What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol — a type of micronutrient found in plants. It is present in the skins of red grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and in Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica). Plants produce resveratrol as a natural response to environmental stressors such as UV exposure and fungal infections. As a dietary supplement ingredient, resveratrol is an antioxidant that helps reduce free radicals formed in the body.

Where Resveratrol is Found

Resveratrol occurs naturally in small amounts in red grapes, berries, and peanuts. The amounts found in dietary sources such as red wine are small — typically 1.5mg to 3mg per litre. Supplementation provides a more concentrated source of this polyphenol. Zenutri sources its resveratrol for use in TGA-listed products manufactured in Australian GMP-certified facilities.

Two Forms of Resveratrol

Resveratrol exists in two forms: trans-resveratrol and cis-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol is the more stable form and is the form commonly used in supplements. When choosing a resveratrol supplement, look for products that specify the trans-resveratrol content and are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).

About Bioavailability

Bioavailability refers to the proportion of an ingested substance that enters the circulation. Resveratrol is a fat-soluble compound, meaning it is absorbed alongside dietary fats. Taking resveratrol-containing supplements with a meal that includes some fat (such as avocado, nuts, or olive oil) may support absorption. Always follow the directions on the product label for each Zenutri product.
