(NaturalNews) You've all heard the good news about resveratrol, commonly known as the "red wine nutrient." There's more to resveratrol than red wine, though, and it's helpful for far more than just preventing heart disease. It's also phenomenal for maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance and even supporting increased longevity.
As you'll see below in quotes from health experts about resveratrol, this "miracle" nutrient is also useful for preventing many types of cancer. As you read these quotes, pay special attention to any mention of
phytoalexins, as this is a class of plant-based
nutrients that you'll be hearing about much more in the future (as nutritional
healing becomes more widely known).
If you want to acquire some
resveratrol, there are lots of natural sources such as
red wine or grape leaves (the leaves actually contain far more than the
grapes themselves). The Chinese
medicine herb
hu zhang is also loaded with resveratrol.
If you're looking for resveratrol in a
supplement form, I take the NSI brand from Vitacost.com at

Below, you'll find selected quotes from noted authors on the subject of Resveratrol. Feel free to quote these in your own work provided you give proper credit to both the original author quoted here and this
NaturalNews page.
Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by some higher
plants in response to injury or fungal
infection. Phytoalexins are chemical substances produced by plants as a defense against infection by pathogenic
microorganisms, such as fungi. Alexin is from the Greek, meaning to ward off or to protect.
Resveratrol may also have alexin-like activity for humans.

The Natural Pharmacist: Your Complete Guide to Reducing Cancer Risk by Richard Harkness-
Available on Amazon.comThe large amount of
resveratrol present in red wine is explained not only by the prolonged fermentation period of the grape (the
grape juice that still contains the fruit's skins and seeds), during which the molecules are extracted from the skins and seeds, but also by the fact that the absence of
oxygen in the bottle prevents the
resveratrol from oxidizing. This is why
raisins, also very rich in polyphenols, do not contain any
resveratrol, which in their case is degraded by exposure to air and sunlight.

resveratrol in a red French Bordeaux and the least in a white Bordeaux.Dr. Creasy also found the anticoagulant in purple (but not white) grape juice. It takes about three times as much grape juice as red Bordeaux wine to get equal amounts of the compound, he figures. Table grapes, found in supermarkets, probably contain little of the substance because they are carefully cultivated to prevent fungal infections and blemishes. A pound of home-grown grapes, however, can have as much
resveratrol as two cups of red wine, says Dr. Creasy.

Available on Amazon.comOf late, considerable attention has been devoted by
scientists to the antioxidant properties of red wine's phenolic constituent,
resveratrol, as an important contributor. White wine contains much less of this antioxidant, and therefore it has fewer health
benefits.
Resveratrol, unfortunately is not in
green tea. However, green
tea may offer even greater potential for
health protection, since it not only includes the flavonoids active in red wine but also includes even more powerfully protective flavonoids that are unique to it.

Available on Amazon.comOne of the ways to activate sirtuin is through
resveratrol, found in red wine. You get the health benefits of wine-lower LDL, more antioxidants the skin of the grape touches the seeds for at least three weeks. But in many of today's wines, that time is less than a week. Another factor: The smaller the grape and the more seeds it has, and the cooler the climate it grows in, the better. Knotweed (a Japanese plant) has forty times more
resveratrol per pound than grapes do, and it grows everywhere (and makes a great apple pie).
