Micronutrients & recovery
Dietary resveratrol intake, as measured by urinary metabolites in older adults, does not reduce all-cause mortality, inflammation, or risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
If you are eating a normal diet, your intake of resveratrol (from grapes, wine, etc.) is not enough to extend your life or prevent heart disease and cancer. Do not rely on dietary resveratrol for longevity benefits.
GoodRefutesHIGH confidence
In older community-dwelling adults, total urinary resveratrol metabolite concentration was not associated with inflammatory markers, cardiovascular disease, or cancer or predictive of all-cause mortality.
Why this rating
Large prospective cohort study (n=783) with long follow-up (9 years) and rigorous adjustment for confounders, though observational design limits causal inference.
