Here's another great reason. Reveratrol has been shown to possess activity not just as an anti-estrogen, but also as an anti-androgen. Harada et al found that resveratrol down-regulates the androgen receptor by enhancing its rate of degradation. Wang et al found that reveratrol reduced gene expression "through inhibition of both androgen- and estrogen-mediated transcription." Finally, Wang-feng Shi et al, in a study published just recently, found that resveratrol "regulates AR target gene expression, at least in part, by repressing AR transcriptional activity." I don't know about you guys, but I love repressing androgen receptor activity.
Seriously, why would anyone want to use a proven, third generation, pharmaceutical Aromatase inhibitor (AI) when they can take an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) that also has good chance of being an anti-androgen? post cycle therapy (pct) is a great time for anti-androgens.
Good test tube studies, but probably about as irrelevant as resveratrols Aromatase inhibitor (AI) abilities.
We actually don't even promote the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) properties of resveratrol anymore. Res supplementation just doesn't have much effect on total E1 or E2 levels in humans.
However the vasodilatory effects are a proven benefit with obvious erectile benefits. There is actually a new human study coming out on resveratrol and vasodilation. (if it isnt published already) The glucose lowering and blood sugar benefits have been recently demonstrated in a human Canadian study too... another nice benefit.
