I think that if a substance is naturally occurring, that a synthetic version of it would be ok. Maxwatt or others might be more up on the laws than I am though. The analog in question was 4'O-acetyl resveratrol. I don't know if it occurs naturally. (probably not, but ya never know..)Niner, regarding your earlier note on the methylated or acetylated 0'4 site (sorry don't remember which it was) that maybe the reason no one is making it is because it is not naturally occurring. Is the FDA measure that of naturally occurring but synthetics are ok as long as they are the same molecule? In the paper I cited in response to that, they mentioned that some of the analogues they were looking at were naturally occurring but in smaller quanitites. If a provider were able to show the methylated/aceylated was a natural constituent couldn't they then synthesize that rather than the standard form of resv?
I like alcohol too, but oddly enough the presence of a couple grams of finely divided polyphenols really takes the enjoyment out of it for me... I think people here have tried all of the above. I looked at olive oil and it was a far worse solvent than I would have expected. Milk products seem to work, but some of us have lingering concerns about protein binding. If milk could be shown to be a good delivery system, that would be great. I think missminni reports good results with it. If you use the search option for displaying results as posts rather than threads, you could find some of these reports here. There are some crazily long threads on resveratrol here.As much as I like to drink alcohol I can't simply because I like it too much. I've found yogurt seems to be a good solvent. Has anyone tried some of the nutrient oils like flax or fish or even olive oil?
