If you are looking to get resveratrol powder, then you will end up paying too much and losing most of the benefits due to the way it works in the body.
Many companies are selling resveratrol powder as it can be very profitable but there is one major problem – the stomach acid!
The stomach acid will destroy almost all the goodness which is why the manufacturers tend to use very high doses. In addition, in high doses resveratrol can have a laxative effect so you need to be very careful.
In a way it is the same as drinking a lot of red wine as despite containing resveratrol, very little manages to get into your bloodstream for any beneficial effects and with wine you have the negative effects of the alcohol too.
So what is the most effective way to take it?
Experts agree the best way is in a nutritional supplement with other synergistic nutrients that can dramatically increase the absorption into the bloodstream and so make the need for higher doses unnecessary.
Another important element is to ensure the supplement has an enteric coating to protect it from the stomach and allow it to be released in the upper intestine instead for the maximum effect, unlike resveratrol powder.
With benefits including improved cardiovascular health, helping you to avoid degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, improved energy levels and the fact it has been shown to help stop cancer in all three stages, it is essential you get the right quality and dose.
The “trans-resveratrol” is the most potent and active form and comes from the Japanese knotweed plant which has long been known for its healing qualities and 20mg a day is an optimal dose.
Apart from improved absorption when combined with other nutrients like piperine from black pepper, green tea and olive leaf extract, you also get a wealth of other health benefits as well.
If you buy just a resveratrol supplement you are really limiting the health benefits and they can cost as much as the ones containing many different nutrients, so it pays to look around and research properly.
Now you know that resveratrol powder is the least effective and most expensive way of taking this powerful antioxidant, look for a supplement instead with all the qualities I have mentioned here and enjoy the maximum health benefits possible.
