This item supports, tracks, or is required for the following health goals:
Suppresses inflammatory cytokines.
Resveratrol inhibits the production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha. It is particularly effective at reducing neuroinflammation (inflammation in the brain) and protecting the endothelial lining of blood vessels.
It also mimics the effects of calorie restriction by activating Sirt1, a gene that repairs DNA and suppresses the NF-kB inflammatory pathway. This dual-action makes it a potent tool for slowing "inflammaging."
