Micronutrients & recovery
A 12-week supplementation of 500 mg/day resveratrol does not significantly improve anthropometric measurements, insulin resistance markers, lipid profiles, or blood pressure in patients with NAFLD compared to placebo.
Do not expect 500 mg of resveratrol to fix your cholesterol, blood pressure, or insulin resistance. It may help your liver enzymes, but you still need to manage your weight, diet, and exercise to improve these broader metabolic health markers.
Our data have shown that 12-week supplementation of 500 mg resveratrol does not have any beneficial effect on anthropometric measurements, insulin resistance markers, lipid profile and blood pressure; however, it reduced ALT and hepatic steatosis in patients with NAFLD.
