Resveratrol

Understanding that most people will never stay out of the sun or avoid the beach, scientists are always looking for new methods to reduce the risks of developing skin cancer, especially skin damage from regular exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially its UVB element. In a recent study by researchers from the University [...]

Recent laboratory resveratrol research uncovered the potential of this molecule in helping to inhibit the development of osteoporosis without the health side effects. The study demonstrated that this molecular compound is a phytoestrogen – it binds to and turns on estrogen receptors – so the researchers deduced that resveratrol may have the potential in effecting [...]

Research has shown that resveratrol can slow the growth of prostate tumors, which ultimately lead to prostate cancer, in lab mice. Researchers from the University of Alabama did a study with mice, bred to develop prostrate tumors, and fed them a diet which included a small dose of resveratrol. There was also a control group [...]

In yet another profoundly significant resveratrol study by researchers from the University of Nebraska, the scientists discovered that resveratrol inhibits estrogen from causing breast cancer in test-tube experiments. Dr Rogan and her collegues discovered that resveratrol decreases the production of estrogen into dangerous estrogen metabolites, which are toxic compounds that react with the DNA in [...]
