Resveratrol.. Is it best from Cab, Merlot or Zin?

Well I bit the bullet a couple of months ago and purchased some Resveratrol.. Since I've been involved with Univera's amazing products (AgelessXtra, MetaGreens, Aloe Gold, Prime, RegeniCARE, etc.), I figured if I'm going to do what I can to reverse aging, why not add Resveratrol!!

While researching it I suddenly wondered what grapes yielded the most potent form of the molecule.. Or maybe there's no such thing! The one thing I DID learn is that Trans Resveratrol is far more bioavailable that simple Resveratrol and that we need to take at least 500mg/day of it. I've been taking it for about 6 weeks and haven't noticed anything significant, though my energy is good all day long. Of course I'm still taking my AgelessXtra twice a day which always boosts my energy..

Onward.

In my normal 'sniffing' around, I recently found a few great Wine Dog buys which are below:
