Resveratrol

  1. So I was watching [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCGwhXOP8_Y&NR=1]YouTube - David Sinclair at TEDMED 2009[/ame]

    and the speaker was talking about it and was just wondering if anyone here has taken it or known anyone that has tried it out. Kinda curious if it really works and if so where the best place is to get it.

    Found Resveratrol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    but just started looking around for info on it so if anyone has any better or more info on it please post about it.

    So far from what i've read the higher the dose the better it's effects are.
     
  2. Hmm, so it has cancer fighting properties and can lengthen life? I'm gonna have to look this stuff up in greater detail, nice find! Thanks!

    my parents and i take resveratrol supplements everyday.

    Ya know how the french seem to have less heart disease and live longer than americans? well its because they drink so much wine and eat so many grapes. Really though the only type of wine with significant amounts of resveratrol is pinot noir, but even then thats only like 10mg per serving and its recommended to take about 400mg a day. Hence the supplements.
     
  4. It may take me some time to find, but a synthetic derivative of resveratrol was created not too long ago. Apparently it was a lot more potent than resveratrol itself. They injected it into mice which they allowed to become fat blobs... I mean high calorie, high carbohydrate diet. A diet that would pack on pounds for any normal mouse, but these mice were thin and fit and ready to roll. Never got fat, and never got cancer.

    The drug got stopped somewhere in testing and I wish I knew why. There definitely could be some crazy motherfucking side effects, though. Always a possibility.
     

  5. Those same mice caused 9/11.
     
  6. I didn't know Bush and Cheney used to be lab mice! :eek:
     
  7. Like you said, crazy side effects :smoke:
     
  8. Anyone have anything that is actually related to this molecule? Still haven't found anything showing the side effects that are "crazy" in a bad way.
     
  9. Ive been taking resveratrol for about 2 months now and will continue to take it. It seems like my brain makes connections much faster now. Ive noticed that ive been sleeping better also, like if i get up to take a piss its easier for me to fall back asleep and while im sleeping i go into a deeper state of REM sleep than before. Working out has improved too, I can pretty much do everything i did before times 2. If your young like me I would reccomend taking vitamins and stuff like resveratrol because we are the first generation that could really take advantage of ways like this to stay healthy. Smoke weed in moderation and you will live forever.
