Resveratrol is a super powerful antioxidant and polyphenol found in the skin of red wine grapes that has been shown to reduce/slow certain aspects of aging, specifically cardiovascular aging.
Then eat the grapes and skip the middle man.
[EDIT: Both we and the grapes have evolved together for a very long time to be mutually beneficial. Do we really need a "product" to replace the grapes? Do we really need 10,000 grapes worth of nutrients? Can we really "hack" nature without consequences? Just asking.]
Each bottle of Preventiv has a case of wine's worth of Resveratrol. Eating grapes on your own won't cut it... unless you can find the resources and means to devour 10,000 grapes?
I remember reading about Resveratrol a while back. It seems to activate the same pathways involved in starvation and is yet another method of extending a nematodes life span. However, I also remember reading that its bio-availability is not high and it is not that stable.
If you like the taste fine, but it seems like another POM-Wonderful to me.
Smart idea. With the amount of money people spend on so-called "vitamin water", your product seems like a winner. I looked for resveratrol a few years ago and could only find it mail order from some shady-seeming sources.
So, can we please have the link to the peer-reviewed paper that proves beyond statistical doubt that resveratrol really has this effect on humans ?
There are plenty of studies on insects and mice, and those are usually in concert with very high fat diets (in case of the mice). The effect on a human with an already healthy lifestyle would be the most interesting case.

I say, have a cup of tea instead.
Capsules would seem the cheapest if you believe the claims.

P.S. I buy POM-Wonderful. It is delicious.
What's your distribution model?

Harvard Medical School has even that Resveratrol “could arguably be the biggest medical discovery since antibiotics.”
Yeah, that pretty much says it all, doesn't it.
