Resveratrol may well be one of the Biggest Discoveries in the Area of Health for Decades to Come...

Some Harvard-educated researchers believe they've discovered a proverbial 'fountain of youth'.*

They're talking about resveratrol, calling it a miracle ingredient, and the greatest discovery since antibiotics.
Resveratrol is a compound found in the skin and seeds of grapes.

Researchers have been mystified for years about how the French can smoke cigarettes and eat high-fat foods, yet still have extremely low rates of cancer and heart disease. They call it the French paradox.

Harvard researchers Dr. Christoph Westphal and David Sinclair conducted genetic research to investigate the French paradox.
Until now, scientists believed drinking red wine had health benefits... but couldn't put their finger on exactly why.
Now they believe the resveratrol in wine activates cells into behaving more youth-like in a number of ways.*

This is One of the Few Supplements I personally Take Each Day
As many of us know, supplements can come and go within the health industry - always making room for the next big discovery. Rarely will there be a supplement that withstands the rigors of scientific investigation - but when it does, we know that it is special. Guess what? Resveratrol is one such discovery...

I'll tell you in a minute how you can get your highly-concentrated resveratrol without the alcohol, sugars and calories of red wine.
But first, let's discuss how to control your free radical levels...

A Potent Free Radical Scavenger
Aging is a natural process that reflects the free radical damage that accumulates in your cells over the years. When your body uses oxygen, it naturally produces free radicals that attack your cells. Even breathing produces free radicals. This means your very cells are constantly under attack from free radicals; and sooner or later, you WILL begin to experience the first signs of aging.
A diet rich in fresh, organic vegetables and fruits is one of the best ways to enhance your body's free radical protection, but powerhouses like resveratrol may give you an extra boost.

Resveratrol deeply penetrates the center of your cell's nucleus, giving your DNA time to repair free radical damage. It also supports cell functions in your heart and brain so that you can:
Help prevent the rampant spread of cancer cells at any stage
Keep your blood circulation going smoothly and prevent arterial damage
Protect your brain from the development of Alzheimer's disease
Prevent neurological disorders such as strokes, ischemia, and Huntington's disease

Resveratrol Helps Lower Insulin & Inflammation
How is it that resveratrol may help to boost brain and heart health, while slowing down the aging process?
One is through its ability to modify inflammation in your body. Resveratrol helps prevent your body from creating sphingosine kinase and phospholipase D -- two molecules known to trigger inflammation.

While inflammation is a natural bodily response (it's a process in which your body's white blood cells protect you from outside invaders such as bacteria and viruses), it's possible for your body to exist in a chronically inflamed state.
Chronic inflammation is not beneficial, and in fact has been linked to numerous chronic diseases including heart disease.
Resveratrol also seems to produce many similar benefits as exercise, including lowering insulin levels, which is a key to fighting disease and staying young. Insulin resistances speed up the aging process, while keeping insulin level resistance normal has the opposite effect.

Sirtris Pharmaceuticals has, in fact, already developed a resveratrol pill that was used in a trial on people with untreated diabetes.
The results?
Lowered glucose and insulin levels without any changes in diet or taking other drugs. I certainly do not recommend that you replace a healthy diet or exercise program with resveratrol, but the research suggests it is a powerful addition to a healthy lifestyle.
Remember, too, that resveratrol is a potent antioxidant, and antioxidants help to protect your cells from free radical damage and aging.

What are the Best Sources of Resveratrol?
Now that I've clearly identified resveratrol as one of your best water-soluble antioxidant sources, there's still an open issue... what's the best way to make sure you consume enough of this antioxidant?
To me, one of your best sources of resveratrol is from grapes themselves.
But, just like there are issues with other fruits, vegetables, nuts, and red wine, such is the case with grapes.
See, the skin and seeds of the grapes provide you with the most potent supplies of resveratrol... not the fruit itself. The meat of the fruit contains sugary fructose which could raise your insulin levels.
There's not really an issue with eating the skin - as you consume it when eating the fruit.
But the seeds are another issue.

Most people don't like to eat the seeds as they tend to be tough and have a somewhat bitter taste. And some grape processing actually removes the seeds prior to distribution at your local store.

So, now what can you do?
Well, if you cannot find a good source of grapes with the seeds still intact, or even if you do locate a source but you don't want to eat the seeds, I have another alternative for you.
It's our recently developed T98 Formulation...

Introducing Our Latest Formulation - T98
Even if you do find a natural source of resveratrol via consuming countless bottles of red wine, or copious amounts of grapes - there are major advantages in store for you when using our T98 Resveratrol / grapeseed formulation.

You see, its just impossible to consume enough red wine or chew on enough grapeseeds to get the equivelent benefit as you will from just two capsules of our T98 formulation.

A good suplement, but I feel MMS is a better and cheaper option.
