WHAT IS RESVERATROL?
Resveratrol (trans-3,5,4′-Trihydroxystilbene) belongs to a class of natural compounds called stilbenes. Resveratrol and other stilbenes are small molecules that are rapidly synthesized by plants in response to attacks by bacteria, fungi and predators. Stilbenes presently are the focus of numerous biomedical research studies. Compounds within this chemical class have exhibited a capability to support a healthy inflammatory response in humans and animals.
