As someone that has tried a few different types of Resveratrol, I would say, yes, it is better to use pure. However I do believe it is enhabced by other supplements, such as; MCT-Quercetin, R-lipoic acid, Glutamine, Tocotrienols, Whey protein, fruit juice and regular weight-bearing exercise. Of course, some would cry, "Bullshit" and all I would say to them is: Try it and see. Its called maturity. These forums are all about shareing information and experiences in order to gain greater knowledge. They are not a breeding ground for intolerance, hatred, and the mockery of other posters.
