BUMP!Depends on how you define “better.”
Some manufactures are putting resveratrol in chocolate now.
Will blueberries and dark red cherries do as well?
I like some liquid resveratrol. Very tasty.
Well, the article suggests that resveratrol has been found to be beneficial in small amounts, and does not provide any evidence that it is harmful, except when “very high doses” are fed to mice—far higher than any products currently on the market. I would suspect ridiculously high. Anything can be bad for you if taken in hugely excessive amounts.
I’m not competent to give any medical advice, but using the supplement in moderation, if you don’t regularlty drink red wine, seems to make sense. I personally take one capsule a day, containing 37 mg of resveratrol plus grape seed and red wine extracts. Maybe it’s a mistake, but I think I’ll continue unless there is evidence to the contrary.
I get the stuff from VitaCost online, and it’s only $15 for 120 capsules, about a four months’ supply. I don’t mean to recommend this to anyone else. Everyone should do their own due diligence and/or consult their doctor.
BUMP!

The leading researchers on resveratrol are taking it themselves (and at least one has said he has his elderly mother on it too). That's good enough for me.
I ordered resveratrol and some other home remedies after reading this article about herbal and natural defense against flu. Note the last paragraph.

Pills are not better. You cannot properly duplicate in synthesized elements the delivery mechanisms inherent in natural substances. The combination of enzymes and amino acids in red wine aid in proper absorption of resveratrol. the same goes for Acai and blueberries, among others.
