Happy International Merlot Day!
Sometimes a glass of wine sounds just delightful, but the side effects just aren’t worth it somedays – especially when we need to be productive the following day. Along with International Merlot Day we’d like to share some red wine facts. Merlot is the second most enjoyed red wine after Cabernet Sauvignon. Although alcohol is a depressant and can cause things like anxiety and fatigue, we’ve all heard there are also benefits to red wine. The benefits come from the antioxidant component, known as polyphenols. Read on to see ways to enjoy the goodness of red wine without the side effects from sulfites or alcohol.
The Good Stuff
Polyphenols are used by your body to protect cells, tissues and the lining of blood vessels in your heart.
Where do polypheonls come from?
Many plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits and various spices contain polyphenols. Some sources are higher in polyphenols than others like: blackberries, blueberries, red grapes, flaxseed, cloves, oregano, peppermint and cocoa powder.
For grapes, the color of the skin determines the polyphenol content: red grapes are higher in polyphenols than green (“white”) grapes. Therefore, red wine has more health benefits as compared to white wine. Furthermore, red wines allow for a higher level of support for cardiovascular function and other body systems.*
What about Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a type of polyphenols (belonging to polyphenols’ stilbenoids group), which possess very high antioxidant properties. Stilbenes, in particular trans-resveratrol and its glucoside, are widely researched and shown to benefit human health associated with high antioxidant capacity for free radical defense. Bioactive benefits have also been reported to include cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and anticarcinogenic properties as well as supports the body’s response to inflammation.*1
Although there are benefits from the polyphenols in red wine, note that drinking alcoholic red wine does add extra calories, can interfere with medications, and it may impair judgment. 2 Also, many people are sensitive to the sulfites in red wine.
• What about a NON-ALCOHOLIC alternative?
This is where Eniva comes into the picture with ResVante Liquid Resveratrol Complex to help you recieve the benefits of resveratrol WITHOUT the alcohol or sulfites.
Eniva ResVante
Get the Facts
Eniva ResVante contains 99.9% pure, validated trans-resveratrol at a potent concentration.
• One ounce of ResVante contains 100 mg of resveratrol plus an additional 1000 mg of fruits and berries extracts (Rejuvenation Complex).
• A person would need to drink 300 glasses of red wine to equal the antioxidant resveratrol content in just one ounce of ResVante.
Wow! That’s a lot of wine you would need to drink – more wine than is “safe” in order to achieve the amount of trans-resveratrol in one ounce of ResVante.
• Liquid Advantage
The nutrients in ResVante are in liquid form, unlike tablet and pill products which take longer to digest. ResVante’s liquid design maximizes the absorptive potential of the trans-resveratrol – making it easier for the body to use.
• Safety
ResVante uses the highest quality ingredients, sourcing our trans-resveratrol from the wine country of France, not the roots of potentially toxic Asian knotweed. We extensively test all our ingredients for pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and microbes.
Be mindful of your Supplement Use: It is very important to remember that ResVante contains high-potency nutrients. As with all dietary supplements, it is essential to read the dosing and use instructions. It is also important to talk with your health care professional about your use of dietary supplements.
Eniva ensures that ResVante contains no fillers, binders, additives, artificial flavors or colors, no animal products, and no added sugars. Manufactured in the USA, ResVante remains the only liquid French wine country-sourced trans-resveratrol formulation available to the public.
