A Spanish company has managed to capture and synthesize the results of this technique in the "longevity gene"
A single capsule concentrates the benefits equivalent to those provided for up to 45 bottles of red wine containing resveratrol.
Researchers at the Centre for Soil and Applied Biology Segura (CEBAS-CSIC), coordinated by the researcher, a native of Cehegín, Dr. Juan Carlos Espin, presented today in Madrid the discovery of a technique to enhance the benefits of the grape ( namely resveratrol) to previously unknown limits. Researchers at work in the CEBAS, aimed to improve the quality of fruits and vegetables by ultraviolet light, have obtained one of the most interesting findings that have occurred in recent years the field of health and is also a milestone in the science of aging.
In the words of a scientific researcher, Dr. Juan Carlos Espin, CSIC "Our surprise was discovering that the grape produces a very significant increase of resveratrol, a molecule supported with many studies relating to their health benefits.
Our challenge was to optimize this process to reach the consumer.
Now, we have observed that the amount of induced resvetratrol is sufficient to activate sirtuins, proteins related to the delay of aging and improve cardiovascular and metabolic diseases as well as reduce other cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation, among other beneficial effects.
Our satisfaction as researchers is enormous, moving to society the results of our efforts. "
Transfer to the consumer has been possible thanks to the focus of a laboratory of 100% Spanish capital, Actafarma.
After several years of development, has managed to capture and synthesize the results of this technique in a product that activates sirtuins, better known as the "longevity gene."
Resveratrol, a beneficial component in the grape and wine passing is a natural activator of sirtuins and this product in a single capsule, concentrates the benefits provided by 45 bottles of wine with resveratrol (but without the negative effects alcohol).
As explained in the press conference the spokesman for the company, Dr. Peter Tocabens, "many countries were encouraging research in this field.
We were aware of the expectations that had the potential to provide a supplement rich in resveratrol.
We are ahead of other research and work in the world to offer the first product that comes into society as activators of sirtuins and longevity gene. "
Science reaching the city
Red wine, despite popular belief, contains no resveratrol, and also its content is highly variable so that nothing can ensure that the bottle uncorked in a given time contains resveratrol. Hence both research and the launch of this product for several reasons constitute an important milestone.
First, because it has managed to identify the technique can generate the defense grapes in quantities up to 2,000 times higher than usual and, as a next step, to obtain resveratrol might be called "second generation."
Second, because this discovery allows for standardized content of resveratrol in grape extracts, allowing a constant and controlled intake of the beneficial compound and, finally, because this discovery has come to the society through a product whose active ingredient is able to concentrate in a single capsule benefits equivalent to those provided for up to 45 bottles of red wine containing resveratrol.
This product will be marketed under the name of Revidox appears therefore as the first sirtuin activator.
Has been launched first in the Spanish market but the Spanish company, Actafarma, plans to export its marketing to other countries.
Revidox has begun marketing in pharmacies from March.
Since this product through its high concentration of resveratrol, is considered a known activator gene in longevity, will help fight cellular aging, the outward signs of aging and diseases associated with it.
And will also help to slow the oxidative stress, inflammation and cardiovascular disease-related processes.
In addition to numerous clinical trials in the world on resveratrol, currently implemented several studies are confirming the expectations placed on Revidox.
In addition, the Spanish Food Safety Agency (AESAN) assessed the production process patented by the CSIC and has published safety.
