THANKS!!!
1) It’s a very good antioxidant. In general, those help to protect all the cells in your body from damage caused by free radicals.
2) Resveratrol is most commonly thought of as being in wine, but some herbs have higher quantities of it and are cheaper (so they are more commonly used in supplement/pill form).
3) Cooking with it can completely destroy the nutritional integrity of it… freezing it long-term can damage the integrity, but not as much. It’s usually best to store it in a cool, dry place.
4) Dosage sizes in supplements have a huge range… I’ve seen everything from 5 mg to 100 mg.
5) It’s not a required nutrient, so there wouldn’t be a "deficiency" per se.
6) That’s something only a doctor could say exactly what it can cure for you, but people have used antioxidants to help everything from the common cold to cancer.
7) Yes, Resveratrol is a very popular product. It’s a very high potency and high quality antioxidant.
I hope I helped!
