LONGECITY

I'm pretty new to the whole supplement game, so go easy on me. I've been trying to pin down which supplements are regarded as being a good idea to take daily, regardless of whether or not they have met with FDA approval, or are common knowledge. Omega-3 fatty acid seems to be one of those, and it's affordable (to me), so I take three caps a day. Resveratrol is a seemingly more recent item, with nothing truly concrete - for humans - pinned down that I can tell, but certainly with telling lab results on lower life forms, so I've been taking some of that as well. I only recently bothered to study the fine print and realize that I'm only getting about 120mg per day, vs. the 1500mg which seems to be a more generally accepted daily dose.

Before I start investing almost as much money in resveratrol as I do in food, I thought I might at least see if anyone knows whether or not the supplement may have an effect on the "inflammation factor", as denoted on www.nutritiondata.com. Despite it being what I consider to be comparably reasonable, my diet does not average in the positive in the inflammation factor. I had initially been hunting around for supplements which would decisively put me in the positive. But if resveratrol can help with that, then maybe it won't be such an issue justifying the considerable expense. Two birds, and all that.

Anyway, thanks for reading.

I'm not familiar with Nutritiondata's "inflammation factor," but resveratrol appears to have significant anti-inflammatory effects.

I'm not familiar with Nutritiondata's "inflammation factor," ...

Just in case anyone is interested... It's apparently based on the "IF Rating system" from "The Inflammation Free Diet Plan" book written by Monica Reinagel. Her website is: http://www.inflammationfactor.com

Brainbox has mentioned both that website and use of the data at Nutritiondata in a few posts:

I've been taking Resveratrol from two month and have good experience as an increase in available energy. Resveratrol works well & allows me to walk farther, workout longer, and has really helped to curb hunger. Latest Research on spammer show the multiple benefits of the ingredient, resveratrol has been tested for its ability to stop pain, stop the growth of the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers that can lead to cancer, protect immune cells, protect DNA, protect against skin cancer,[38] and many other conditions.

Resveratrol is very effective in controlling inflammation. I have been having
a bout with urticaria and angioedema. I stopped taking resveratrol when I first got it and recently started to
take it again and it totally mitigated the angioedema. i still have the hives, but no swelling and the swelling was
the worst part. It's very effective. Also, my dad, 92, who had chronic swelling of the ankles, has not had one
incident of ankle swelling since he started Resveratrol.
