Resveratrol

Resveratrol and Migraines

There has never been a chemical substance that has sparked frenzied and widespread media attention as the lowly Resveratrol found in red wines, grape skins, peanuts, berries and about 70 other plant species.

Starting out as the answer to the French Paradox that explained away the healthier and longer lives of the French people despite consuming the same levels of high cholesterol diet as Americans enjoy, all the way to the promised health-promoting and medicinal properties revealed in countless researches by the academe and pharmaceutical businesses, Resveratrol has achieved iconic celebrity status as the wonder drug of the 21st century.

Side Effects of Resveratrol

With all the supplements containing Resveratrol, there have been little to no reports of unwanted side effects triggered with regular low-to-medium dose consumption. But there have been cases of headaches, numbing of fingers, anxiety attacks and tendonitis in extreme high dosage use typically above 500 mg per day. Almost all supplements have lower dosage concentrations of Resveratrol and even a few glasses of red wine a days don’t go beyond 300 mg per day. Reports of tendon joint pain have been reported even with supplements containing 300 mg but taken more than once per day.

Is Resveratrol a Pain-Reliever?

It is interesting to note that recent studies actually show that Resveratrol has pain relieving properties when administered to lab rats as published in the Journal “Pain”. A study conducted by the Pharmacology Division of the University Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in India concluded that polyphenols (antioxidants) like Resveratrol has the potential of treating diabetic neuropathic pain.

But there has yet to be a research to check its link with migraine headaches, whether as a side effect or as target for pain relief. Wines have been known to trigger migraine headaches in people who already suffer from it. Unfortunately little is known on the cause of this trigger in red wines and Resveratrol can’t assume being the culprit here as it is just one of the chemicals found in red wines.
