Resveratrol as a Baldness Cure

Supplements for hair loss

» “I take Resveratrol as part of my protocol, but you need to take it with
» Quercetin for it to be effective. A few Resv supplements are correctly
» formulated.”
»
» Where did you get this information?

I would have to dig back thru my research, but it stems from the fact that Resv is not bioavailable and into why it is effective in red wine.

I don’t have time to look right now, but suggest you google it if interested.

Start with this one.

Resveratrol Doesn’t Make It
by Roger Mason

Surely you’ve seen the ads for the new œmiracle supplement resveratrol and the many claims made for it. The sellers tell you it protects against cancer and heart disease, and is a powerful antioxidant. Funny, the scientific literature just doesn’t reflect all this enthusiasm.

Resveratrol (3,4,5 trihydroxy stilbene) is an extract of grape SKINS, and is also found in smaller amounts in mulberries and peanuts. You can’t even get any from drinking red grape juice. Grape SEED extract has value however. Go ahead and do a PubMed search (just hit any search engine for œPubMed) yourself to see. Nothing but some cell culture studies; not even any good rat studies much less humans. If this had any value there would be many animal studies and definitely some human studies.

It isn’t like we just discovered grapes yesterday. Cell culture studies just don’t make it folks. Doesn’t this kind of smell like a promotion of the wine and grape juice manufacturers like what is being done with useless lycopene? Grape skins are fed to pigs or used as fertilizer. What a great idea to sell it to people at exorbitant prices. You can only get this from drinking a lot of red wine (which isn’t a great health practice) or eating a lot of highly allergenic peanuts. This is an exogenous supplement and, at best, would only be good for about six months- that is if it had any real value in the first place.

Folks, there are no Magic Supplements. Diet and lifestyle are the key to good health and long life. There are no shortcuts here. You can’t buy good health. Buffet, Trump, Gates, Soros and the rest of the billionaires are overweight and unhealthy.

Yes, there are proven supplements to make you healthier and live longer, but only if you EAT RIGHT and live a healthy lifestyle. Beta glucan, beta-sitosterol, CoQ10, lipoic acid, NAC, PS (phosphatidyl serine), ALC (acetyl-L-carnitine), vitamins D and E, All Your Minerals, acidophilus, flax oil, FOS, L-glutamine, glucosamine, quercitin, soy isoflavones, and DIM are all scientifically proven endogenous supplements with strong international published science behind them.

Resveratrol is Rubbish
by Roger Mason (www.youngagain.com)

Young Again Nutrients in TX (totally unrelated to us and who we sued into bankruptcy for using our name Young Again), says this is a Miracle Supplement. Resveratrol Cuts Risk of Prostate Cancer Up to 60%, and Resveratrol Helps Prevent Blood Clots and Strokes, and Resveratrol Attacks Cancer Cells (the FDA is going to love that one), and Dramatically Increases Life Span, and Resveratrol Reduces Risk of Coronary Disease, and One Way to Stop the Flu. It would be great if any of this was true, but it isn’t. Moron Dr. David Williams sells and promotes this junk, too and praises its virtues to the sky in his stupid newsletter as do many other natural health “experts.”

Let’s take the very best study of all from Italy where clinicians gave resveratrol to mice after infecting them with a deadly flu virus. If you actually go the the Journal of Infectious Diseases, vol. 191, 2005 you see the real facts. The poor mice were INJECTED with huge overdoses of resveratrol. We don’t know what terrible side effects they got from this chemical assault. This would mean a 170 pound man would have to inject 170 mg of pharmaceutical resveratrol (3,4,5 trihydroxy stilbene) to get the same effects. If this is 10% biologically available when taken orally it would mean you would have to eat 1,700 mg.

Findings from published scientific literature indicates that resveratrol may be the most effective plant extract for maintaining optimal health. There is no science to indicate that at all. None, nada, zero, nothing. Grape SEED extract does, in fact, have proven value.

Folks, there are only useless cell cultures and a few equally useless mouse studies on this scam. Resveratrol has been around for many years and is hardly new. If resveratrol had any real value at all we would have had published human studies years ago instead of these ridiculous cell cultures and overdosed injected mice. The wine manufacturers were using grape skins for pig feed and fertilizer when they figured out they could sell it as a Magic Supplement at high prices to innocent people trying to improve their health naturally.

Resveratrol is exogenous (doesn’t exist in our bodies or common food) anyway so it would only be effective for about six months if it did work- and it doesn’t. Resveratrol basically only exists in peanuts, mulberries and grape skins. You don’t even get any by drinking grape juice.

how much does it cost to get into the roger mason cult, do they charge extra for koolaide

» “Scientists believe that resveratrol may be an extraordinarily effective
» chemopreventive and anticarcinogenic agent, based on laboratory and animal
» studies. But resveratrol poses an extraordinary problem: although it’s well
» absorbed (at least 70%) by the gut, its bioavailability is almost
» zero, owing to its rapid and extensive metabolism to two types of
» chemical derivatives: sulfates and glucuronides.1-4 It appears that most
» of the conversion of resveratrol to these metabolites occurs in the gut
» (the metabolites are readily absorbed into the bloodstream, however), and
» the process is completed by the liver within about half an hour. The
» result is that unmetabolized resveratrol is virtually undetectable in the
» blood.”
»
» Does quercetin help with the bioavailability of resveratrol?

Yes. Quercetin and Lecithin improve bioavailability…

I don’t know the site, but the above text is very bogus.

Take the last sentence; Res is exogenous…

So this makes it useless. Hello! The definition of a vitamin is that it is something that the body has to ingest; and insufficient vitamins can be very harmful as we all know.

There is a lot of scientific research on Resveratrol. Are the results conclusive? No. Are there questions about bioavailability? Yes. Should we just assume it is a scam? Why would we?

Admittedly, Roger Mason can be direct and downright rude in his assessment of various supplements on the market today. And I don’t always agree with his opinion or approach. But I’d also like to think that his is a sincere attempt to find the truth and inform people of it.

I’d like to think so.
