I believe Resveratrol has a good components to fight cancer and recent study tells that it also a drug for preventing Alzheimer disease what else is the neurodegeneration disease which is a fatal case. If there’s a bad thing about this Resveratrol, why there is a lot of product promoting resveratrol, their best component to fight cancer, heart disease, anti-oxidant and anti-stress?

I know of a human trial with hyper dosages by GSK- Sirtris that was recently halted, apparently due to high liver toxicity levels caused by those dosages. However, I believe it was conducted on cancer patients.

I beg to differ. Among the labs using Transmax are:
University of Ferrara Thallab, Yasheva University Medical Center Lab, University of Northumbria Cognitive Sciences Lab, Ottawa Hospital (part of Health Canada) research lab. I can list another 20 if you like. Please do not be so anxious to accuse someone of spam without first ascertaining the truth.

Agreed about the liberties taken by the journalist.

One point with you…

No lab uses TransMax. This makes your comment SPAM.

Agreed, I’ve reread the Pfizer paper and you can see the summary in Figure 8. They did not study Resveratrol in vivo with mice.

The author needs to read the primary literature, or find someone who can.

Human trials are only underway but there are some, mostly about resveratrol and cancer, see
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=resv...
and the references in the Wikipedia article

(That is, in five years when they have the answer about the effectiveness of resveratrol.)

Dang. We have conflicting studies, both from eminent sources, both sources having at least an indirect interest in the outcome of the study.
We also have a finding that the SIRT2 is not the mechanism of operation of resveratrol, which may or may not mean that it does not prevent aging, or perhaps in a different way than caloric restriction.
But I believe it is still worth taking for now. Resveratrol costs all of about $20 per month to take if bought at a pharmacy and, being made from rice husks or grape skins, no adverse side effects have been shown or seem likely. So in five years I will either be $1,000 poorer or several years younger than I would have been otherwise.

Sitris tested 2.5 grams of SRT 501 on diabetics, and the results looked promising two years ago. SRT 501 wasn't a compound tested by Pfizer, but it is a resveratrol blend and believed to be 3 -4 times more potent than resveratrol alone.

A liver/colon cancer trial at Sirtris has ended or is about to end where 10 patients received 5 grams of SRT 501 periodically. (A mouse liver cancer study showed those taking regular resveratrol did not have the cancer spread in 70% as opposed to 5% in the non-reesveratrol control group.

It will be interesting to see the latest cancer results as well as efficacy of SRT 2041. This isn't over yet.

I've read that the fat mice did lived longer with resveratrol compare with control group that didn't. It was the nother studies with regular healthy non fat mice that resveratrol didn't show any significate longer live but was heart healthier. As it turns out later finding that all those nonfat mice from the studies had died from retrovirus which reveratrol has no benefit for. You would think that would be listed as the causes of dealth and not age related melabolic causes of dealth.
