Reported by Online Medical Researchers

Resveratrol and Depression

If you had taken red wine and felt good later on, at least temporarily, then you are getting one of the benefits of Resveratrol found in red wines, red grape skins and in about 70 other plant species.

Researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain have unearthed another exciting promise of Resveratrol as a mild but potent anti-depressant. The study was made in an in vitro lab culture that compared its molecular structure with those commonly used as anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs. The conclusion is that they exhibited identical characteristics.

Resveratrol-Depression Clinical Studies

Resveratrol is an enzyme inhibitor and the study confirmed that it inhibited both 5-hydroxytryptamine and monoamine oxidase that many prescribed anti-depressants today do. Researchers concluded that if Resveratrol can do the same for humans, its promised potential for improving the pharmacological treatment of depression is quite encouraging.

This potential stacks another health benefit on an already versatile penophenolic extract that is Resveratrol. It has explained away the French Paradox that accounted for the French people enjoying healthier and longer lives despite consuming a high fat diet that sent millions of Americans to suffer all sorts of cardiovascular diseases.

The red wine in their daily diet appears to have made the difference and now, an increasing number of Americans are warming up to the idea. Resveratrol’s anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties lowers the risks of contracting those deadly diseases.

Resveratrol has achieved near-cult status among health buffs. It figures as an active ingredient in many food supplements and users have reported a number of health enhancing benefits outside of the therapeutic and medicinal findings in many Resveratrol research studies worldwide.

You see most heath forums online discussing them no end, one of them being an anti-depressant. It is hoped that more scientific scrutiny be make on these user reports and more clinical trials on human subjects are made to cement Resveratrol’s claim to its various health benefits and get FDA approval as well.
