Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol of the stilbene family produced by plants in response to environmental stress, which is found in different fruits (red grape, berries, peanuts…) and in plant-based foods, in particular in red wine. It was initially shown to exhibit anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative effects in various cell systems, with potential applications in cancer and cardiovascular diseases and could provide resistance to obesity, and improve muscular performance.
