What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol powder is a phenolic compound, a stilbene, created by plants in response to injury, infection, and fungal attack. It exists in two forms, the trans- and cis- molecule forms, with trans-resveratrol being the highly-absorbable form. The compound is regarded as having powerful antioxidant effects, thereby supporting health at the cellular level.

There have been numerous studies that show the benefits of moderate red wine consumption on health. That’s because of the resveratrol in grapes. Red wine is fermented with the antioxidant-potent grape skins present; some studies suggest that the intake of red wine (and therefore resveratrol) may yield cholesterol-lowering effects. The effect of red wine and wine polyphenol resveratrol on endothelial function was investigated and proved in many experiments on hypercholesterolemic rabbits.
Resveratrol Sources
Resveratrol can be found in several natural sources, including grapes, berries, and certain nuts like peanuts. However, many people choose to take resveratrol in the form of a synthetic supplement, as synthetic resveratrol has been shown to be more effective than natural resveratrol at increasing levels of this important antioxidant in the body.
Polygonum cuspidatum Extract, also known as Japanese Knotweed extract, is the most popular natural resveratrol extract source. The popular specification is 50% resveratrol and 98% resveratrol powder.
Synthetic resveratrol is made in a laboratory, and it’s structurally identical to the natural form of resveratrol. Synthetic resveratrol has all of the same health benefits as natural resveratrol, but it’s more concentrated and easier to take.
