Hello all,

A lot of forum users have noted various effects on mood, subjective energy levels etc. while taking resveratrol, particularly at the higher doses. We've also seen what seem to be legitimately attributable blood pressure decreases. One thing I haven't seen is body temperature tracking. I'm curious if any of you are tracking this, and if you've seen changes. I think this is particularly interesting in light of the various studies showing a relationship between temperature and longevity. I've been measuring mine occasionally since increasing resv to >1gram doses, and am averaging around 96.0F (sublingual). Unfortunately I don't have good control data for prior to treatment, but historically I've never tested much less than 98.

Thanks!

My temperature is always normal (98.something F) and I'm taking 600mg a day of t-res.

This is something I have been checking for almost three years now.
For the first 2 years while on 40mg a day of t-res my average body temp was around 97.2

Last several months while on 300mg a day of t-res my average body temp is around 96.2

It does fluctuate through out the day. This would also be oral mouth temperature using a digital digital thermometer.

Temperature can fluctuate by upto 0.6 - 1 degree celsius a day...

Ear temperature is more accurate, but if doing under the tongue make sure you don't drink or eat anything, and stay in room temperature for at least 20 minutes. Best way to check if resveratrol is affecting body temperature is to measure each day as soon as you wake up in the morning. It also depends on how old you are, as you age temperature usually drops quite a bit.

Heres how body temperature varies during the day

Thanks Matt, good tips. My wife is a nurse and has been supervising my technique. [thumb]

I didnt take my body temp regularly before taking resveratrol (been taking it now since November) but right now its usually around 96.5 to 97.0, somewhere around there. I've wondered also if this has to do with resveratrol. I've also heard that low body temp goes along with hypothyroidism which I recently found out falls in line with my latest blood work. interesting-

Good info!

This is something I plan on doing regularly... resveratrol or not.

At this point I'm leaning towards the infrared ear type: IRT 4000 series thermometer:

based on:

Conclusion: Infrared ear thermometers 4000 temperature readings accurately reflect body core temperature and correlate well with the invasive PAC. Infrared ear thermometers may present a clinically useful alternative to the pulmonary artery thermometry for the measurement of core temperature in the perioperative setting or in the intensive care unit.
