Resveratrol is a natural compound that belongs to the broader group of polyphenols – substances that plants produce as a natural defense against stress, UV radiation, infections or other harmful influences.

It is found most in the skins and seeds of red grapes, which is why it is often associated with red wine.

In addition to grapes, resveratrol is also found in other natural sources, such as peanuts, mulberries, blueberries, and Japanese buckwheat (Polygonum cuspidatum), which, due to its high content of this substance, is often used as the main source of resveratrol in the production of nutritional supplements.

After entering the human body, resveratrol passes through the digestive tract, where it is rapidly absorbed. It is then metabolized in the liver and intestines, meaning that the body converts it into other compounds.

Although it is absorbed fairly efficiently, its bioavailability – the amount that the body can actually use – tends to be naturally low. This is why there is currently an emphasis on modern manufacturing processes that increase the effectiveness and absorbability of this substance.

One such advanced approach is the production of resveratrol using SmartPure® technology . This is an innovative method of extracting and processing active ingredients, which ensures an extremely high purity of the final product.

SmartPure® technology allows us to separate out unwanted components and concentrate on the most active forms of resveratrol, significantly increasing the quality and stability of the entire compound. The result is a product that has a consistent composition and high concentration of the active ingredient without the need for chemical processing or aggressive solvents.

In the human body, resveratrol is involved in various biological processes – for example, in oxidative stress responses, which are a normal part of the body's daily functioning. From a scientific point of view, its effect on so-called cell signaling, which is the way cells communicate with each other and respond to changes in their environment, is of particular interest.

The daily recommended dose (1 capsule) contains 400mg of Japanese knotweed root extract (of which 200mg is resveratrol)!
