The Claim
Daily supplementation with 150 mg of trans-resveratrol for 24 months in postmenopausal women aged 65 and older resulted in a relative improvement in verbal memory compared to postmenopausal women under 65.
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.
Postmenopausal women aged 65 and older who took 150 mg of trans-resveratrol daily for two years showed better verbal memory than those under 65 who took the same supplement.
See the scientific wording
In postmenopausal women aged 65 and older, daily supplementation with 150 mg of trans-resveratrol for 24 months led to a relative improvement in verbal memory compared to women under 65, suggesting age-dependent cognitive benefits.
Resveratrol activates a cellular enzyme that boosts nitric oxide production in blood vessels of the brain, making them wider and allowing more blood to flow. This increased blood supply delivers more oxygen and fuel to brain cells involved in memory, which improves the ability to recall words and facts, especially in older women.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that older women (65+) who took resveratrol daily for two years remembered words and facts better than younger women who took the same supplement, suggesting it helps memory more as women get older.
