Resveratrol has applications in various fields such as medicine, cosmetology, and health maintenance, as listed below:
Pharmaceutical field
Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases: Resveratrol has excellent anti-thrombotic and anti-platelet aggregation effects, regulates blood cholesterol levels and inhibits platelet formation of blood clots through binding with estrogen receptors in the body, thus inhibiting and alleviating the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases in human beings. It also prevents blood atherosclerosis, improves the diastolic function of endothelial cells, and reduces factors that cause blood clots.
Anti-tumor: Resveratrol is a natural anti-tumor chemopreventive agent, which has good anti-cancer activity in the three stages of tumor initiation, promotion and expansion, and inhibits cancer cells at all stages, and has good curative effect on cancers such as gastric cancer, breast cancer and liver cancer.
Antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory: Resveratrol, as a natural plant antitoxin, can resist most of the bacteria that are harmful to the human body, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Cattacoccus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc., as well as certain viruses, such as Herpes Simplex Virus and Enterovirus. It can also inhibit the activity of inflammatory compounds when the body is inflamed, thus reducing the symptoms of inflammation. Relevant experimental studies have found that resveratrol has a certain inhibitory effect on coxsackievirus, the mechanism of which may be to inhibit the replication of the virus in the host cells through multiple pathways.
Others: The antioxidant effect of resveratrol is important for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and other important significance.
Cosmetic field
Skin care and cosmetics: The antioxidant and anti-aging effects of resveratrol make it highly valuable in the field of cosmetology. Skin care products and cosmetics containing resveratrol can resist skin oxidative stress, slow down skin aging and improve skin quality. It can accelerate the metabolism of the skin, which is conducive to the elimination of toxins and waste in the skin; replenish the skin with sufficient water and nutrients, increase the hydration performance and make the skin more moisturized; effectively remove free radicals in the body to achieve the effect of caring for the skin and slowing down the aging of the skin; and also consume the activity of tyrosinase to achieve the purpose of reducing the synthesis of melanin, so as to achieve the effect of whitening.
Health maintenance field
Health food and health care products: Resveratrol can improve the body’s antioxidant capacity and resist free radical damage, so it has a positive significance in maintaining good health. Health food and health supplements containing resveratrol are favored by consumers. For example, Resveratrol Dew belongs to the antioxidant fruit nutrition and health plant drinks, containing pure water, fruit glucose, resveratrol and other ingredients.
Male Reproductive Health: In the male reproductive system, oxidative stress can lead to decreased sperm quality. Resveratrol can stimulate the activity of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), promote antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, etc.) to inhibit the production of ROS and protect sperm. Relevant studies have shown that resveratrol-containing supplements can increase sperm concentration, count and viability, and also reduce DNA and lipid damage in cryopreserved spermatozoa. Resveratrol can also play an anti-inflammatory role by activating relevant signaling pathways and reducing the levels of inflammatory markers such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), creating a healthy environment for spermatogenesis and maturation.
