The American Chemical Society released a study revealing bountiful health benefits associated with resveratrol, a compound found naturally in red wine. In order to get the same amount of resveratrol in red wine as you would in Isotonix® Resveratrol, the average person would need to consume three bottles of wine a day. The ingredient Isotonix Resveratrol uses in its supplements is Resveravine®, which is a more concentrated form of resveratrol, and it ensures that the body reaps the benefits of resveratrol without the ill effects from three bottles of wine.

Studies of numerous species have shown that a reduction in calories has been linked to a longer lifespan. The SIRT-1 gene activates a critical component of calorie restriction in mammals and promotes fat metabolization. Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School published a study in the May edition of Cell Metabolism found that resveratrol may also help with healthy cell function throughout the aging process. Dr. Sinclair found resveratrol works by acting on the SIRT1 gene, a gene that is believed to control the function and longevity of cells. There is evidence that resveratrol may be a calorie restriction mimetic, a compound that mimics the effects of calorie restriction by targeting metabolic and stress response pathways affected by calorie restriction, but without restricting caloric intake, which may be helpful in promoting a longer lifespan. By promoting healthy SIRT-1 activity, resveratrol promotes healthy mitochondrial function and supports energy expenditure.
