Later, as more researchers became fascinated by this "paradox," it was determined that the country's love of wine—red wine, in particular—was the reason behind the observations. But could wine really be healthful? Could it really allow the French to enjoy their croissants, while helping to maintain good heart health at the same time? Further research showed that yes, wine could, in fact, provide a certain level of dietary protection. The seeds of grapes contain antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and proanthocyanidins, which became the focus of "French Paradox" investigations. Then, things got really interesting. Just as the scientific community was embracing the overwhelming evidence showing that grape seed polyphenols and proanthocyanidins did indeed nourish and protect the heart and other important aspects of health, a new agent was discovered. Resveratrol was identified not in the seed but in the skin of the grape, opening up a whole new avenue for scientific inquiry. Now we have the new report that's swept the media from coast to coast— a Harvard scientist saying resveratrol is the most promising substance ever found to protect our health from the results of poor dietary and lifestyle habits. You can read an abstract of the study at the online home of the journal Nature at www.nature.com. At Swanson we have a variety of grape-derived resveratrol supplements from which to choose. However, grapes do not hold an exclusive over this exciting nutrient, and in fact, significant and powerful amounts of resveratrol are also found throughout the plant kingdom such as the Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum). Whichever source you choose, be assured that Swanson products are independently tested for purity and potency, and are the best quality supplements available for the lowest price possible. It's our mission and our guarantee to you. |
