Health Benefits of Resveratrol
Anti-cancer benefits
Studies have shown that resveratrol is able to work directly as an anti-cancer compound and is also able to stop the regrowth of cancer stem cells. These cells may form the core of most tumours and current chemotherapy maybe unable to defend against them.
However, resveratrol which is a bioactive natural compound maybe able to stop the re-growth, metastasis. Resveratrol has an anti-cancer ability inducing cancer cell death.
Studies into breast cancer, prostate cancer and even pancreatic cancer have shown positive results.
In breast cancer, resveratrol is able to inhibit the cancer and prevent its advancement. It has also shown to improve chemotherapy success and reduce side-effects.
In addition, it has been shown that resveratrol can be taken simultaneously with Tamoxifen in breast cancer treatment.
Studies have shown that a combination of treatment with resveratrol and curcumin has shown promise in the treatment of colon cancer and liver cancer. This combination of resveratrol and curcumin has also shown to aid in the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Resveratrol is a natural anti-oxidant in grapes that contains multiple health benefits
Prevention of Heart Disease
Resveratrol helps to prevent heart disease by protecting the inner lining of the arteries called the endothelium from free radical damage with its antioxidant property.
It is also able to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the ‘bad’ cholesterol), risk of inflammation and prevent blood clots. Studies in mice have shown that resveratrol helps to protect them from diabetes and obesity. These are strong risk factors for heart disease.
Prevention of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Resveratrol has been shown to be neuroprotective and it also helps to increase neurological blood flow. This lowers the risk of dementia.
A study of mice on resveratrol supplements showed the improvement of memory function and this increased mental performance.
Anti-aging Benefits(Skin included)
Free radicals that are produced through aging, ultraviolet light and pollution reduce collagen and cause our skin to wrinkle.
Resveratrol helps to reduce oxidative stress which is involved in skin aging.
In a study involving mice, it was shown that the resveratrol consumed, increased longevity by stimulating the production of survival defense hormones when on calorie restricted diets.
Preservation of Eye Health
Vision can be lost in eye diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Angiogenesis is the process where new blood vessels are formed from existing ones.
This process is natural but sometimes it can go wrong. In macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, normal angiogenesis becomes problematic. Resveratrol helps to regulate this abnormal angiogenesis.
