Resveratrol is a chemical compound found in red grapes and products made from these grapes, such as wine and juice. It is also found in other plants, including peanuts and berries. Resveratrol is most commonly used for high cholesterol, cancer, heart disease, and many other conditions, but there is no strong evidence to support its effectiveness for any use. Some of the positive and negative aspects of resveratrol are:
Positive:
- Resveratrol might have many effects in the body, including expanding blood vessels and reducing blood clotting. It may also decrease pain and swelling, reduce levels of sugar in the blood, and help the body fight against disease.
- Taking resveratrol by mouth seems to increase weight loss in overweight and obese adults.
- Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Negative:
- Resveratrol might slow blood clotting and increase the risk of bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.
- Resveratrol might act like estrogen, so people with hormone-sensitive conditions such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids should avoid using it.
- Resveratrol might change how quickly the liver breaks down certain medications, which could change the effects and side effects of these medications.
