Is red wine the best source for a Resveratrol supplement?

No, it is not actually. In spite of resveratrol often being referred to as the Red Wine Molecule the source of the Resveratrol used in virtually all studies, including the Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Auwerx studies, is Polygonum Cuspidatum commonly known as Giant Knotweed. Red wine simply does not contain sufficient concentrations of the key Trans-Resveratrol isomer.

Only low potency and unnecessarily high priced products can be produced from red wine skins. Red wine skins also often contain low concentrations of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals.
