There's no evidence that taking Resveratrol has any benefit for your health. It's a compound that is usually find in the skin of grapes and some berries. As a MD, I would recommend eating the fruits to obtain the real benefits, that way you'll get all the vitamins, minerals, fiber and even the resverastrol. As always eating real food (fruits, vegetables, lean meats, beans, etc) is what's proven to help reduce cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
