Another beneficial compound in grapes called resveratrol has been found to support the immune<br />

response and act as an antioxidant. Laboratory studies show that resveratrol may support mutant cell<br />

destruction and inhibit mutant cell proliferation. 84, 85 Research shows that resveratrol protects against<br />

certain types of oxidative damage in the brain and in the lining of the bowel. 86,87 It also appears to have<br />

a protective effect on estrogen sensitive cells in the breast and prostate.<br />

Hawthorn Berry<br />

This medicinal berry is derived from the hawthorn flower, and it is<br />

traditionally used as a general tonic to help maintain heart health and normal<br />

blood pressure. Hawthorn berry appears to support a regular heartbeat and<br />

increase metabolism in the heart muscle. This powerful herb contains<br />

Inositol<br />

Inositol is an important component of cell membranes and is found naturally in the brain and nerve<br />

tissue. It supports heart health by working to remove fats from the liver and metabolize cholesterol. It<br />

is also an important component of the Central Nervous System, and it is necessary for nerve and<br />

motor function in the muscles. 91,92,93 Inositol may play a role in DNA repair, nuclear RNA export and<br />

synaptic membrane trafficking. 94<br />

Iodine<br />

Iodine is an essential element that plays a critical role in the production of thyroid hormones. These<br />

hormones help regulate metabolism and play important roles in growth and development. A<br />

deficiency of iodine in the diet can cause hypothyroidism and even lead to goiter, which is a condition<br />

whereby the thyroid gland becomes enlarged as it tries to make thyroid hormone. The deficiency is<br />

more prevalent in women than in men, and more common in pregnant women and adolescents. The<br />

best preventative measure is to consume adequate iodine levels. 95<br />
