Mechanism of action

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in grapes and red wine that acts as a sirtuin activator, particularly SIRT1, which regulates cellular metabolism and stress responses. It also functions as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB signaling. These mechanisms are proposed to support cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and cellular longevity.
