Since resveratrol is a relatively new supplement, there may be side effects that we don’t know about yet, to do with resveratrol.

So far, after taking resveratrol, I have not noticed side effects yet.

I have noticed several resveratrol benefits which you can find in my earlier post.But this is not to say that there can be side effects of resveratrol that may occur.

So put your posts here of any resveatrol side effects that you have experienced.

If you had benefits as well as side effects, then let us know.

And take into account the dose as well.

Some studies have found that resveratrol was well tolerated in large doses, eg 2.5 grams to 5 grams in single dose. ~1

Another study, this time by Sinclair, was the first human trial of a drug which mimics the effect of resveratrol, on type 2 diabetes patients.

In this study, a third or participants took a 2.5 g dose, another third took a 5 g dose, with a third taking a placebo.

The results?

“Both doses were found to be safe and well tolerated and levels of the drug remained consistent in the blood over the 28-day period, the company said. But the drug also improved glucose tolerance in an oral test and showed a trend toward lowering glucose levels in the blood.” ~2

It’s interesting to note that resveratrol from Japanese knotweed (the most potent source of resveratrol) has been taken by the Chinese and Japanese for decades for its anti aging and healing benefits.

And it was only recently in Western culture, with the discovery of the resveratrol in red wine that this compound has been gaining a lot of attention.

Apparently, half the people in the labs of Dr Sinclair are taking resveratrol.

You can read more about the research and studies on resveratrol in my other post, and the benefits these studies have shown.

And remember that individual responses may vary.

So let us know and share your experiences.
