- Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: Resveratrol is a polyphenol that acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that may help control inflammation throughout the body, including the brain.
- Heart health: It may protect blood vessels, improve blood vessel function, and help slow the formation of blood clots. It may also help with hypertension (high blood pressure)
.
- Brain health: Resveratrol may offer neuroprotective effects, which could help preserve memory and brain function. Some studies suggest it could help stabilize neurological biomarkers in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease.
- Diabetes and blood sugar: Studies have shown it can improve blood sugar control and reverse insulin resistance in people with Type 2 diabetes.
- Cancer: Resveratrol has shown potential in laboratory and animal studies to inhibit cancer cell growth and have hormonal effects that could prevent hormone-dependent cancers from spreading.
- Obesity: Some evidence suggests that taking resveratrol by mouth can increase weight loss in overweight and obese adults, though it may not improve blood pressure or cholesterol.
- Hay fever: Using a resveratrol nasal spray has been shown to reduce allergy symptoms in adults and children with seasonal allergies.
