Claims of the healthy and life-extending properties of resveratrol, the much-hyped anti-oxidant ingredient in grapes, red wine and chocolate are unfounded, new research suggests.
The red-wine polyphenol, resveratrol, believed to benefit longevity and heart health for its antioxidant properties, has been found to undermine the cardiovascular benefits of exercise in a small study.
Intake of the red wine polyphenol resveratrol could help boost exercise performance by improving strength and endurance, according to new research in rats out of the University of Alberta.
