Resveratrol – What’s Old is New Again…

There has been a lot of buzz around resveratrol lately. In fact, Arch Personal Care received the 2009 BSB Innovation Prize in the ‘naturals’ categoryfor their Metabiotics™ Resveratrol .

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic antioxidant and phytoalexin commonly found in red grapes and wine that CoValence has formulated with for years. Our resveratrol is a stable form derived from Giant Knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum) which is the richest natural source of resveratrol available. It is commonly known that resveratrol has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping protect skin from UV damage, but the buzz around resveratrol these days is that resveratrol acts as an activator of Sirtuins, increasing cellular life.
