Abstract in brief

  • The clinical trial found that long-term resveratrol (RSV) supplementation did not improve inflammation markers, glucose metabolism, blood pressure, or body composition in middle-aged men with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).
  • Resveratrol treatment, including high-dose (150 mg), actually increased total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and fructosamine levels, indicating potential adverse effects on lipid and glucose markers.
  • Overall, the study concluded that resveratrol has no beneficial effects on MetS components and may potentially worsen certain lipid and glycemic parameters.

@HOM3OSTASIS Studies showing resveratrol increases cholesterol and stresses the cell. This is not a supplement people who already are dealing with inflammation (like covid) should be taking. https://t.co/grebfih1j4 https://t.co/0RtOOnDcNp

@davidasinclair What about these studies: https://t.co/6MqTiru9w9 or https://t.co/z7ca45WhNc and https://t.co/JySuVXBiMu . Ok, the one is from 2013 and may be outdate. But one question remains: Do the positiv aspects of Resveratrol still outweigh the side effects and justify a supplementation?
