Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Resveratrol And Related Polyphenols Contribute To Their Potential Beneficial Effects In Aging

Abstract

Resveratrol is a polyphenol found in grapes, blueberries, mulberry and raspberry. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-proliferative properties resveratrol has been reported to have health benefits in aging and age-related health disorders. While the actions of resveratrol and related polyphenols are likely multi-factorial, the anti-inflammatory of polyphenols are reasonably well documented.
