AFAIK, at this point resveratrol does not look promising.

David Sinclair wrote in "Lifespan"[1] that they extended mice lifespan by (iirc) something like 40% but amounts of resveratrol used was something like mentioned 750-1000 wine glasses daily when translated to humans.

While Wikipedia suggests that resveratrol is not proven to help with anything, I'm still taking 600mg in the morning, along with 600mg ALA and 100mg of CoQ10. Placebo is an effect, too.

I think at this point Sinclair has lost a lot of credibility

Thank you. Saddening but informative.

I was chatting about resveratrol this very week with a colleague, ex pro athlete, writing about "Nutrition in Sports" for his PhD. Looking forward to discussing these findings with him.
