Resveratrol’s On A Roll with Hu
Zhang
by Jennifer Savedge, Healthy Living Article
 Need
another good reason to try
Zyflamend? It contains an herb called Hu Zhang that is one of
nature’s richest sources of Resveratrol, a compound considered one of
the most promising biomedical advancements of the past year. Recent
studies have linked Resveratrol consumption to a range of beneficial
health effects, including enhanced vitality of the mind and body. If
it is not already, this nutrient should be part of your daily regimen.
Here’s why…
Clinical studies provide convincing evidence that
Resveratrol can stall the aging process and reduce the incidence of
many of the diseases linked to aging. Indeed, Resveratrol has been
proven to extend the life span of every species that it has been
administered to, from fruit flies, to worms, to fish. A recent study,
published in November of last year, found that this powerful
ingredient has the same life-extending effect on warm-blooded mammals.
This exciting study, published in the journal
Nature, followed three groups of middle-aged mice that were fed three
distinctly different diets. The first group was fed a standard diet,
the second group was fed a high-calorie, high-fat diet, and the third
group was given a high-calorie, high-fat diet as well as a
supplemental dose of Resveratrol. As could be expected, the mice fed
the high-calorie, high-fat diet died at a younger age and had a much
greater incidence of weight gain, fatty livers, diabetes, and
inflammation in heart tissue than the mice that were fed the standard
diet. However, the third group of mice; those fed a high calorie,
high-fat diet along with Resveratrol developed none of the medical
problems associated with the second group. In fact, they maintained a
physiology comparable to lean mice. Resveratrol-fed mice also
outperformed both the first and second groups of mice on tests of
physical performance, and their risk of death was reduced by 30
percent!
The results of this study were collaborated by a
concurrent study, led by Johan Auwerx, a scientist at the Institute of
Genetics and Molecular and Cell Biology in Illkirch, France. This
study found that mice that were treated with Resveratrol were leaner
and developed more efficient muscles than those who were not given the
supplement. In an interview with the New York Times, Dr. Auwerx said
“Resveratrol makes you look like a trained athlete without the
training.”
These results were exciting enough, but additional
studies published over the last few years show that Resveratrol may
also protect against many of the diseases that often go along with old
age, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's; diseases
that can significantly reduce the quality of a person’s life.
Resveratrol is a natural molecule commonly found in
foods such as raspberries, peanuts, cranberries, and grapes. Red wine
contains trace amounts of this nutrient, which is why its consumption
is often linked with numerous health benefits. However, there really
is not enough Resveratrol in red wine to make it an ideal dietary
source. Nature’s richest source of Resveratrol can be found in the
roots and stalks of the Japanese knotweed herb, also known as Hu Zhang
(Polygonum cuspidatum), a primary component of
Zyflamend by New Chapter.
In a recent study performed at Yangtze University in
China, researchers found that Resveratrol has “less toxicity and
higher efficiency in Polygonum cuspidate,” than in other sources .
Each daily serving of
Zyflamend gives you as much Resveratrol as drinking six
glasses of red wine but without the headache!
