Suggested Doses and Supplement Recommendations

Continuing my answer to Paula which began last Monday ...

At the risk of repeating myself, no Resveratrol studies on humans have yet been reported. However, the mouse and monkey studies are extremely encouraging.

One researcher described Resveratrol as the plant’s immune system, staving off all manner of attack. Resveratrol appears to be a multi-faceted and powerful compound that works along several pathways to protect mammals just as it protects the plants which naturally produce it.

The human-equivalent doses I have noted throughout this article, use the FDA’s recommended interspecies calculation. The calculation is used by researchers (as they move from one animal model to another), as well as by veterinarians and pharmacists (to prescribe and dispense drugs).

• For a longer and stronger life – 1000 mg/day (Barger J.L. et al., PubMedCentral, June 2008);
• For heart health – no in vivo studies have yet been reported though in vitro results are promising;
• For protection against cancer – 220 to 440 mg/day (Li Z.G. et al., Carcinogenesis, September 2002);
• For brain health – a “clinically feasible oral dose” (Karuppagounder S.S. et al., Neurochemistry International, February 2009);
• For management of blood sugar levels in diabetics – 550 mg/day (Sun et al., Cell Metabolism, October 2007);
• For management of diabetic neuropathy – between 1000 and 4400 mg/day (Sharma S. et al., Fundamental and Clinical Pharmacology, February 2007).

Tomorrow – the conclusion of the longest blog thread I have ever posted. I hope you agree that the reports on the anti-aging benefits of Resveratrol really deserved close scrutiny.
