Resveratrol & Heart / Blood Vessels

One of the serious complications of free radical damage is hardening and thickening of the arteries. A “vicious cycle” of radicals, artery damage, and narrowing due to scar tissue that, in turn, promotes more free radical activity and more damage, has been described. Resveratrol is being investigated for effectiveness as treatment for this progressive process.The Heart Institute of Montreal, Canada has published research demonstrating that reseveratrol lowers blood pressure. This is an exciting area of interest in cardiovascular research. Resveratrol’s antioxidant action helps stop free radical damage and opens the arteries by enhancing nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a critical component of heart/artery function. It allows blood vessels to “relax,” which enhances blood flow. In a recent study, a high-cholesterol diet decreased nitric oxide by about a third.
