Abstract in brief

The study investigated how well transresveratrol from red wine is absorbed and metabolized in 25 healthy people under different dietary conditions, finding that most of the compound quickly converts to glucuronides rather than remaining free in the bloodstream.
Transresveratrol was barely detectable as a free form after drinking red wine, but its glucuronide metabolites were commonly found, indicating rapid metabolism and high variability between individuals.
The results suggest that the health benefits of red wine might come from the combined effects of various antioxidants, not just transresveratrol itself, and that factors like meal type do not significantly influence its absorption.
