There is new research that the use of resveratrol, commonly found in red wine in small amounts, can help lessen menopausal symptoms. But please note that a dosage of 300 mg of trans-resveratrol supplement, is the equivalent to consuming about 50 bottles of red wine. Clearly supplements are a much better option for anyone. My patients frequently take significant amounts of resveratrol supplement along with additional grape seed extract daily. Why? Well the fact is that most of us do not have sufficient dietary antioxidant intake on a daily basis. This is motivation enough, as antioxidant protection is essential to protect the 75 trillion cells that comprise your body. The iron you eat, the healthy oils like fish oil or flaxseed oil you use, and even the air you breath, all burden the body with increased free radical production potential. Yet now, we have a new study suggesting the application of resveratrol to lessen hot flashes, night sweats and other miseries that plague women going through peri-menopause and menopause. I also make equal recommendations for daily intake of resveratrol for my male patients too due to its antioxidant properties and also ability to induce the Sirt-1 guardian gene. Resveratrol is a powerful tool to support wellness pursuits. Plus, it also provides an extra bonus for some women that are looking to smooth out the hormonal transition associated with menopause.
