Polyresveratrol SR - Thorne

PolyResveratrol SR contains trans-resveratrol plus plant extracts and pterostilbene, which enhance the metabolic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective and healthy aging properties of trans-resveratrol.

Trans-resveratrol, a flavonoid-like molecule found in grapes, blueberries, and other plants, mimics the healthy aging effect of calorie restriction. A significant decrease in the harmful effects of a high-fat, high-calorie diet was observed in mice, likely due to increased fat metabolism through upregulation of the SIRT-1 enzyme, which acts as a cellular switch, increasing the number of mitochondria and supporting their function. SIRT-1 enzymes also have a positive impact on blood glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cell survival. Thorne's PolyResveratrol-SR contains trans-resveratrol—along with synergistic plant extracts and a resveratrol metabolite—that together optimize the metabolism and utilization of trans-resveratrol and enhance its numerous metabolic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, and healthy aging properties. *In addition to trans-resveratrol, the other components of PolyResveratrol-SR include:- Pterostilbene: A naturally occurring methylated metabolite of resveratrol. Pterostilbene exhibits optimal absorption and is not as easily broken down in the liver. Animal and in vitro studies indicate that while pterostilbene has similar healthy aging effects to resveratrol, it reaches higher blood levels and is longer lasting in the body. - Curcumin Phytosome, Green Tea Phytosome, and Quercetin Phytosome: Research shows that quercetin slows the breakdown of resveratrol in the body, acts as a potent antioxidant, and is synergistic with the activities of resveratrol. Green Tea Phytosome has a positive effect on fat metabolism, promotes optimal liver detoxification, and is very efficiently absorbed. * Curcumin phytosome is significantly better absorbed than standardized curcumin extracts, and studies have found that it supports the body's normal inflammatory response by balancing cytokines and demonstrates synergistic healthy aging activity with resveratrol.
