Resveratrol
What is Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a potent anti toxin that is produced by some plants to defend against environmental negative forces. The most significant producer of resveratrol is the grapevine, which manufactures large amounts of resveratrol in the skins of grapes to defend themselves against the natural predators against fungal diseases and damage from the bright hot light of the sun. Wine (in particular red wine – which is fermented with grape skins) has some of the maximum levels of resveratrol out of any naturally occuring food.
