How much resveratrol is the right amount? Is there a “perfect” dose that works best? And if there is…..who sells it? In this article we are going to take a quick and insightful look at resveratrol dosage questions, and see if we can’t dispel some of the myth and misinformation that’s out there regarding how MUCH is enough!

Okay….but I’ve heard that 50 MG per serving is perfect in one article….and then 150MG is “right” in the next. Help!?! Which one is right?

The truth? No one really knows! It’s like asking “how much exercise is enough?” Anything that is good for you does NOT necessarily have an “optimum” amount…and even if it does, what that is will often be debated, and very rarely resolved. What we CAN quantify, from the standpoint of resveratrol dosage is this: what works best in the lab from the surveys and studies that have been completed?

And in the animal tests done, what have we learned that can be extrapolated out to human beings? (usually, this is calculated as a function of body weight)

The Real Truth is This…..

Resveratrol research was pretty much “inspired” by the French Paradox phenomena, where European cultures tended to have FAR lower body mass index readings (they were thinner!) even though they eat diets rich in saturated fats and dense in calories. The premise was that the resveratrol found in the wine they drink (red wine) reversed, or at least curbed the bodies ability to create fat, and coronary disease. And the GOOD news is this: Just about every resveratrol supplement on the market right now, has EXPONENTIALLY higher levels of this powerful anti-oxidant than the red wine the French drink. In other words….a 50mg supplement, or a 150mg serving are BOTH going to give you more than enough resveratrol to get great benefits, and if it IS proven to be the fountain of youth, you are certainly getting more than enough to drink from it for a mighty long time to come!
