Resveratrol on 60 Minutes

Celleration on 60 Minutes?nnNo not exactly, but close.nnThe research on the substance “Resveratrol” is exciting indeed. Now it has gotten the attention of the show 60 Minutes. It has been shown to optimize the aging process, extend healthy life, and be preventative for a variety of serious chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and alzheimers. Further, it is shown to enhance exercise performance, support healthy metabolism and support weight balancing. The research has all been done on the naturally occurring substance found in abundance in the skin of the French red wine grape.nnThis may explain the French Paradox.nnBut before you try to drink your way to the promises of Resveratrol, realize that the number of bottles of French red wine per day needed to concentrate enough Resveratrol in order to achieve the promise of the research is far too great to consume – even for the greatest of wine enthusiasts. No one should drink 50 plus bottles of wine per day, no one!nnA substance that occurs in nature can not be patented, so the drug company Glaxo Smith Kline is working on a synthetic version of Resveratrol, because the real thing is so exciting and the exclusive rights to the real thing can not be owned and controlled. Researchers expect that a drug company will develop and sell a drug that contains the synthetic version of Resveratrol and make it available to the public, within our life time.nnWhat is even better is that the real thing is available now as a naturally occurring substance and in the form of a nutritional supplement so the cost is low and no prescription is necessary. nnThe challenge lies within the quality, form and dosage of Resveratrol. The research and therefore “the promise of Resveratrol” is dependent upon use of the “right stuff.” Unfortunately many forms of Resveratrol sold on the market are so close and yet so far away. They do not work and they gain bad press. Care must be taken to obtain the correct form (trans-resveratrol) in a meaningful higher dose or it simply does not deliver.nnIf you are currently using Celleration from my practice, you have the “right stuff.” As many of you know I worked to obtain superior raw materials for this product for an extended period of time. It was frustrating to wait for such a great product because the promise is so exciting - but worth it to be able to use and share a product that delivers on the promise.nnCheers to a long and healthy life!nnTo watch the 60 Minutes clip, simply click on the link below:nnhttp://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4752354n
