If you look at the attached presentation (see .pdf attachment to this post), you will see Dr. Pratt recommends certain dosages of certain supplements for health benefits. For example 800-2000 iu Vitamin D, 350mg from Vitamin C, 400 mcg for Folic Acid, etc... see the presentation to see.
He specifically says Resveratrol doesn't have an optimum dose, since we don't have the evidence for such a claim. Simply based on the evidence, it seems 1.2/mg/Liter (one or two bottles of red wine) is the best extrapolation from the "French Paradox."
That is, specifically, if I could find a 1.2 mg pill of resveratrol, I would buy it. Who sells 1.2 mg of resveratrol? I see some people are taking 1000mg pills when there's no doctors who actually recommend this dose!
I mean, life extension science is based on hype already, but if you're taking 1000mg but can't even find ONE DOCTOR to recommend 1000mg, you're in trouble. Where's the evidence?
