There comes a time to reveal a trade secret.  Longevinex® has combined resveratrol + vitamin D in its patented formula for many years now.  It is only recently becoming known that these two fat-soluble nutrients synergize each other, revealing why Longevinex® has exceeded the biological activity of plain resveratrol by many fold in lab dish and animal experiments.

Sunshine produces vitamin D in the skin which is converted to its active form (calcitriol) in the kidneys.  A doorway for vitamin D to exert its effects inside cells is called the VITAMIN D RECEPTOR, a protein that controls target genes inside cells.  The Vitamin D Receptor binds to the active form of vitamin D (calcitriol) and regulates genes.

RESVERATROL (rez-vare-ah-trol), known as a red wine molecule, combines with vitamin D and targets many of the same genes as vitamin D.

Vitamin D also works to enhance resveratrol, improving its absorption by 34-220% in one experiment while the quantity of vitamin D in blood plasma was also increased.  So resveratrol and vitamin D work mutually to produce optima biological effects.

Resveratrol is known to reduce the size of a heart attack.  The amount of scarred tissue is minimized due to resveratrol activating protective internal antioxidants prior to a heart attack.  When resveratrol is combined with vitamin D this heart-protective effect is enhanced even further.  Longevinex® has been demonstrated to reduce scarring of heart tissue after a heart attack in a superior manner to plain resveratrol, and now it becomes apparent vitamin D plays a role in producing that protective effect.

Here are bullet points that extol the combined action of vitamin D + resveratrol:

• Vitamin D is known to exert its own antibiotic action via molecules called cathelicidins.  There is greater immunity against infectious disease demonstrated  when resveratrol is combined with vitamin D.
• Vitamin D + resveratrol exerts greater anti-inflammatory action.
• Resveratrol with vitamin D has a stronger influence over human metabolism than either molecule alone.
• Vitamin D + resveratrol exerted stronger ability to prevent memory loss in aging laboratory mice, but only when combined.
• Vitamin D + resveratrol has been lauded as a better way to allay hot flashes in post-menopausal females.
• Resveratrol + vitamin D magnify the effect of the Klotho gene which is known for its anti-aging properties.
