Resveratrol (3,4′,5-trihydroxystilbene) belongs to a class of polyphenolic compounds called stilbenes. Certain plants produce Resveratrol and other stilbenoids in response to stress, injury, fungal infection, or ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Since the early 1990s, when the presence of Resveratrol in red wine was established, the scientific community has been exploring the effects of Resveratrol on health. Specifically, it was postulated that resveratrol intake via moderate red wine consumption might help explain the fact that French people have a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in spite of consuming foods high in saturated fat, a phenomenon dubbed the “French Paradox”. Since then, reports on the potential for Resveratrol to prevent cancer, delay the development of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, and extend lifespan in experimental models have continued to generate scientific interest. Early research, mostly done in test tubes and in animals, suggests that Resveratrol might help protect the body against a number of diseases.

The benefits of Resveratrol in Dr PPARs^® include:

• Antioxidant properties
• Anti-aging, promote longevity
• Improve insulin function and reduce blood glucose
• Protect cardiovascular system and reduce LDL cholesterol
• Improve memory and mental focus, protect against Alzheimer’s disease
• Reduce inflammation
• Prevent cancer

Like its cousin Resveratrol, plants produce Pterostilbene in response to injury and infection. Also like Resveratrol, Pterostilbene has a high level of bioavailability and offers similar protective effects. Additionally, research suggests Pterostilbene may be more powerful than Resveratrol. In fact, combining Pterostilbene with resveratrol may pack a potent nutritional punch, helpful for supporting healthy cellular function.

Potent Antioxidant

Experiments suggest Pterostilbene has several important benefits. First & foremost, the compound acts as a powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory. It also appears to bind to gene receptors, stimulating production of a powerful compound that plays an important role regulating cholesterol & lipids in the blood. One study using animal models reported its success lowering triglycerides. In this respect, Pterostilbene may be an important adjunct in the future management of heart disease.

Regulates Blood Sugar

Numerous studies have found plant -based consumption of Pterostilbene ingestion, stabilizes blood sugar. In one study, 97 adults took Pterostilbene based supplement for 12 weeks. At the end of the study, 67% of the participants brought their blood glucose levels under control, with an average drop of 32 mg/dl for fasting blood sugar.

Rejuvenates Brain Cells

Improved blood sugar levels combine with antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties to promote brain health. This activity helps brain cells recover & repair damage, restoring brain function. Multiple studies have demonstrated Pterostilbene improves motor function & cognitive abilities in adults suffering from early memory changes & Alzheimer’s disease.

Promotes Longevity

Pterostilbene is is a bioactive chemical which has been shown to reverse cognitive decline, stabilize blood sugar, & reduce inflammation. In vitro & in vivo studies support pterostilbene’s therapeutic & preventative effects. The compound also acts as a caloric restriction mimetic, triggering the human body to release biochemicals such as adiponectin which slows aging & promotes healing.

A new study has found that chemicals in red grapes & blueberries may boost your body’s immune system. Researchers from Oregon State University looked at the impact of 446 different chemicals on the human immune system. The findings showed that two compounds, Resveratrol found in red grapes & Pterostilbene found in blueberries, when combined with Vitamin D3, could boost the body’s ability to fend off illness. The research was published today in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, in studies supported by the National Institutes of Health.

Dr PPARs^® contains all the above mentioned in wholesome plant-based form & in perfect ratios.

Flavonoids have an amazing profile which comprises over 6,000 different substances found in virtually all plants. They are a group of nutrients that gives vibrant colours to the foods we eat. For example, the blue and red in berries, orange in oranges, and purple in grapes. Besides contributing to the colours, the Flavonoids in Dr PPARs^® play important roles in:

• Reducing inflammation
• Antioxidant
• Cancer prevention
• Preventing cardiovascular diseases
• Fighting bacteria, fungus and virus
• Improve diabetes

Most Flavonoids function in the human body as antioxidants. In this capacity, they help neutralize overly reactive oxygen-containing molecules and prevent these overly reactive molecules from damaging parts of cells.
