For many years scientists have pondered the seeming paradox that the French population consumes a diet high in fats yet has relatively low levels of cardiovascular disease. The answer in part appears to be related to the relatively high consumption of red wine. Now scientists have identified a compound in red wine and other plants that may account for the positive impact on health.
The compound is called resveratrol. Research is still in the early stages but resveratrol is showing great promise for positively impacting age-related health conditions. Clinical trials are currently underway in areas such as
diabetes management and
cardiovascular disease.
Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging found that resveratrol in high doses let mice eat a high fat diet yet avoid health problems commonly associated with obesity. The liver and other systems of these obese mice remained healthy and fat-related deaths dropped 31% for mice fed resveratrol.
Another study showed less weight gain in mice fed resveratrol, greater physical endurance, and better insulin sensitivity. Resveratrol also demonstrated the ability to increase life span in yeast, mice, and certain fish.
Resveratrol is a powerful
antioxidant. One scientist referred to it as "one of the best free radical scavengers." This may account for its beneficial effects. Free radicals are produced naturally by the body and can damage healthy cells. In addition to the antioxidant properties of resveratrol, our formula includes
red wine extract and
grape seed extract which provide polyphenols. Polyphenols are believed to also have antioxidant effects which may positively impact cardiovascular health.

All Vitabase brand products are manufactured within the USA. This is important for quality because the FDA inspects our manufacturing facilities regularly. In other countries, governmental agencies may not necessarily exercise much control over manufacturing processes.
We source our ingredients from around the world. This is important because the best available ingredients are not necessarily made in the United States. For example, we get our liquid herbal extract ingredients from Europe because they are absolutely the best on the market.
