Resveratrol and Headaches

Resveratrol is the subject of research studies by university and pharmaceutical labs around the world to confirm its versatility in promoting health and long life. The substance is commonly found in red wines which figure in the French Paradox accounting for the healthier and longer lives of French people despite consuming all the high fat diets that had caused much of the cardiovascular problems that faced Americans.

Apart from its anti-aging, antioxidative and anti-cancer promises, those same research studies are unraveling various other health benefit promises that have made Resveratrol the darling among food supplement makers and the wonder drug of the 21st century.

Is Resveratrol a Pain-Reliever?

One such promise involves its potential as a pain-reliever. There are not that many research studies in this area as most are concerned in verifying its preventive and curative properties in treating the more serious and life-threatening diseases. Its anti-carcinogenic properties on certain cancer types seem universally confirmed in various studies, among others. But pain relief in confined to a few and limited to certain types of disease related pain.

Recent studies on lab rats conducted by the Pharmacology Division of the University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in India concluded that Resveratrol and other polyphenols (antioxidants) have pain-reliving potential for treating diabetic neuropathic pain. But in general, tests results are few to have any confidence of its pain-relieving properties.

Side Effects of Resveratrol

On the other hand, reports about Resveratrol’s side effects at high to super-high concentrations exceeding 500 mg per day have reached online health communities like numbing of fingers, anxiety attacks, tendonitis and even headaches, the last one being the more common.

Virtually all the over-the-counter supplements carry less than 300 mg of Resveratrol and a few exceed this concentration. A few glasses of red wine a day with 3-5 being considered typical, exhibit little of these side effects, though red wines in general trigger migraine headaches in many people who are already known migraine sufferers. But Resveratrol can’t be faulted as it’s just one of the many compounds found in red wines.
