In studies of biotivia transmax, a lab grade concentrate of resveratrol used by reseachers, this compound also exhibited important neuroprotective effects against Alzheimers and Parkinsons disease. Resveratrol research could lead to a non-toxic and inexpensive treatment which operates at the gene level to intercept these diseases. Trials are currently underway at Colombia University and Woods Hole Institute as well as several European institutes on biotivia transmax and Dr. Sinclair is developing a synthetic variation of it which will be sold as a prescription drug, if eventually approved by the FDA.
