Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says Dr. Oz.
who featured Biotiva's Transmax on television recentlyand admitted
that he now takes the natural supplement daily because it is effective.
Red wine alone does not supply enough resveratrol to achieve the
full range of benefits. You need to take high potency resveratrol
supplements to achieve the results documented in scientific studies.
Resveratrol Supplements not only regenerate mitochondria
but can also help you control your weight naturally
by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting your appetite.
Resveratrol also enables you to function with less sleep, concentrate more easily,
resist serious disease and dramatically increases endurance with no side effects.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of "Red Wine Grape Complex", to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product's label.

Holy crap. I wouldn't have imagined the army undertaking a project to genetically or chemically create modified "super" soldiers. Maybe as a secret project, but out in the open? Will raise a lot of ethical concerns. But I am quite psyched about the prospects of this technology.

Cool! Right on!

Nick Lane's Book, "Power, Sex, and Suicide" is all about mitochondria. He makes a very compelling argument that aging is due exclusively to mutant mitochondria. He makes another compelling argument that the endosymbiosis that resulted in the Eukaryote is a significantl y improbable event that it likely has not occurred anywhere else in the galaxy.
