Resveratrol Improves Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptoms

Saw an article about a new study that found that resveratrol, an antioxidant found in grapes, improved symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Here's an excerpt from the article:

Resveratrol is a phytonutrient (phyto means “plant”) that is the subject of considerable research because of its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and immune system boosting properties. Previous studies have suggested that resveratrol enhances brain function and builds resistance to stroke, helps withweight loss, inhibits prostate cancer cell growth, and protects against diabetes.

Resveratrol’s anti-inflammatory abilities are of special interest for possible treatment and prevention of inflammatory bowel disease, of which ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the two most common types. In the current study, which appears in theEuropean Journal of Pharmacology, researchers conducted a placebo-controlled study in which one group of mice were given 20 mg of resveratrol per kilogram of food and the other group received placebo. The study period lasted 30 days.

Grape juice is my primary dietary source of carbohydrates (because it is SCD compliant), so this is encouraging news. It also reinforces why the SCD diet may work.

  1. I bought the SCD book, not cheap. It has 205 pages but only 80 pages of write-ups and the rest is just a recipe book and bibliography.

    Although the diet is helpful, it is very strict. I don't think it is the true cure for IBD; it is just controlling the symptoms, never mind there is large following on Amazon.

    Got to try other remedies like what you wrote above RESVERATROL. But via a supplement not through grape juice because there is very little even in a glass of winem less than 1 mg in a glass. LINK:

  2. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, definitely agree that SCD isn't the cure. There really isn't any permanent cure at this point. But I can say that the diet has done wonders for me and kept me off meds in the process. So worth a try at least if you can swing how restrictive it is.

    Interesting on the resveratrol. Appreciate you sharing the link.

  5. Although therapy has become more tolerable and once daily FDC tables have made it easier to adhere to prescribed treatment, it still requires that patients take their medication regularly to achieve sustained viral suppression. When treatment adherence is inadequate and replication is therefore not suppressed, But dr itua promised and fulfilled his promised to me as he said I will share his work to people that are suffering from Infertility, Herpes,Cervical Cancer,Bone Cancer,Brain Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Leukemia,Brain Tumor,Breast Cancer,Blood Cancer,Kidney Cancer,, Hepatitis A/B, Fibroid, HIV/ Aids, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Copd, Diabetes, Liver/Kidney Inflamotry,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,
