Hi Rick,

The Harvard study used 22 milligrams of resveratrol per kilogram of body weight. For a 160 pound person, that’s equivalent to about 1,600 milligrams of resveratrol.

It’s safe to say you’d need to consume over 100 bottles of red wine with high levels of resveratrol to match that dosage.

The French drink about a glass of wine a day (4 mg or less of resveratrol) and enjoy a lower incidence of heart disease than Americans, so clearly more study is needed to find the optimal dosage for humans.

High quality resveratrol supplements (lab tested for potency ) are available.

From what I have read on these rat studies, the amount of wine a human would have to drink to equal the equivalent amounts of Resveretrol given to the mice would be about 1000 bottles per day. Am I incorrect? From what I have concluded, the supplements on the market also have the same issue. (not enough active ingredients to give any of the health benifits). Again, please correct me if I am wrong.

I second the motion on alkaline verses acid. The web has really confused me on what is and isn’t alkaline. There is an agreement that lemon is alkaline and this does help in acid reflux, but you have to leave the sugar out. More on this topic would be awesome for me.

Thanks for all the help!
