What resveratrol do you recommend?

As in all supplements, you should read the directions on the packaging - or consult a physician.

Otherwise, resveratrol is very safe. In fact there have been no reported problems with people taking resveratrol, eating peanuts, blueberries, cranberries, Japanese knotweed or drinking grape juice or wine.

Well, there have been problems with people drinking wine and eating peanuts, but those are unrelated to the resveratrol content. :)

Like other antioxidants, resveratrol is a great addition to your daily nutrition. Most supplements have around 100 mg of resveratrol. You can find 200 mg ones if you look hard. Make sure it is trans-resveratrol and 98% is 10 times better than 50%

The original manufacturer is still the best one available. Resmedin is sold at www.600mg.com and their patented formula really works.
