I'm not a medical research professional, but how many promising drugs survive all the relevant tests that should be conducted before it can be labeled "effective and safe"? Could you please elaborate on that?
Ok, I'm also very eager to take T-Res. I'm in my 40'ties and willing to try a lot to stay healthy or become more healthy. But first I will wait for the test results of the healthy Sinclair mice before even thinking of these high doses. In my opinion that's a healthy starting point to begin with. Healthy discussion enables adaptation of standpoints. So, if you would like to convince me to take 1 gram or more of T-Res a day, and could be held liable for my well being, what would be your top 3 or 4 arguments for that? (Consider this a general question to all heavy T-Res users. )
Ahh... that is quite the question!
Lets get to the meat of it... the words "...and could be held liable for my well being..." is the part I am referring to in your statement.
Answer to that bit...
I think these words are very broad in scope, and I am simply not a doctor who knows your medical history to ascertain what, if anything, resveratrol will do to you personally. Heck you might be a pregnant woman for all I know... and I then would have to say... don't take it! (Just like most supplement vitamin labels out there who also say the same thing about a pregnant woman.)
1- Is it safe? I believe it to be very safe, and no toxicity levels have ever been reported at that dosage, while 25mg has been shown to be easily flushed out of your system.
2- Have there been long term usage of resveratrol in humans? Only in Chinese medicine, and most folks here know how I feel about chinese medicine.
3- I take it myself and I am 35... I have taken it for 6-7 months now... without ill effects.
It may be that I am Alien, or an exceptional human (hehehe...) and resveratrol is simply great for me. But for you... I can't make medical decisions for you, sorry. All I can say is that, you and your doctor can both come to an agreement about taking a higher dosage and your doctor can definitely give you a weekly or monthly progress report if you so desire.
