So by now you've probably heard on 60 Minutes or read in numerous news stories that red wine is good for you, and that you have resveratrol to thank for the excuse to tip one back every night. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant found in the skin of the grapes that has numerous health benefits, most especially for the heart.

So, really, can you think of a better love gift than a resveratrol necklace, handmade by a scientist-turned-artist in San Francisco? It's the perfect expression of wine, science, and love, all rolled into one piece of jewelry.

I love this! Beautiful and fun. Kind of reminds me of the drug-crystal structure tie I bought for my husband.

The wonder ingredient in wine is indeed resveratrol. The current studies performed by researchers have shown great promise for resveratrol treating the diseases of aging. There are numerous articles that I have linked to at my website - http://resveratrol.webiage.com - that document the findings for the potential health benefits in treating heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and other diseases.
Concerning supplements containing a high quality and potency of resveratrol that is necessary to achieve the dosage levels utilized in the lab tests, there is a new product called Vivix. Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S. (http://www.shaklee.com/index.shtml), has produced a liquid resveratrol supplement that is 10 times stronger than resveratrol alone due to its patented formulation of polyphenols.
Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz are both users and promoters of Shaklee products and Oprah has featured Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee, on her show.
So for a highly researched resveratrol supplement of exceptional quality, please visit - http://www.shaklee.net/davidhynes/vivix - to discover more about Vivix.

This is an excellent article on resveratrol. Don't forget to consider adding pure organic acai berry to the mix. Here is an excellent wensite that gives honest non-hyped information about acai http://Organic-Acai-Berry.com .I find that acai increases my energy level.
