    SAN DIMAS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- While molecular biologists
 and news reporters present jaw-dropping evidence that a red wine molecule
 called resveratrol may usher in the advent of anti-aging pills, other
 researchers report that a matrix of small natural molecules, such as those
 in Longevinex(R), exert far greater effects than resveratrol alone. For
 example, a recently reported human study found the Longevinex(R) dietary
 supplement is superior to green tea.

     And while Barbara Walters (ABC News) interviews senior Americans who
 are living vibrantly active lives beyond the age of 100, she also
 interviews experts who now say small molecules that can influence the
 genetic machinery within living cells, concentrated in pill form, may make
 it possible for Americans to live 150 healthy years on a regular basis.
 
     An optimal matrix for nutraceuticals would provide molecules found in
 grapes, sesame seeds, onions and apple peels which appear to work
 additively and synergistically, even exerting a greater effect upon the
 human genome than plain resveratrol.
 
     While many of the beneficial effects of these natural molecules appear
 to be dose dependent, requiring doses that exceed those found in foods,
 there may be diminishing returns when supra-high doses of these molecules
 are employed.
 
     For example, one study shows that extreme doses resveratrol may impair
 the uptake of folic acid (vitamin B9) by intestinal cells. Folic acid is an
 essential nutrient required for repair of DNA gene strands and is utilized
 by the body to limit the amount of an undesirable blood protein called
 homocysteine.
 
     Optimal health benefits appear to be achieved when consuming an array
 of polyphenolic molecules in the range of (100-200 milligrams), as provided
 in 2-3 glasses of aged red wine, or in well-designed nutraceuticals like
 Longevinex(R), which contain no alcohol. Supra-high dose resveratrol pills
 (500 mg or more) have recently been introduced, which may be
 counterproductive. For example, Achilles heel tendonitis is now widely
 reported when using supra-high dose resveratrol pills.
 
     Late in 2007 Steven R McAnulty, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the
 Health, Leisure, and Exercise Science department at Appalachian State
 University, in the first successful human study of a resveratrol
 supplement, reported that Longevinex(R), but not the primary active
 molecule (catechin) in green tea, significantly reduces markers of
 oxidation and inflammation among endurance athletes at modest doses. The
 results of that study were eventually reported at the Annual Meeting of the
 American College of Sports Medicine, Southeast Chapter in February, 2008.
