tks.  I have not been able to get info from Healthy Lifespan Institute of their pure resveratrol.

Hi,

To respond to the last post: No elevation of emodin, I would say it will basically eliminate all but traces of emodin in the products. I believe this will make folks concerned about emodin happy.

We may create new products, as we move completely over to the micronized synthetic resveratrol material.

Cheers

Just a quick update…

We are in agreement and are following Dr. B and Dr. Sinclair's lead on synthetic resveratrol. This morning I have agreed to move to synthetics as long as we continue following our safety tests for clean pure trans-resvertatol, without any solvents or chemicals used in the process.

DSM is a good company, however we will not be purchasing their synthetic resveratrol at this time as the COA shown in my previous post shows that more than one company can produce a spectacular product.

We will be providing fully tested synthetic resveratrol wholesale for manufacturers and retail to the public in the coming year. The new synthetic product simply rivals anything on the market today, including DSM's good looking product. In the end, it is the same molecule we will both offering to manufacturers and the general public.

I believe it will simply be a great year for consumers, and RevGenetics is honored to be a part of it. Feel free to contact ('orders@revgenetics.com') if you are a manufacturer who is considering synthetics as well.

Cheers

motie2 said:With synthetic resveratrols, is there any concern that there will be non-naturally occuring contaminants with side-effects? Not sure if contaminants from polygonum are any safer though. Does anyone know? M.

Hi, when we were verifying synthetic purity, we asked our source to list all the chemicals that are used in it's production. Personally I know that synthetics do not use typical "ethanol-only" extraction, and had to sign NDAs regarding the chemical list we were provided.

We tested for all of the harmfull chems for the synthetic we are considering. I really hope other folks do the same, as the FDA does not require a manufacturer to ask and test for all the chemicals used to produce the material. We simply could not accept the sources lab results, we have a higher standard and have to test for all the chemicals ourselves, through an independent lab that has no horse in the race.

The fact is, that if I personally don't like the batch tests… it isn't released, regardless if it met Proposition 65 standards: http://www.oehha.org/prop65.html. I have a personal stake since I take up to 2 grams a day of resveratrol, and require very clean and safe resveratrol for myself.

We hope that any synthetic resveratrol that is offered, is simply tested properly.

 Without a doubt, testing is a major selling point for the discriminating consumer. COA's, batch and lot testing all contribute to consistent quality, this insures customer satisfaction.  There may be advantages with synthetic for the consumer.

We have spoken to DSM which makes Resvida, and the COA we have seen shows a 98% tran-resveratrol purity which is darn good.

However, I have seen higher 99% purities from polygonum plant, and from other synthetics in other countries.

If Sinclair believes that 98% (or better) Synthetics are the way to go, we will change our product line to include 99% synthetics as well… and it will not be from China.

Sinclair's reccomendation simply has enough weight to make us change the way we do business.

Ive researched this and found there is not a 100% pure product. I am not a shill, but the best product I have found is from a board sponsor at Imminst. There are high purity, micronized, low-emodin content products there from a concientious vendor. I have discovered that micronization, purity, and low emodin are crucial in long term supplementation of Resveratrol, at least for my "almost a senior citizen" physiology. 

Take a look at the sources of resveratrol used in various clinical trials (tables in the e-book) and also the casebook on resveratrol clinical trials at http://www.ResoundingHealth.com. You'll find one product that is not derived from plants and is available at Costco.

Anyone know a good place to get 100% or near pure resveratrol?  From a vendor I can trust? Ive heard theres a Health and Longevity Institute being started by Christophe Westphal, CEO of Sirtris.  Anyone know more about this?  Thanks, R.
