Jarrow Resveratrol Synergy 200, 200 mg Resveratrol, 60 Tab

What does Resveratrol Synergy™ 200 do?

Jarrow FORMULAS® Resveratrol Synergy™ 200 brings together resveratrol (3,4’,5-trihydroxystilbene) and powerful antioxidants resulting in a potent synergistic formula. The resveratrol in Resveratrol Synergy™ 200 (which yields approximately 90% resveratrol in the biologically active trans configuration) is combined with powerful antioxidant polyphenolic compounds (Quercetin, and extracts from Green Tea, Grape Seed, and Grape Skin), resulting in a potent synergistic formula that both strengthens the cardiovascular system and modulates genes known to enhance life span.* Each tablet contains 200 mg of Resveratrol.

This product is recommended for older individuals seeking optimum good health and longevity.

What Distinguishes this Product?

• 200 mg of Resveratrol per Tablet
• No other product is as comprehensive in antioxidants
• No other product comes close to simulating (and going beyond) the health benefits of wine

How Do the Active Ingredients Function in this Product?

Resveratrol: Enhances vascular relaxation, helps reduce LDL oxidation, improves bone strength, neutralizes pollutants while exhibiting numerous other beneficial physiological effects.*

Grape Seed Extract: Provides proanthocyanins or tannins, which are polyphenolic pigments in plants and act as powerful free radical scavengers and antioxidants.*

Grape Skin Extract: Provides anthocyanins, which are water-soluble flavonoid pigments that are powerful antioxidants. They may also benefit immunity, anti-aging, neurological health, blood sugar health and anti-bacterial action.*

Green Tea Extract: Provides catechins, especially EGCG, with are polyphenolic antioxidant plant metabolites called flavonoids. These flavonoids may be beneficial in cardiovascular, immune, and blood sugar health and may help protect skin cells from UV radiation.*

Quercetin:  Antioxidant that may promote inflammation health*

Vitamin C: An antioxidant that supports collagen and bone production.*

Resveratrol

Resveratrol: Fruit of the Vine
Although ethanol (alcohol) in small amounts can increase HDL, or “good” cholesterol, the primary heart-protective effect of wine comes from pigments in the skin of dark grapes. Red wine is particularly rich in such pigments, which are liberated during fermentation. The most scientifically supported and celebrated of the compounds is resveratrol (3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene). The compound evolved in grapes to combat disease, especially fungal attack. As evidence, treatment with fungicides dramatically reduces resveratrol production by the grape. Processing to reduce the astringent tannin content of wines, as performed commercially at large vintners, can also unfortunately reduce wine’s protective effect.

Populations that regularly consume red wine are noted for longevity and general good health. Indeed, red wine consumption and superior health is prevalent in much of Mediterranean Europe. This healthpromoting effect may help explain the “French Paradox:” the French have been observed to consume large amounts of saturated fats and yet exhibit low rates of heart disease. Along with resveratrol, red wine also contains catechins, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins. Therefore, the synergy found in Jarrow Formulas® Resveratrol Synergy™ is a natural one.

Jarrow Formulas uses especially rich sources of resveratrol, catechins, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins to create a concentrated supplement to simulate the cardiovascular protection found with red wine.* The resveratrol used has been extracted from the root of the Chinese herb Huzhang (Polygonum cuspidatum), the catechins from green tea extract, the anthocyanins from grape skin extract and the proanthocyanins from grape seed extract. Vitamin C is added to these to support collagen production. All of these compounds are powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers in their own right.*

Phytoestrogens Are Protective
Classified as a phytoestrogen, resveratrol significantly enhances vascular relaxation in response to acetylcholine in animal models.* Phytoestrogens also exhibit numerous other beneficial physiological effects.*

Resveratrol displays a neutralizing effect on environmental toxins. Environmental contaminants such as dioxin, found at high levels in cigarette smoke and in many other sources of air pollution, have been linked to osteoporosis and periodontal disease.* How this occurs is not completely understood. Yet resveratrol has proven to be an antagonist to these pollutants, suggesting that it may be protective against toxins now common in the environment.*

Cardiovascular Protection
The cardioprotective effect of wine is normally attributed to its antioxidants. Investigations have shown that all of these red wine polyphenolic antioxidants including resveratrol, catechins, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins play a role in cardioprotection.*

Many scientists have studied the mechanisms by which polyphenolic compounds protect the cardiovascular system. Such protection is attributed in part to their ability to directly scavenge peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals and to reduce oxidative stress.* These actions, among other things, protect LDL (“bad” cholesterol) oxidation, which contributes to cardiovascular disease.* Since these compounds work by different mechanisms, they may work best in combination. Resveratrol was proven more effective than flavonoids in chelating copper ions – generators of free radicals – and less effective as a free-radical scavenger than some other grape components.* Besides inhibiting LDL oxidation, exposure to wine/resveratrol appears to modulate vascular cell functions and protect against blood clotting.*

Inflammation, perhaps from bacterial attack, is yet another culprit affecting cardiovascular health. Surprisingly, anthocyanins and proanthocyanins (also known as “tannins”) can inhibit bacteria and viruses as a recent paper on the ulcer-related bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, attests.*

A Synergistic Supporting Cast
One primary benefit of resveratrol and proanthocyanins is in protecting vitamin C against premature oxidation, especially by metal ions. Therefore, vitamin C has been added along with its protectors. Broader protection comes from green tea catechins, grape skin anthocyanins and grape seed OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins).
