Resveratrol is believed to extend lifespan through its interaction with certain proteins and genes associated with aging. Studies in various organisms, including yeast, worms, flies, and mice, have shown promising results, indicating an increase in lifespan with resveratrol supplementation. | Resveratrol is believed to extend lifespan through its interaction with certain proteins and genes associated with aging.

In <ref name=":3">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4990206/</ref> mice fed a standard diet, high-calorie diet or high-calorie diet plus resveratrol. The study found that resveratrol helps mice on a high-calorie diet have similar health benefits to mice on a regular diet. This includes better lifespan, movement, insulin response, organ health, and improved mitochondrial function. Importantly, these benefits happened without the mice losing weight. | In <ref name=":3">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4990206/</ref> mice fed a standard diet, high-calorie diet or high-calorie diet plus resveratrol.
