Hype or not?

it seemed to lower my blood sugar which is already consistantly low on gear.It did seem to elevate mood for me. I was taking a 1/4 teaspoon 2x daily

I think the benefits are legit. When I looked into it a few years ago, I think one of the problems is getting the real stuff. My memory could be wrong.

I'm reading "age defying diet" by atkins right now because I'm getting older and I'm looking for a healthy way to maintain my youth..blah blah.
I want what everyone else wants: to slow my aging and to look as good as possible for as long as possible.
This book is giving me some simple, effective solutions. I'm sure the resveratrol is effective. but just like exercising and chasing it up with a milkyway bar isnt going to do much good, taking a quality supplement and then screwing up in another important area may negate the benefits you thought you were getting. check out the book. I'm not done with it yet, but its a good read.

i always know when i get pure 98-100% resveratrol because it makes my joints and lumbar spine ache....and no loose bowel movements that the 50% extract gives.

i would stay on resveratrol on a continued basis but the cost and the joint pain was not worth it for me

Hi,

I am a noobie to the site. So this is my very first post.

Ok my experience with Res.

Of course like many people I saw it in the media. Then I watched some videos on youtube to learn more. So I then decided to try it. I went ahead and bought the big liquid bottle at GNC.

Now the scoop. First of all that liquid tasted like warm vomit. And not my vomit.
I noticed it helped with heart burn. And it helped me not bloat. Some of my meds do that to me. So just those two made it worth it. But my body doesnt like the caps so I am stuck with the liquid. Which is ok if you mix it with a shot of Snap E Toms or a similar spicy tomato drink. That masks the taste really well. For me those are the only two things I noticed.

Will it extend your life? Who knows. But it doesnt hurt to try I guess.

I dont think its a hyped product per se. I do believe there is real world evidence that it works. But I also believe it is something that must have been part of a daily diet for years. Alot of this product reflects off the French diet. Like using rich creams and cheeses, etc... I've been using 1% and/or skim milk and cheese for a long time. I never got into the rich foods. But as soon as I bought some quality organic whole milk and used good quality rich cheese and butter, and other items in my deit... I ate less. I ate a lot less and felt fuller and not as hungry through out the day. I just wanted to add a little bit on things I feel go hand in hand with res...

I do not believe it is a cure all. Nor do I believe taking high doses on a daily basis is a way to "Make Up" lost time. I also do not believe any of those effects people are seeking, such as life longevity nor lean muscular bodies like seen in test mice, will ever happen when taken in such a late stage in life. If you already have the body, then maybe, in my mind, you might be able to use it as a catalyst for some types of gains. Maybe not in lean bulky muscle but then again who knows.

I would say if there were a group of experienced people, that really knew their bodies, knew when something in their diet made any changes, and they kept everything in their daily routine the same... would we see anything? Hmmm.. blind study... just give a months worth of liquid Res to a friend and see if anything happens to them? lol

so i understand from u that it's like an ordinary supp. a nice addition to ur diet if u have extra money to spend no dramatic changes in body structure maybe good for maintaining ?
