NEUROPROTECTIVE
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by neurological disorders.8 Many of these are in our genes, but supplements like TransResveratrol can help by slowing down the process and maybe even help in preventing neurological disorders. Resveratrol has several neuroprotective
roles that can help with neurodegenerative impairments, such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases as well as ALS. The protective effects improve mitochondrial functions.1 Mitochondria are known as the “powerhouse of the cell” and generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. In terms of Alzheimer’s prevention, resveratrol may protect nerve cells from damage and fight the plaque buildup that can lead to the disease.9
