Resveratrol
from Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed) root
Resveratrol is a wildcrafted plant compound known as a polyphenol and naturally occurs in grapes, dark chocolate, various berries and some herbs. In a trans-form for easy absorption, resveratrol provides a rich source of antioxidants that help to combat the damaging effects that medications, pollution, UV rays and dietary choices have on cell health.

Ingredient Benefits
Antioxidant compound
Resveratrol supplementation increases energy expenditure, improves metabolism and promotes overall wellbeing. It does this by reducing the resting metabolic rate and improving muscle mitochondrial respiration.
Protecting heart and blood vessels with antioxidants
The antioxidants in resveratrol can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are produced in our bodies because of normal cell energy production or from external damaging influences (i.e., UV radiation, chemicals, etc.). The cardiovascular system is especially sensitive to the effects of free radicals. One reason is that our heart is a muscle that is working all the time to push blood throughout our bodies.
Extracted from sustainable Japanese knotweed
While red grapes are high in resveratrol, they are often extremely costly and require massive amounts of energy, chemicals and environmental resources to grow, maintain and extract nutrients from. AOR’s Resveratrol is sourced from wildcrafted Japanese knotweed. Japanese knotweed is listed by the World Conservation Union (UICN) as one of the world’s 100 most invasive species. Rather than horticulture societies attempting to eradicate these weeds with herbicides releasing harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, AOR is contributing to manual control by using the knotweed as our preferred source of resveratrol.
