I started reading about it after I watched Dr. Shiva's quercetin vid where he says resv. is a zinc ionophore. I didn't find anything on that. The benefits claimed have to do with enzyme production. After getting rich from from resveratrol, Sinclair started marketing it to be taken together with NMNs to boost NAD+ which is supposed to boost metabolism in a way that slows down aging, but now people say resveratrol slows your metabolism.

I have no idea what's true on this but watching YT resveratrol vids sent my BS detector off the page. I do know that boomers and gen x'ers drink wine based on Sinclair's resveratrol studies, when the amount of resveratrol in wine is miniscule: 50-90 Gallons a week needed for the dose they gave mice. So that's an incorrect thing that people have been led to believe and they waste their time and money on it. You can see in the very beginning of the vid, Sinclair says it's concentrated in red wine. That's false, and it looks like he used it to market resveratrol as a natural supplement. There's no way you'll ever get that level of Resveratrol in nature.

The other thing you'll notice in that first clip (pre-botox?) is he says he takes it every day, but in the second clip he mocks people who want to see results from taking it every day, saying they haven't read the supplemental section of the study and should take it every other day (after making lots of money from them taking it every day based on his own suggestions).

He also profited from NMN supplements, which the FDA recently banned, and you can find him playing the game with the FDA after the writing was on the wall for that. Also vids debating its merit. I don't know if the FDA ban speaks poorly for him or speaks well for him, but apparently he agreed with them (maybe for pragmatic reasons) about taking it off the shelf--will he return the profits, forget it. But I don't know the nuances of what he said, don't care enough to research further.

Normally I wouldn't rip on someone for plastic surgery or botox but this guy, he used the youthful looks from the surgery to market the supplement, suggesting he looked young because he took resveratrol.

SO Resveratrol might be a scam. Sinclair's recommendation to fast intermittently probably isn't, in general, IMO and I have some vids I'll post about that. Two vids coming from FLCCC suggest resveratrol so take it with a grain of salt or DYOR. I saw a talk where a doctor compared focusing on the outcome vs on the mechanism and I agree, I don't trust medical jargon about sophisticated body mechanisms, we know very little on how the body works.
