For many years now, scientists have been struggling to unlock the mystery of the "French Paradox." How could French people eat real butter, real cheese, and red meat, and still have remarkably low levels of heart disease? The French eat a diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol, yet have a lower incidence of cardiovascular issues. According to FOX News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton, "the miracle compound is something called Resveratrol, found in the skins of grapes, and in red wine. However, the content of Resveratrol is naturally very low in Grape, it is almost impossible to produce a natural product with high % of Resveratrol exclusive from Grape using today's technique. Because of this, a natural product with a high content of Resveratrol made from Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu zhang) has been used in many studies of Resveratrol. Great effects and health benefits have been reported. Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu zhang) is a Chinese herb actually a weed that is the world's richest source of resveratrol, the phytochemical also found in red wine that has generated a huge buzz for its disease-preventive actions in the body.

Can Resveratrol fight the aging process? 
It’s obviously inconcievable to put a stop to the aging process and stay youthful for ever but many scientists believe that Resveratrol could help slow down the aging process. This may be on the whole due to it’s action in eliminating free radicals but the real reason is still covered in mystery and many people are now taking Resveratrol knowing that even though it may not hold the secret of everlasting youth they have noticed some visible health benefits. Even more interesting from a nutritional point of view are recent results indicating that certain molecules of dietary origin, including quercetin and especially resveratrol, are very powerful sirtuin activators; it is this activation that may increase cell longevity. For example, the addition of resveratrol to a growth culture of single-celled organisms such as yeast increases cell lifespan by 80%. Generally, yeasts live for nineteen generations; adding resveratrol boosted life expectancy to a maximum of thirty-eight generations! Resveratrol activates anti-aging genes that stimulate the production of proteins that circulate in your body, throwing overboard cells that aren't pulling their weight and rejuvenating cells damaged by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).

Cancer - This "miracle" nutrient maybe useful for preventing many types of cancer. Studies from the University of Illinois have shown that the number of early breast lesions and skin cancers in mice dropped dramatically when they were given high doses of resveratrol. A large body of research supports the role of resveratrol in resisting cancer. Resveratrol has been found to suppress the activation of inflammatory cytokines and COX-2, and shows special promise in preventing and slowing the progression of breast cancer. Virtually every pathway for tumor growth and propagation is blocked by resveratrol. Researchers appear to have developed a consensus that low concentrations of resveratrol cannot only counteract tumor initiation but can inhibit tumor cell survival. Resveratrol targets the very machinery inside cells that promote tumor cell survival. Of all the plants we’ve tested for cancer chemo preventive activity this one (reveratrol) has the greatest promise (Pezzuto 1997). Resveratrol was effective against all three cancer stages- initiation, promotion and progression (Jang Et Al 1999, Subbaramaiah Et Al 1999, Kang Et Al 2003)

Below is just a sampling of scientific studies showing the benefits of Resveratrol:
A protective role against colon carcinogenesis (Tessitore Et Al 2000)
Anti cancer agent in breast cancer (Nakagiawa Et Al 2001) 
Reduced tumor volume in lung carcinoma (Kimura Et Al 2001) 
Effective against prostate cell lives (Kampa Et Al 2000) 
Helps in acute monocytic leukemia (Tsan Et Al 2000)

Cardiovascular - Studies have shown that resveratrol may prevent heart disease in two important ways. First, it inhibits the formation of blood clots, which can trigger both heart attack and stroke. Other studies, in animals and in vitro, have shown that resveratrol can inhibit the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol. It increases the blood’s antioxidant capacity and reduces plaque in arteries. It works as an antioxidant to prevent the low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol from building up in your artery walls and blocking blood flow to your heart and brain. It also stops your blood from turning sticky and clumping together. Blood moves through your arteries more easily, taking some of the pressure off your heart and reducing your risk of stroke.
