Where did this “Red Wine Supplement” originate from? For years, scientists have been wondering, how can the French eat the fatty foods they do and still not gain weight? This “French Paradox” as it was dubbed, led to the discovery that the substance, Resveratrol, found in the skins of grapes that make red wine, was responsible. Now we are watching the exploding popularity of this supplement. Why? This article will explore the claims of increased energy, weight loss and overall happiness.
Increased Energy… The science behind the increased energy is the activation of the SIRT1 gene. Resveratrol has been shown to activate this gene which is responsible for increasing metabolism. Increased metabolism means fat is burned faster, increasing energy. Also studies have shown exercise endurance to be increased with the taking of this supplement.
Stimulated Weight Loss… Again, the science behind this has to do with the SIRT1 gene. SIRT1 is generally stimulated to burn fat when our bodies go through an emergency food shortage. This gene is shown to be stimulated when ingesting the Red Wine Supplement, Resveratrol. So that means increased metabolic rate. The same amount of calories can be ingested, but they will be burned faster.
