Resveratrol is a nutraceutical that originally became famous as a compound found in red wine that may contribute to the "French paradox" - the unexpectedly low mortality rate from cardiovascular disease in the Mediterranean population despite relatively higher saturated fat intake.1 Subsequently, excitement blossomed when studies showed that resveratrol contributed to the SIRT-1 gene which is associated with longevity.2 While additional research has since shown a number of potential health benefits associated with resveratrol supplementation, the topic of this blog is the effectiveness of resveratrol as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Whilein vitroand animal studies certainly demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol, this nutraceutical was able to effectively suppress oxidative and inflammatory stress even in healthy people with just 40 mg/day.3 This was demonstrated by the reduction of inflammatory markers such as TNF-alpha, IL-6 and C-reactive protein, with no changes in the placebo group. Another study in postmenopausal women with osteoarthritis pain concluded that 75 mg of resveratrol twice daily significantly reduced pain and improved overall well-being.4

Ulcerative colitis has also responded to treatment with resveratrol. In one study5, 56 UC patients who received 500 mg of resveratrol per day showed significant improvement in symptoms, reduced malondialdehyde (a highly reactive compound for oxidative stress) and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as total antioxidant capacity. In other studies6 of 50 UC patients, 500 mg of resveratrol per day reduced the activity of inflammatory compounds, including TNF-α, hs-CRP, and NF-κB activity.

Additionally, in a study7 of firefighters who received 100 mg of resveratrol per day for 90 days, plasma biomarkers of inflammation following a physical fitness test were reduced, including IL-6 and TNF-α.

Resveratrol should clearly be considered as part of a protocol for patients requiring anti-inflammatory treatment.
