TweetDrug Companies Rush to Harness Red Wine's Anti-Aging Properties
Wednesday, June 04, 2008


Researchers may be closer to finding the fountain of youth than Ponce de Leon ever was.

In a new study, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers found that red wine may be much more potent than thought in extending human lifespan, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

Red wine's anti-aging properties have fueled the rapidly growing search for longevity drugs, and some scientists already are taking capsules of the wine's anti-aging ingredient, resveratrol, a natural compound believed to protect the heart against the effects of aging.

Others, however, believe better data on its safety and effectiveness is needed, according to the study, published this week in the journal Public Library of Science One.

But safety concerns haven't deterred drug makers.

On Monday, Sirtris, a startup founded in 2004 to develop drugs with the same effects as resveratrol, completed its sale to GlaxoSmithKline for $720 million, The Times reported.

In a separate study, Sirtris has been testing resveratrol and other drugs that activate sirtuin, a protein that may be able to control age-related disorders in humans and other organisms.

In April the company reported that its formulation of resveratrol, called SRT501, reduced glucose levels in diabetic patients, according to The Times. It plans to start clinical trials of SRT501 soon.

Glaxo reportedly hopes to use Sirtris' research to manufacture drugs that could treat a host of degenerative disorders such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Tweetresveratrol is available in other forms without alcohol. You dont have to drink wine to obtain the anti aging benefits. There are phytonutrients in plants that are so sub-atomic and miniscule that they have yet to be discovered. Just load your system with all forms of anti-oxidants, including resveratrol.
