Following such thinking of PETA.....lets respect cows, pigs, plants, fish, such important living things where we derive important life saving and human necessities that are essential to us as human society.

Very interesting video. My son in law works for Glaxo, interesting they bought this company. They maybe while Yoli is putting this in there new blast cap nutrition beverages. Been waiting on this product to come out for months. Glad you can now get free samples, just pay the shipping. You can get a blastcapcraze dot com. This should revolutionize the beverage industry and expose all the gatorade / vitamin water junk.

I am only 22 years old and have been taking the GENESIS which has everything all the sister products such as MonaVie and Noni plus MORE. See for yourself at the link.
http://www.symmetrydirect.com/pdf/GenesisCompChart.pdf
But I must say that this has really been instrumental in my life, clearing up my sinus, flu, infections, and putting my body back on track. I came from a low poverty area and was not in the best condition due to eating habits and lack of knowledge. I urge everyone to take the video serious. Try the GENESIS. It has Resevertrol, Ellagic Acid, helps with Glutathione, Natural Herbs, and more in it. www.symmetrydirect.com/alebarr
It goes beyond any other supplement. Don?t take my word. You be the best critic. Just check out the two sites and judge for yourself. It wouldn?t even hurt to try.

There is a summary on Resveratrol with a full-feature issue on the acai berry right now at RealHealthAnswers[.]com. Both are quite compelling on their possibilities.

heard almost 15 years ago in Karachi Pakistan that there is a hospital in India which treats patients with grape juice. This hospital keeps patients only on grape juice for forty days and does not give any food. In this process the patients faces very severe diarrhoea for several days and patient begs doctors to stop the treatment but that is the process through which patient has to go through. After forty days they gradually bring patient on liquid diet and then solid diet. At the end of this treatment person becomes young and his/her grey (white) hair turns black. I think this research has surfaced now in North America.

I would have to agree! You need to check out Monavie Pulse! As stated before in another comment, it too contains Resveratrol, along with 19 different super fruits that provide a perfect combination to fulfill your daily servings of fruits and vegetables. And the best part, it's all natural, whole food that can be absorbed 100% in a juice! AND YES... IT TASTES GREAT!!

You may also want to investigate MonaVie Pulse which combines 1) the high concentration resveratrol (as mentioned in the segment), 2) plant sterols from foods (which the National Cholesterol Education Program promotes as lowering LDL levels), and 3) the Brazilian Acai berry (which in the freeze-dried powder form has the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity ever tested by the USDA). By the way...it tastes good too. http://kropp.theacaistory.com or kroppk@comcast.net.

Nothing compare to the Power of Mother Nature!!
The fermentation process that comes along with the making of the wine, allows it to concentrate in antioxidants and other compounds that has a synergic action preventing cell oxidation due to free radicals. Extracting poliphenols directly from wine allows nutritional supplements to be naturally ?The Perfect Formula?, compared to any other product in the market where antioxidants come from the grape and some other parts of the plant meaning that the natural proportion of antioxidants in wine has been altered.
Resveratrol is not the only active molecule in red wine. There are many other molecules in it that are also antioxidants, and have benefits to our system when they act together. If we focus only on resveratrol, then a glass or two of red wine might not be enough, but considering the complete antioxidant power of a glass of red wine, it is more than enough to keep us aging slowly and in a healthy way.
Capsules of red wine make sense when we know that some of these antioxidants in red wine react with saliva forming insoluble complexes unable to be absorbed. So basically, when you drink red wine you are not even getting all the antioxidants. Capsules allow all the molecules to act in its original proportion... and again, Nothing compare to the Power of Mother Nature!

I don't believe we need more Pharmaceutical drugs. MaxGXL provides an all natural way to increase your bodies most powerful antioxidant called Glutathtione. Increasing Glutathione helps your cells operate at their optimum level therefore increasing energy, reducing inflammation and boosting your immune system, like when you were 20 years old.

Go to GiveYourMax.com for all the details about this breakthrough product!!

I am sure that Resveratol is great, but The Worlds Most Powerful Antioxidant is Not in a Berry, a Fruit or a Drink?It?s in Your Body!
Its called Glutathione or GSH and every cell in your body requires an adequate supply to function and to stay healthy. It?s your body?s super defender against illness, infection, toxins, and disease. GSH is critical to optimum brain function, and is also your body?s first line of defense against diseases of aging and the harmful affects of stress and overexertion.
Glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin, and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.
Glutathione has been shown to slow down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the immune system and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function - just to name a few.
It is pointless to purchase supplements that merely contain glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system. On the other hand, MaxGXL? provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body?s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione.
MaxGXL?s? Patented Formula Dramatically Increases Intercellular GSH. MaxGXL? provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body?s own ability to manufacture and absorb glutathione. MaxGXL? also aids in liver support by destroying environmental toxins, thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for glutathione.
The data indicate MaxGXL?s? effectiveness not only in populations who are immune-suppressed, but also in those who are stressed, aging, lacking sleep, or with any prolonged illness. In these situations, MaxGXL? stimulates the body?s production of glutathione to compensate for the body?s accelerated use of it, strengthening your natural defenses, decreasing your risk of illness and guarding against the effects of the body?s aging process.
If you want to see ALL that glutathione and MaxGXL can do, go to our website at www.max951.com You will be glad you did!

