What is Fluxome Resveratrol from Natural Fermentation?
The vast majority of resveratrol products are made by extracting resveratrol from the root of a plant called Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), a plant native to China, Japan and Korea. Currently, all knotweed-derived resveratrol is made in China.
There are two other sources of resveratrol: chemical synthesis and natural fermentation.
Chemical synthesis is what it sounds like: take some chemicals, mix them together and produce a different chemical. Whole Health does not sell any products containing resveratrol produced from chemical synthesis.
Fluxome® Resveratrol is produced by a natural yeast fermentation process. Unlike other forms of resveratrol, Fluxome Resveratrol is an all-natural, minimally-processed ingredient that is produced entirely in the United States. The production is simple, using only three ingredients: Fluxome's proprietary strain of bakers yeast (Sacchromyces cerevisiae), US-grown and produced non-GMO sugar, and water.
Why Is Our Fluxome Resveratrol from Natural Fermentation Better?
The fermentation process used to produce Fluxome trans-resveratrol is similar to the process used to make beer; a process that has been used for more than decade to produce the highest quality CoEnzyme Q10. In this case, only three ingredients are used Fluxome's special strain of bakers yeast, non-GMO sugar (grown and produced in the US), and water. After the fermentation process the resveratrol is purified by separating it from the yeast. It is then dried and sifted into a fine powder.
The end result is the purest form of resveratrol available. Our independent laboratory analysis confirmed that this resveratrol is 99.9% pure trans-resveratrol; the World's purest natural resveratrol. Since the resveratrol "bio-factory" is yeast, and not an extract, the product is natural and the quality is consistent. It is also sustainable and environmentally friendly. Unlike botanical extracts, there is no risk of over-harvesting, and there is no pesticide used. And, the end product contains no emodin.
Finally, because resveratrol can be damaged by light, we have encapsulated this product in white (not clear) capsules to ensure maximum potency when you take the product. (Gelatin-free capsules, 100% vegan product.) We are confident that there is not a better resveratrol product available.

What is Fluxome® Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound that has been found to have a strong antioxidant activity. Plants create resveratrol to protect themselves against the stress caused by things such as fungal and microbial attacks, poor growing conditions and severe weather. Resveratrol has been shown to reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reduce total cholesterol. Recent studies on animals have shown resveratrol to dramatically increase life span, increase athletic endurance and to mimic the benefits of a calorie-restricted diet.
The vast majority of the resveratrol on the market is made by chemically extracting resveratrol from the roots of a plant called Japanese Knotweed, Polygonum cuspidatum. Japanese Knotweed is native to eastern China, Japan and Korean. Currently all knotweed-derived resveratrol is made in China.

If you follow the news, then you have likely heard of resveratrol, an antioxidant commonly found in red wine, grape skins and other plants.
Many people heard about resveratrol for the first time on Sunday, January 25, 2009, when the CBS News program 60 Minutes aired a segment on the promising new research surrounding resveratrol. You can watch this segment to the right.
CBS News Correspondent Morley Safer interviews Harvard University researchers Christoff Westphal and David Sinclair, who have been pursuing the genetic link between resveratrol and enzymes called sirtuins for the past 5 years.
Sirtuins are a recently discovered class of enzymes that appear to control the aging process. In this video, Safer, Westphal and Sinclair discuss the incredible results from ongoing research aimed at identifying and isolating the exact component of resveratrol responsible for these lab results, in an effort to manufacture a pharmaceutical from this naturally-occurring compound.
Previously "Live to 150...Can You Do It?" an ABC News and Barbara Walters Special (April 1, 2008), Barbara Walters talked to researchers about the stunning research on longevity and Resveratrol. A little over a year earlier, researchers examining resveratrol made front-page news with their studies showing that resveratrol increased the life expectancy of lab animals by over 40%! Based on the results of this early research, we are expecting much more research to be done in the near future; we'll keep you posted.
Resveratrol is believed to be the plants' natural defense against adverse growing conditions and fungal attacks. While resveratrol is commonly found in red wine, it is only available in small amounts and those amounts vary greatly from wine to wine and bottle to bottle.1
Subscribers to our free monthly newsletter know all about this ongoing research. Below is a brief summary of the biggest headline-grabbing research results:
Resveratrol & Longevity
Resveratrol has been in the news over the last few years due to the results of several animal studies that found a link between resveratrol intake and significantly extended life spans. So far those studies have not been conducted on long-lived animals like humans. But the results of the animal studies are impressive to say the least. In 2003 researchers found that resveratrol increased the life span of a yeast by 70%.2 A follow-up 2006 study found a 56% increase in life span among a particular worm, Caenorhabditis elegans, and the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.3 In 2006, a study of a short-lived fish also found an extension of the animals' lives and revealed that the resveratrol delayed the onset of age-related markers.4,5 But the real break-through news on resveratrol came in the form of two studies published in the fall of 2006.6 The first of the two studies was published in the highly regarded scientific journal Nature, and found that resveratrol not only extended life by 40% in lab mice, but those same mice were eating a high calorie, high-fat diet without developing the ill-effects, such as diabetes and heart disease, that are normally associated with that kind of diet. The mice still got fat, but they stayed healthy.
Resveratrol & Athletic Endurance
In December of 2006 the scientific journal Cell published a study from researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology in Illkirch, France, which reported that resveratrol doubled the athletic endurance of lab mice, controlled weight gain, and prevented diabetes.7
Side Effects
There are no known side effects. As with most dietary supplements, until specific research is conducted, this product should not be used by pregnant or lactating women.
