DESCRIPTION
Trans Resveratrol Promotes :

Anti-estrogenic effect.
Improves cardiovascular health.

Prevents cancer.
Increases endurance.
Stimulates metabolism 29% (vs. 10% for caffeine).
Anti-inflammatory activity:
Resveratrol can inhibit platelet aggregation. Following damage to arterial walls, platelets attach themselves to damaged parts of the blood vessel, producing DPA and thromboxane A2. These compounds trigger platelet aggregation, while thromboxane A2 causes vasoconstriction. The accumulation of large numbers of platelets forms a compact mass that can obstruct the artery.
Antioxidant action :
Excessive production of free radicals in the body can cause significant damage to cells. This process also disrupts
cell membrane function and produces carcinogenic by-products. Free radical attacks on DNA can result in carcinogenic mutations, while protein attacks inhibit enzymes and reject cellular signals linked to proliferation and defense. Resveratrol also has remarkable anti-cancer properties: it fights the formation of free radicals, protects DNA from chemical damage and neutralizes carcinogenic substances in the liver.
Estrogenic effect :
Resveratrol promotes anti-estrogenic action by preventing the most potent endogenous estrogens from attaching to estrogen receptors. It belongs to the SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator) family of molecules. Resveratrol's activity on alpha-oestrogen receptors is significant, but its affinity for these receptors is some 7,000 times less than that of oestrogen itself. In other words, resveratrol can latch onto the receptor to block the more potent and toxic estrogen metabolites from binding and influencing biological function.
