Prairie Naturals Resveratrol Rx combines two all-natural plant sources of resveratrol - BioVin Advanced French Red Wine Extract and Japanese Knotweed Extract with a third potent polyphenolic antioxidant and anti-aging phytochemical - green tea extract. Acting together, this high potency, synergistic formulation provides 265 mg of trans-resveratrol and polyphenol complex per daily dose (2 V-caps), ensuring the strongest foundation for healthy aging and cardiovascular health. Trans-resveratrol may be a key component of the famous "French Paradox"; each Resveratrol Rx capsule contains 75 mg of this potent form of resveratrol.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic nutrient found in common foods such as red wine, grapes, peanuts and some berries, including blueberries, bilberries and cranberries.

Resveratrol is well absorbed orally, but due to very rapid metabolism and elimination, it has a low bioavailability, compromising its medicinal properties to some extent. It naturally occurs in both a cis and trans from, although most of the recorded health benefits seem to be based on the trans form.

Animal studies on Resveratrol showed dramatic results for reducing the incidence of cancer, by acting directly on cancer cells, causing death. This is known as "apoptosis". These studies showed that the experimental subjects had far more cancer cell death than those subjects in control groups. These same studies also showed that Resveratrol inhibits proliferation of cancer cells, as well as tumour angiogenesis (the formation of new blood cells, literally feeding a tumour). The best results in terms of cancer treatment, seem to be with cancers in which the Resveratrol can come into direct contact. For this reason it may be particularly efficacious for gastrointestinal cancers, as well as skin cancers (if applied topically).
