The most recent study, related by Harvard, establishes a link between resveratrol and longevity. We discovered the mechanisms by which this molecule acts against different harms that come with age and against obesity.

The slimming regime

A study at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, demonstrated over a period of 8 weeks than the control group (of animals), which received resveratrol in addition to a rich diet, had a lower weight gain of 40% in the second group, fed the same way, without resveratrol.
The cause of this weight difference is due to mitochondria that resveratrol helps to make these residents organelles in cells transform energy and thus have an extra calorie in their beneficial activity in the body.
