The recent evidence that resveratrol lengthens the lifespan of certain living organisms has brought new hopes and promises about human life. No wonder there is continued hustle today as manifested in the explosion of researches and clinical trials aiming to further the developments of the antioxidant and its related components that may be useful not only in warding off major diseases such as cancer but extending our lives.

History

Resveratrol has been a reputed antioxidant in the past few years. It was first isolated by M. Takaoka from the perennial herb Veratrum album in 1939 to understand its medicinal properties. Its use can be traced back to the ancient times when it was applied as an oral emetic to induce vomiting of harmful substances ingested. The last years of the 19th century played host to a number of in vitro and in vivo researches focused on yielding anti-cancer evidence, and, in 1997, Jang reported the first incidence of clear prevention of carcinogen with topical applications of resveratrol in mice inoculated with melanoma cells. In vitro resveratrol exhibits evident life extension effects in its interactions with cancerous cells of breast, skin, gastric, colon, prostate, and pancreas.

Free Radicals

The advent of radical chemistry brought concerns about the life threatening effects of excessive amounts of free radicals in the body. The depositions of iron in the body brings about a number of aging-related illnesses, including the degeneration of the functional pumping of the actual heart muscle, the replacement of liver tissues with scarred tissues and abnormal nodules, the unmitigated accumulation of iron in joints, the failure of islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, among others, all of which are believed to be caused by free radicals. Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that play a direct role in warding off pathogens and other harmful microorganism, but are equally harmful in large amounts as they ignite a chain reaction that renders cells damaged and unable to assume their functions.

Vitamins known for their antioxidant activities such as A, C, and E catapulted into mainstream awareness the significance of antioxidants to the well being of living organisms and their important role in the biochemistry of the human body. With that, there have been subsequent studies in the past decades in pursuit of identifying useful antioxidants and producing them. Come into the picture polyphenols like resveratrol, which now is incorporated in a wide array of dietary supplements and food products.

Life Extension

Not only does resveratrol play a role as an antioxidant, which in and of itself contribute to living a healthy, long life, but it is also directly involved in prolonging the lives of living organisms such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. These effects on life extension are evident, but how they work is up to now being investigated. The goal of related studies lately is to be able to apply these life-extending benefits to human beings.

Always look to your local or internet vitamin store for quality resveratrol supplements to help fight free radical damage. Don�t forget to buy only name brands for quality and purity.
