Peter Attia on Resveratrol: Unpacking Health Claims

Dr. Peter Attia is one of the most respected voices in longevity science, known for his methodical, no-nonsense approach to healthspan optimisation.

Resveratrol — a polyphenol found in red grapes, berries, and peanuts — has been a long-standing part of the longevity conversation. And while some view it as overhyped, Peter Attia’s analysis offers a more grounded view: promising, but far from conclusive.

Here’s what Attia has actually said about resveratrol — and how you can explore similar benefits with For Youth’s high-purity formulation.

Resveratrol is a polyphenolic antioxidant linked to:

• Activating sirtuins , longevity-related genes

• Mimicking caloric restriction (which slows ageing in animals)

• Reducing oxidative stress and inflammation

• Supporting cardiovascular health

• Potential benefits for metabolic health , gut health , and brain function

It’s also been explored as a possible anti-cancer , anti-diabetes , and anti-ageing compound.

• Most promising evidence comes from animal studies

• Human trials remain inconclusive

• Dosage, bioavailability, and individual response are crucial factors

• More large-scale clinical trials are needed before making strong claims

• Resveratrol may be helpful — but it’s not a magic bullet

He sees it as one potential tool among many — worth exploring, but not a substitute for fundamentals like sleep, exercise, and metabolic health.

The Grape – Resveratrol delivers:

• 99% pure trans-resveratrol , the most bioactive form

• Extracted from Japanese knotweed (Hu Zhang)

• Designed for optimal antioxidant support and longevity activation

• 3rd-party tested and bottled in Singapore

This aligns with Attia’s focus on purity, evidence, and effectiveness — making it a smart, science-backed way to explore the compound’s potential.

Even with cautious optimism, resveratrol offers a range of potential benefits:

• 🧬 Sirtuin activation (longevity genes)

• ❤️ Heart health support

• 🧠 Neuroprotection and reduced cognitive decline

• 🔥 Inflammation modulation

• ⚖️ Metabolic support (blood sugar, insulin sensitivity)

Its effects are most pronounced when paired with NAD+ precursors like NMN or NR — which fuel the same pathways resveratrol activates.

Resveratrol is generally well-tolerated at moderate doses, but potential risks include:

• Interference with blood clotting (caution if on anticoagulants)

• Possible oestrogen-like effects in sensitive individuals

• Mild digestive issues like nausea or diarrhoea at high doses

As always, consult a healthcare provider — especially if you’re on medication or managing a chronic condition.

Peter Attia recommends:

• Starting with low doses

• Paying attention to timing (often taken with meals)

• Monitoring personal response over time

• Stacking resveratrol with exercise, good sleep, and clean nutrition — not using it as a shortcut

The Grape – Resveratrol is easy to integrate into your morning or evening stack — especially when combined with NMN or NR.

If you’re building a longevity stack that’s inspired by experts but grounded in evidence , The Grape is an ideal place to start.

Combine it with NMN or NR. Stack it with good habits. And treat it as a tool — not a miracle.
