That it has also estrogen-like properties, is less well known. But a new study has indicated that resveratrol the ideal substance could be a natural hormone-replacement therapy. In this, the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry study published in the estrogen-and anti-tumor effects of different phytoestrogens were compared. It was shown resveratrol more apoptotic activity than genistein and Glycetein. (Apoptosis-programmed cell death and an important step of the body to protect itself from cancer.) Is (daidzein, however, showed slightly cell-stimulating effect.)
Based on these results by leading scientists came to the conclusion that the search for natural therapies " resveratrol the most promising candidate as an alternative HET "is.
with red wine but it is difficult enough to take resveratrol (unless you try to drink to 50-100 bottles a day). But it there's always more food supplements - rounded off perhaps with a glass or two ...
