Reveratrol Overview
A derivative of Ko-jo-kon, an oriental medicine used to treat diseases of the blood vessels, heart, and liver, Resveratrol came to scientific attention during the mid-1990s as a possible explanation for the “French Paradox”—the low incidence of heart disease among the French people, who eat a relatively high-fat diet.
Over the years, it has been examined by scientific researchers as an antioxidant, an anti-cancer agent, and a phytoestrogen. It has also been even found on the Internet described as “The French Paradox in a bottle.” One company even markets a red-wine extract antioxidant product called “French Parad’ox.”
Resveratrol occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in the skin, which contains 50-100 micrograms (µg) per gram [4]. Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a class of antibiotic compounds produced as a part of a plant’s defense system against disease such as fungus. Since fungal infections are more common in cooler climates, grapes grown in cooler climates have a higher concentration.
