Resveratrol is a natural compound found in plants, particularly in grapes and red wine. It is often used in supplements for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Yes, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates Resveratrol as a dietary supplement ingredient, meaning it must meet certain safety and labeling requirements.
No, it is illegal for companies to sell supplements that claim to contain Resveratrol but do not actually contain the ingredient. This is considered false advertising and is a violation of FDA regulations.
You can check the supplement's label for a list of ingredients and look for Resveratrol as one of the main ingredients. You can also look for a "USP Verified" or "NSF Certified" seal on the label, which indicates that the supplement has been tested for quality and accuracy.
While Resveratrol is generally considered safe, there is limited research on its long-term effects. It may also interact with certain medications, so it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking Resveratrol supplements.
