My apologies for also posting this in the resveratrol forum, as I didn't know this existed for products here.
^{I have just purchase Biotivia 500 mg of TRANS (trans reveratrol).  Their website claims that their product is well tested and pure.  I found a big discount, so I'm not worried about price.
Is this a good product and brand to take?  I've heard TRANS resveratrol is a key effective ingredient.  Is 500 mg too much for 200 pound male?  I'm 47 - do you think me starting this product will make a big difference in my long term health and longevity (pls be specific)?  
also, can i just take the pill and swallow it, or do I need to open it, swoosh it with water in my mouth, etc.  please be specific about what I need to do
thanks}

I believe the company takes necessary precautions and tests their product properly.  The dose is about what most here have settled on.  I do believe buccal or sublingual absorption results in higher blood serum levels.  If you can get pure resveratrol powder, it might be less expensive, better absorbed and more effective.  Or you could open the capsules and place the powder under your tongue and sip a little water and hold it in your mouth a minute.  Unless the capsule contains flow agents and excipients, in which case it may feel a little gritty, but this would be harmless.
