How does resveratrol work?

Resveratrol works by protecting the DNA of a cell and interrupting the aging or mutation processes. It is a powerful antioxidant that was used by the plant to protect itself for threats such as fungal infections. The antioxidant effect works in humans as well. It can be consumed in its natural food form in red grapes, blueberries, and other foods. The highest concentration is found in Japanese knotweed. It can also be taken as a supplement which can be found in pill, liquid, and patch forms.
