Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that is produced by some plants to protect against environmental stresses. Perhaps the most notable producer of resveratrol is the grapevine, which produces large amounts of resveratrol in the skins of grapes to protect against fungal diseases and sun damage. It is therefore no suprise that wine (in particular red wine - which is fermented with grape skins) has some of the highest levels of resveratrol out of any natural food.
Resveratrol Plus promotes healthy blood sugar levels. Encourages antioxidant activity within the body.
Blood sugar refers to the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose is the primary source of energy in the blood's cells and is transported via the bloodstream. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may contribute to health issues regarding energy, mental function, mood and consciousness. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may lead to health concerns involving the eyes, kidneys and nerves.
ZENITH Nutritions Resveratrol Plus contains beneficial amounts of chromium, gymnema sylvestre extract and resveratrol. Chromium is an essential trace mineral important to the processing of carbohydrates and fats in the body. It also helps cells respond well to insulin, the hormone produced within the pancreas that makes blood sugar available as energy. Chromium is most readily absorbed by the body when combined with picolinic acid.
Gymnema sylvestre is an herb that grows in South-east Asia. While its extract has been used in traditional folk medicine, today is best know for supporting healthy blood sugar levels, by helping to mediate insulin release. It is also believed to help maintain healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
ZENITH Nutritions Resveratrol Plus also contains resveratrol, a natural polyphenol found in grape skin and seeds, red grapes in particular. Polyphenols are flavonoids known for their high-antioxidant activity, helping protect the body against oxidative stress and free radical damage. Resveratrol also supports healthy blood pressure levels, while enhancing cardiovascular, vision, joint and circulatory health.
