The Claim
Resveratrol supplementation at doses of 100–500 mg/day for 8–24 weeks has no significant effect on metabolic, vascular, or functional outcomes in older adults with type 2 diabetes or peripheral artery disease compared to placebo.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking resveratrol supplements for 8 to 24 weeks does not improve metabolic health, blood vessel function, or physical performance in older adults with type 2 diabetes or peripheral artery disease compared to taking a placebo.
See the scientific wording
In older adults with type 2 diabetes or peripheral artery disease, resveratrol supplementation (100–500 mg/day for 8–24 weeks) shows no significant benefit over placebo for metabolic, vascular, or functional outcomes, indicating it is not an effective intervention for these conditions.
In older people with diabetes or poor blood flow, resveratrol does not turn on the cellular signals that improve sugar use or blood vessel function, so nothing changes in their metabolism or circulation.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Effects and safety of resveratrol supplementation in older adults: A comprehensive systematic review
For older adults with diabetes or poor leg circulation, taking resveratrol pills didn’t help them control blood sugar, walk better, or improve other health measures any more than taking a sugar pill. So, it doesn’t work for these conditions.
