Customer Reviews

How much resveratrol is actually in this product?
The figure of 200mg this product claims is extremely deceptive. It tells me nothing about the amount of total resveratrol in the product nor does it tell you how much of this is Trans-resveratrol, the isomer responsible for the health effects of resveratrol in all of the in vitro and human trials. Conversely there is no information on the amount of the cis-resveratrol isomer, which nullifies the effect of Trans-resveratrol. Resveratrol is not an easy supplement to manufacture properly. It is subject to oxidation and degradation by UV exposure. Only one company here protects their supplement from these effects by active packaging. It is not this one. What good is a supplement if it does not arrive in potent active form. When something appears to be too good to be true there is almost always a good explanation. In this case the explanation is being hidden from us.

200 mg trans-resveratrol as promised...slow down and READ, critics!
I just CALLED Now Foods and spoke to a representative who confirmed that this product DOES CONTAIN 200 mg of trans-resveratrol. They are unlikely to lie given that this company meets the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines for supplements--they would lose a lot of customers if they misrepresented their products and lost this certification. THe GMP certification logo is the green triangle on the bottom right of the label.

The vast majority of the resveratrol in this product is from the 400 mg of Japanese Knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) in each capsule, NOT the grapeseed extract. I mention this because most of the negative reviewers out there probably saw that this product contains 10 mg of grapeseed extract, then assumed that's where the resveratrol was coming from. Nevertheless, you can even wiki "polygonum cuspidatum" and see that it's a great source of resveratrol!

As for the amount cis-resveratrol found in the product, here is a statement from Now Foods: "The Resveratrol used in NOW Foods Pometrol V-capsules comes from Polygonum cuspidatum root extract and DOES NOT exhibit any HPLC detectable amounts of cis-isomer."

Do your research!
You get what you pay for -- the price is low, but so is the amount of resveratrol! This product has 100 mg per capsule, and of that only 10 mg is what you are looking for when shopping for resveratrol. I took it for ten days without noticing any difference, then went back to read my research again, which recommends at least 150 mg of TRANS-resveratrol per day to realize any benefit. After doubling the dose, I still did not see or feel any difference. I won't be reordering this product -- I've purchased another product with much higher concentration of trans-resv to try when this bottle is finished. It is probably better than NOT taking any, but the magical results did not happen with this product.
