By now we all have heard of the remarkable potential of resveratrol. If it lives up to the hype, it may be nothing short of a miracle drug. I've been doing a bit of research on the different brands, and this one, with its price to mg ratio and quality, seems to be among the best according to consensus. (I don't work for the company or own its stock--don't even know if its public or not.) Another brand that seems to get high marks is Nature's Way. I definitely recommend trying some form of resveratrol. I may be experiencing a placebo and its only one person's experience, but I feel good taking it. This supplement, like most reservatrol supplements, contains a significant amount of emodin, which is known for its laxative effect. It seems to be increasingly well tolerated by the body as you continue to take it, so I recommend slowly ramping up your dosage. It seems like a dose of 500mg a day (5 of these pills) is what most people work themselves up to. I have been taking three or four pills for a few weeks and will go up to and level off at about five pills a day. Some swear by taking it on an empty stomach but that is a bit too strong for my taste. Why not take your resveratrol with dinner and a nice glass of wine? (Spacing out the pills over the course of a day may be advisable.)
