RESVERATROL
Resveratrol is a compound found in peanuts,
grapes, and red wine that is full of polyphenols.
Because it has a great number of polyphenols,
it works very similar to green tea extract. Resver-
atrol can, therefore, inhibit aromatase, which will
lead to a reduction in estrogen (estradiol).
Much of the research conducted on resvera-
trol has investigated its anti-cancer properties,
with little evidence on its ability to work as a
bodybuilding supplement. Regardless, the
research has shown that it reduces estrogen, so
the potential is there for it to work as a supple-
ment. More evidence is needed and emerging
in human studies, but it looks promising.
Dosing depends on several factors, such as
age, health, and other conditions. Currently
there are no strict dosing guidelines for how
much to take, so it’s best to follow the man-
ufacturers’ dosing recommendations of your
selected supplement. Try not to exceed about
250 milligrams each day, as it can potentially
have interactions with other medications and
supplements.
Eradicate by Blackstone Labs relies on two different
suicide aromatase inhibitors to prevent estrogen
levels from getting too high. The formula also con-
tains alpha-lipoic acid, which offers a slew of health
benefi ts besides helping to balnce hormones.
