Understanding Aging Through Resveratrol

October 20, 2009




skincare2For several decades, there are serious and thorough studies conducted about anti aging. In the human body, there are over 20,000 genes. Out of these 20,000, there are those that prevent aging.

During the course of studies to interpret aging genetics, scientists have discovered a compound found in wine grapes skin called resveratrol. This has the ability to switch to the longevity genes. Studies about the various effects of resveratrol and about anti-aging were attributed to the studies of Dr. David Sinclair.

The center of the research done by Dr. Sinclair was about sirtuins. These are cellular enzymes considered as the regulators of aging and are found in different living organisms.

Sirtuins are responsible for allowing the cells to survive the damage and the delay of the death of a cell. They repair damages to cells. But factors like pollution, unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle result to a worse condition and the DNA becomes damaged resulting to a problem on cell duplication.

Sirtuins have the ability to repair the damage to cells, but the concern was the activation of the pathway. Series of studies have led to isolating a sirtuin activator called resveratrol.

Dr. Sinclair made successful studies about the use of resveratrol on laboratory mice and he observed that those that were given resveratrol exhibited high level of energy and showed more stamina.

Resveratrol was found to have modified the pathways of aging. Because of the success of many studies about resveratrol, Dr. Sinclair entered into partnership with another expert and they founded Sirtis Pharmaceutical that released a version of resveratrol.

Resveratrol was also found to reduce the levels of glucose in diabetic patients. Further researches reported that resveratrol helps improve the function of the blood vessels and slows the development of atherosclerosis, which is the hardening of the blood vessels.

Resveratrol has also been known as a catalyst for heart ailment. It was later on verified that resveratrol has a positive effect on one’s cardiac health.

Apart from these, findings have shown that resveratrol is good for muscle endurance and strength as well as good for the brain.

With resveratrol, there are many health benefits that can be derived and enjoyed. Adding it to your nutrition, it is advisable to take two capsules everyday and you will get rid of your aging problems as well as other health concerns that may have been bothering you for long.
