People get most of their daily dosages of resveratrol from grapes, wines, and juices, albeit in low quantities. Next in line is dark chocolate, followed by several berries & fruits, and nuts. Japanese Knot Weed (polygonum cupidatum) is used to get very high concentrations of resveratrol for nutraceutical supplements like Vinomis’ Vindure 900. These super-high concentrations are not possible from wine, grapes or grape juice, although those do add key polyphenolswhich interact with resveratrol and have strong antioxidant properties.

In a September 2009 edition of Bottom Line Health, Dr. Maroon recommends the following foods in addition to taking a mixed-polyphenol (Resveratrol + Red Wine grape polyphenols) supplement. He states, “I recommend the mixed-polyphenol supplement Vindure 900 developed by Vinomis Laboratories based on Harvard University research.”

EXCERPT from the Article: The Simple Supplement that May Prevent Killer Diseases. All about resveratrol.

Red Wine or Red Grape Juice. Wine grapes with the most resveratrol include pinot noir, merlot, grenache, cabernet sauvignon, and termpranillo. (These wines also deliver up to about 500 different polyphenols along with resveratrol) Suggested daily intake: 4 – 16 ounces for men and up to 6 ounces for women.

Pomegranate Juice. It is a good source of resveratrol and many other antioxidants. Suggested daily intake: 3 – 5 ounces

Dark Chocolate. It is a rich source of concentrated flavonols, a potent type of polyphenol. Select unsweetened or semi-sweetened varieties with at least 70% cocoa. Suggested daily intake: One bite-sized square.

Green Tea. Green tea contains resveratrol and is rich in epigallo-catechin gallate (EGCG) and other polyphenols.Suggested daily intake: 3 eight-ounce cups. Decaffeinated green tea contains EGCG but relatively little resveratro.

Blueberries. They are rich in procyanidins and other polyphenols. Suggested daily intake: At least 1 cup (fresh or frozen).
