Natural Weightloss and Wine?

According to the July 5, 2010 issue of Time magazine, French researchers have found that resveratrol fed to lemurs for a month helped the animals eat less, boost metabolism, and lose weight.

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring compound found in grapes and red wine. Dr. Lark has been turned on to resveratrol for years now, documenting its benefits for everything from heart protection to its anticarcinogenic properties.

Research studies have also shown that resveratrol may offer menopause support. The 1997 study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that resveratrol binds with estrogen receptors and produces estrogen-like effects within the body. One research study in particular has looked at resveratrol as a treatment for menopause, suggesting that it may be useful in easing menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, depression, and even osteoporosis.

Dr. Lark recommends taking 200 mg of resveratrol, standardized to at least 8 percent total resveratrols, mixed with flavonoids for better bioavailability.