There are so many things that have been left out about the findings of Resveratrol.

While they are talking about Wine Rx, what kind of grape is usually used for wine? The Pinot Grape.

It has been discovered and proved that the Muscadine Grape contains the highest amount of Resveratrol... Over 40X the amount compared to the Pinot Grape. Also the Muscadine can only be found in the South Eastern US

I have logged many hours doing research on this and conversed with many scientists. All are in agreement and some consider the findings "Medical Miracles"

It has been discovered that Resveratrol also has helped people with

High Cholesterol
High Blood pressure
Glucose Regulation for Type II Diabetics
Cardio-Vascular problems
Inhibiting the growth of types of Cancer Cells

The best part about the research is that it was done with humans in what is called
Double Blind Placebo Controlled Human Clinical Trials.
Especially with cardio-vascular patients between the ages of 18 and 65..

The results were astounding and eye opening

I have worked with many people who are telling me how much the muscadine product has helped them in so many ways. It's great to hear about how their quality of life has improved or how someone they know is feeling better and showing improvement.

The one product I have found that surpasses anything out their today is called Natures Pearl.

If you look at the ingredients of Natures Pearl, its 100% pure crushed muscadine grape seed in a pill form. There is nothing man made in it.

One capsule is 650mg and the recommended dosage is 2 capsules a day.

Something else that needs to be known, the Resveratrol that Smith Glaxo Kline purchased for $750 million is "synthetic" Resveratrol... In other words man made.

Nothing personal but I prefer the natural Resveratrol from Muscadines. I personally have seen the dramatic results as to what the Resveratrol in Muscadines can do.

I have all the information and findings as well as all the research results available if you would like to see them.

Please feel free to contact me here or at my e-mail: scribbs35@northstate.net

I will be happy to provide you with all the information I have?

This Resveratol sounds wonderful and we can only hope it turns out to be the great find that it sounds like. But i have to say that the use of monkeys (and other animals) in experiments still gets to me in a way i cannot describe. These animals were not put on this earth to be kept in cages their whole lives and used in experiments for our benefit. It truly saddens me to my core to see that and to be honest it distracted me the entire time this video was on. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" - Gandhi. This statement really hit me when i read it, maybe we need to take a second look at our animal testing practices.

mmmvt, Pharmaceutical companies want to put Resveratrol into a pill I work with a company that sells Neutraceutical products and we have an entire division called nutraMetrix that works wit doctors to make sure that products like this are available now. We have Resveratrol in isotonic form which is a powdered form that you add to water and drink. It is actually more digestable that a pill because there are no binders and fillers--isotonic actuallualy means "equal pressure" as in equal body pressure to blood or tears so that it is absorbed immediately so get a 95% absorbtion rate and get your money worth; rather than a 30-40% rate of a pill--another reason the pharmaceuticals like pills you have to buy more of them. I know from personal experience that Resveratrol works because I have been taking it for 6 months. I was type 2 diabetic but my A1C is down to 5.6 which is actually below normal which is 5.7--5 years ago it was 12. If you want more info about the Isotonix line that includes Resveratrol and also OPC-3 which I also take it also has a red wine extract and Pycnogenol. Go to www.marketamerica.com/lauararthur all scientific info is listed on each products' page

After watching this segment regarding Resveratrol - there was one error - when the scientist said it will be available in 5 years - I am a nutritionist and I can tell you for sure that it is available now - just check out Vitamin Research Products or VRP.com or Swansons' vitamins - The dosage on the bottle in the TV interview was 250 mg. You can get 600 mg. from VRP. DO it now, before big business decides to make it illegal so only pharmacutical companies can sell it. But as of now, it is a natural product and cannot be patented - Besides this, the sadness of the monkies spending their entire lives in a cage is painful.

check out the pbs program nture"an unnatural history" the chimps who pioneered the spce program later used as test dummies and sped into walls always fatally. then the ones who were injected with aids, hepatitus and other diseases. they are prematurely aged and live sad lives . and is there a cure for aids a resounding no. if you can watch this and then still think they belong as experiments . you truly have no soul

to prime soup, you must have a crew of comedy writers on overtime with the peanut butter quip. junk food or nutritional food if you eat too much you dont need a crystal ball to see that diabetes , heart disease is in your future. yes its hard to believe but nutritional food can make you fat. and this on going experiment that has already taken decades still hasnt figured this out . all who pay taxes are thrilled with sending these overpaid lab coats theyre hard earned dough. putting yourself in the place of these sentinent beings now thats admirable.

to prime soup, no doubt you probably work for one of the drug companies .you know like the ones that sell a pill for $100 in the u.s. . the same pill that goes for $2 in mexico.taxpayer dollars and tortured intelligent creatures all so you can drive your mercedes to the country club. and by the way bambi had a merciful quick death unlike monkeys kept in shoebox sized cages for 30 years.
