With a family history of heart disease and me aging at the standard rate, I begin taking resveratrol as a preventive to health problems. However, I was very pleased to notice improved recovery and some unexpected hypertrophy increases upon taking it for a few weeks. I'm not sure of the mechanism though am suspecting a slight boost in free T, but regardless, the research coming out on it is convincing and based on family history, it's a supplement I don't like to go without.
