The name “resveratrol” comes from the fact that it’s a derivative of resorcinol and was first extracted from a species of Veratrum. D.

In fact, 75% to 90% of human disease is related to stress and inflammation, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Studies suggest that chronic stress results in glucocorticoid receptor resistance that, in turn, results in failure to down ...
