some foods including grapes, wine, grape juice, peanuts and certain berries like blueberries and cranberries.
There has been extensive testing on resveratrol for treating a host of different diseases including various forms of cancer. To this point most tests haven’t involved humans, but some research is starting to be done with people. Resveratrol has been featured on talk shows and news programs for its potentially life changing benefits.
