Main sources
1. Grapes: Grapes are one of the important sources of resveratrol, especially in grape skins and grape seeds. In the process of making wine, the resveratrol in the grape skin will be dissolved by alcohol, so red wine also contains a certain amount of resveratrol.
2. Peanuts: Peanuts are also an important source of resveratrol, especially in peanut shells and peanut red skins. These parts are usually discarded during processing, but in recent years, with the in-depth study of resveratrol, people have begun to try to extract resveratrol from peanut shells and red skins.
3. Polygonum cuspidatum: Polygonum cuspidatum is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, and its rhizomes contain high levels of resveratrol. Polygonum cuspidatum is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of diseases, such as rheumatism, damp-heat jaundice, etc.
4. Mulberry: Mulberry is the fruit of the mulberry tree, which also contains a certain amount of resveratrol. Mulberry is often used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat symptoms such as liver and kidney yin deficiency, dizziness, etc.
Resveratrol is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and has been found in many plants of multiple families. In addition to the grapes, peanuts, knotweed and mulberry mentioned above, there are many plants such as Veratrum, honeysuckle, cypress, pine, etc. that also contain resveratrol. These plants are distributed all over the world, so the source of resveratrol is relatively abundant.
Resveratrol has a variety of biological activities and effects, such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular protection, anti-cancer, etc. Therefore, it has broad application prospects in the fields of medicine, health products, cosmetics, etc. With the continuous deepening of research on resveratrol, people will have a more comprehensive understanding of its biological activity and efficacy, and its application in various fields will also be more extensive.
