Each serving of Perfect ResGrape includes:perfect-resgrape
200 mg of 99% Pure Trans-Resveratrol

We also recommend Acai Berry Select which contains Green Tea extract(225 mg), Acai Berry Extract (50 mg), Chromium (75 mcg), and L-theanine (8 mg).

acaiberryselectTogether these two supplements Perfect Resgrape and Acai Berry Select will work in a synergistic fashion for your health benefits and will help you lose weight by increasing metabolism and fat oxidation and also help increase energy and fight fatigue so you have more energy for exercise and burning off calories. Great for your weight loss and anti-aging efforts.

Acai Berry Provides the vital antioxidants to fight free radicals and promote healthy body function and over all health. Similar to caffeine, Green Tea has been proven through research to increase our metabolic rate. It burns fat, and also contains a ton of antioxidants as well. Chromium is an essential mineral for normal metabolism of blood sugar. It helps regulate the sugar level in the blood stream. There is minimal research into the direct weight loss benefits of Chromium, how ever there has been no negative results. L-theanine doesn’t directly effect weight loss it’s been shown to reduce our stress levels.

There are big differences in the various resveratrol supplements currently available. Here are a few things to look for:

Does the product contain cis-resveratrol or trans-resveratrol?
Trans-resveratrol is the type of resveratrol that is considered nutritionally relevant, not cis-resveratrol.

What is the potency of the trans-resveratrol?
This is a huge point to consider. There is a big difference between 50% purity and 99% purity trans-resveratrol. Consumers should be sure to read the resveratrol ingredients label of any product being considered to see what they are buying.

Why is Muscadine Grape Resveratrol so Good?
What is the source of the resveratrol? Is it just from Japanese knotweed? Or is it from Muscadine grapes (a great source) or from some other source? Muscadine grapes are a terrifically healthy grape. Muscadines are also an excellent source of resveratrol. The antioxidant value of Muscadine grapes is stunning. Testing has shown ORAC value better than 2 times that of the pomegranate, almost 3 times that of the blueberry, over 3 times the blackberry and over 9 times that of non-muscadine grapes. Remember that many factors affect testing so definitive comparisons are impossible to make, but the evidence is extremely strong that Muscadine grapes are likely far better than ordinary red grapes. Not only are Muscadine grapes an antioxidant powerhouse but they’re also a potentially great source of resveratrol.

Avoid Low Purity Trans Resveratrol Products That Contain Large Amounts of Emodin – What is Emodin? – Why Avoid Emodin?
Some products are made with only low-purity trans-resveratrol from Japanese Knotweed. These products usually contain high amounts of Emodin, which is a problem. Emodin can cause gastrointestinal issues for many people because it can act as a laxative and can cause stomach cramps and more.

Resveratrol Products to Avoid

Avoid resveratrol supplement products which are made from low-purity trans-resveratrol, because they contain unacceptably high amounts of Emodin. Emodin can act as a laxative and cause stomach cramps and intestinal distress. Read more about it on this website.

Avoid resveratrol products that contain additional ingredients such as additives, fillers, or other substances.

Avoid any supplement when the label says it contains a “proprietary blend.” If there is no ingredient label displayed, you don’t want it. If the company won’t tell you what is in it, you shouldn’t take it.
