Resveratrol is a protective compound produced by grapevines and other plants, in response to environmental stresses. It is a polyphenol, a natural antioxidant, which protects cells against naturally occurring substances known as free radicals.*
Resveratrol is a phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant-derived compounds that are structurally similar to estrogen. Plant estrogens are weaker forms of estrogen, yet are able to support the same physiological activity.* As a phytoestrogen it supports women’s health during and after menopause.*
It is believed that Resveratrol has a positive effect on bone and supports the health of bone-building cells (osteoblasts). Therefore, Resveratrol may help to balance the bone building process as women age.
