Description: Uhm, no I meant Resveratrol! From Wikipedia: Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced naturally by several plants in response to injury or when the plant is under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Sources of resveratrol in food include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, and senna. Although it is used as a dietary supplement, there is no clear evidence that consuming resveratrol affects life expectancy or human health.
