Liposomal Resveratrol

Liposomal Resveratrol delivers 250 mg of trans-resveratrol in one capsule a day.

Resveratrol is a plant compound, best known from grape skins and Japanese knotweed, and it is one of the molecules that keeps researchers busy in work on ageing. That work is still developing. What is not in doubt is the practical problem: plain resveratrol is poorly absorbed and unstable in light and air, and a great deal of what is swallowed never gets anywhere useful.

This is trans-resveratrol, the form used in the research literature rather than a mixed grape extract, finely milled and then enclosed in liposomes. Liposomes are microscopically small spheres of fat-like material that wrap the ingredient and protect it on the way through the digestive tract. It is a technique borrowed from pharmacy, and it earns its place with exactly this kind of fragile, fat-soluble compound.

Alongside the resveratrol each capsule holds medium-chain triglycerides, sunflower lecithin to form the liposomes, gum arabic, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. The shell is plant-based HPMC, so the capsules are vegan.

One capsule daily, best with breakfast, since a fat-soluble ingredient is better taken with a meal. Jars come in 30 and 60 capsules. Many people take it with Liposomal NMN Capsules, which is the pairing behind the Vital Core Bundle, and it also sits in the Max Longevity Bundle alongside quercetin and spermidine.

The capsules contain no gluten, no added sugar and no animal ingredients. Made in Europe under GMP conditions and tested by an independent laboratory for purity and heavy metals, with a certificate of analysis for every batch.
