For years scientists have pondered the "French Paradox" – how the French could eat a high fat diet yet have low incidence of heart disease. The answer may, in part, be a newly identified compound, resveratrol. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring substance found in grapes, peanuts, some vines and Japanese knotweed, a popular plant used for years in Asian medicine. The potential benefits of resveratrol for the human population are still being explored.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant. One scientist referred to it as ""one of the best free radical scavengers."" This may account for its beneficial effects. Free radicals are produced naturally by the body and can damage healthy cells.

Resveratrol shows promise for a wide variety of human health problems particularly age-related diseases. Clinical trials are currently underway in areas such as diabetes management and cardiovascular disease.
