Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a bioactive stilbene-type compound in turmeric. It's in other healthful foods, fruits, and vegetables too, including açaí, bilberry, blueberries, cranberries, grapes, grape leaves, lingonberry, mulberry, peanuts, pistachios, red wine, rhubarb, and yucca. Research indicates these antioxidant foods may help deter diabetes, remedy thinning hair, or even help prevent cancer.

Resveratrol has numerous anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties. It also activates longevity genes. This could make resveratrol a potent anti-aging compound that may potentially help improve your health and fight off disease. Studies indicate resveratrol:

• Protects DNA from damage that could lead to leukemia.
• Significantly reduces cancerous prostate tumors and works to inhibit colorectal tumors. The combination of curcumin and resveratrol works better than either compound alone.
