“Scientists have found that the compound resveratrol — found in red wine and grape skin — slows age-related deterioration and functional decline of mice on a standard diet, but does not increase longevity when started at middle age,” according to a report from Science Daily.

Resveratrol is one of the ingredients in grape skin and grape seed that scientists see as part of the success of the Mediterranean diet that is now coming to the fore. The consumption of grapes and wine is, of course, ancient and has long been a staple in Greece, Italy, France, southern Spain, and other civilizations on the Mediterranean sea. Yet, because foods contain resveratrol and resveratrol does not contain any other food nutrients, it is wise to eat the foods and not take the isolated form of this antioxidant.

Resveratrol, naturally existing within grape skins and grape seeds, is an important ingredient in NutriPlex Formulas’ SuperGreens PhytoFood, which also contains a host of other antioxidants and detoxifying foods. By taking eight tablets or a tablespoon of SuperGreens a day you’ll receive a healthy supply.

The Science Daily report states:

In addition to cardiovascular function, the scientists found resveratrol to have a variety of positive effects on other age-related problems in mice:

• Treated mice tended to have better bone health, as measured by thickness, volume, mineral content and density, and bending stiffness compared to the non-treated control group.
• At 30 months of age, resveratrol-treated mice were found to have reduced cataract formation, a condition found to increase with age in control-group mice.
• Resveratrol enhanced balance and motor coordination in aged animals. Scientists found significant improvement in performance at 21 and 24 months versus 15 months in the resveratrol-treated mice but not in the untreated mice.
• Resveratrol partially mimicked the effects of dietary restriction on the gene expression profiles of liver, skeletal muscle and adipose (fatty) tissue in mice.
• Along with determining the effect of resveratrol on the health of mice, scientists also studied the effect of resveratrol on longevity.
