Reported by Online Medical Researchers

Resveratrol

Resveratrol and Tendonitis

Resveratrol’s promised health benefits have been well-documented in countless researches around the world, both from the academe and from pharmaceutical companies. There’s little doubt that the wonder substance found in red wines, grapes, berries and in about 70 other plant species have health-preserving and therapeutic benefits against virtually all the deadly diseases like cancer, heart and circulatory ailments.

But studies are few about the right doses on humans as most of these researches where conducted on lab rats and other animal, rarely on human patients.

Some doses of Resveratrol, though, have proven to be adequate like 1565 mg/kg to successfully overcome the life-threatening effects of high fat/cholesterol diet. But until lately, there’s no study indicating a low dose threshold for its calorie restricting effects to work.

Researchers at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital and Lifegen Technologies in Wisconsin have revealed that a mere 343 mg per day is enough to produce gene activation that mimic a calorie restricted diet. Anything in excess of 500 mg increases the risk of side effects that have yet to be confirmed.

High Dosage Can Cause Problems

A leading brand of Resveratrol supplement Longevinex cautions that some users taking mega-doses of Resveratrol exceeding 500 mg have start experiencing side effects like anemia, Achilles heel tendonitis, numbness of fingers and anxiety reactions. This can be traced to some studies made by Longevinex that Resveratrol is a copper chelator and that inordinate chelation (removal) impairs copper presence that is needed for collagen formation as well as nerve regeneration.

Many diet supplement brands contain Resveratrol with concentrations of 7000 mg per intake and their makers irresponsibly recommend it on a daily consumption. This puts humans at risk to such ailments as tendonitis and even heart failure which have been shown to occur in lab rats given super-doses of Resveratrol. In fact, there’s evidence to show that high doses inhibits vitamin B9 absorption needed for DNA repair.
