The ‘corporate’ researchers published their study in January in the Journal of Biological Chemistry that questioned previous studies that suggests resveratrol may enhance an enzyme that slows the aging process.

These researchers suggested that resveratrol is not a direct activator of the sirtuin gene or any other biochemical pathway – as if this is simply a linear straightforward process.

The research in the this field seems to be overwelming in favor of resveratrol being beneficial in may aspects for maintaining good health. This could just be another instance of corporate “bad mouthing” and results oriented scientific study that can be easily skewed to show a specific result.

As a consequence of the negative press, it has turned into a bit of a buzz kill for the legitimate producers of resveratrol supplements, that offer “pay for” products that often have solid research and proprietary formula behind their offerings. Sales have taken a drop for many of these resveratrol companies that have informative websites with clear contact details and return policies – not just a hyped up sales page with a lot of fine print.

The point to observe is that sharlatans and unethical opportunists always jump on the bandwagon to capture media driven interest initially to make short term profits. It emphasizes that a true interest and market for real products, that are manufactured under quality controlled conditions and even backed by independent labs and doctors/researchers, exists and will continue to thrive in the future.

Because of the inertia created by the voluminous research that is so compelling, scientists from a plethora of backgrounds are researching the attributes of this multi-faceted molecule and its health benefits. Consumers have been given quite a bit to doubt lately, because of the firestorm and backlash against unscrupulous marketers, but the ongoing studies and results of the efficacious properties that seem to be present in resveratrol should give any person, seriously interested in longevity and overall health, pause.

There is certainly more evidence pointing to resveratrol being a naturally beneficial molecule across a diverse landscape of human ailments, than skeptical criticisms warning people to be conservative or ask their physician? Many doctors are not even aware of resveratrol still, and if you haven’t noticed, many are not the healthiest creatures on the planet either! You should trust your own instincts and do your own reading about the potential benefits and make your own decision to try a legitimate resveratrol product.

If in doubt, buy a bottle or package from an established website that sells their own brand or other reputable brands. Remember – you get what you pay for …. so the free trials with the $89/recurring billing is definitely going to be more expensive and more aggravating judging from the comments left on this blog and others recently.
