Wine Dog Finds and Resveratrol..

Well what a perfect match.. finding a great deal on a boutique Sonoma winery at Trader Joe's, and learning that Univera is going to introduce the world's FIRST stabilized, guaranteed potency Resveratrol product.

And yes, there's a direct connection since Resveratrol is present in the skin of red wine grapes. Dr. Oz continues to appear on TV including "60 Minutes" where the research shows that this molecule could be the Fountain of Youth we've all been searching for! Unigen, our science division has assayed ALL resveratrol products and the results are as we'd expect: almost NO or very little resveratrol in them. And this is due to the instability of the molecule when in the presence of oxygen, much like red wine itself! Somehow or another, Unigen has patented a way to stablize the molecules and thereby guarantee potency. This fits in exactly with Univera's vision for cellular renewal which pushes down on damage and UP on repair. If you're a Wine Dog like me, you'll want Univera's Resveratrol in your daily regime. I can't wait to pick some up at our convention in two weeks!
