Definitely not placebic. Buccal is at least 100x more effective at reaching therapeutic plasma levels. The concern that the conjugated-forms are inactive, but it is now believed that the bulk of the in-vivo activity is attributable to the glucuronide and sulfate forms.
One way of administering resveratrol in humans appears to be buccal delivery, that is without swallowing, by direct absorption through the inside of the mouth. When one mg of resveratrol in 50 mL solution was retained in the mouth for one min before swallowing, 37 ng/ml of free resveratrol were measured in plasma two minutes later. This level of unchanged resveratrol in blood can only be achieved with 250 mg of resveratrol taken in a pill form.
Quote from shortie:
i am still skeptical about resveratrol great usefulness for people with any currently available delivery types. here is my reasoning:
it is very easy to show the results in fat mice: split them in two groups (resveratrol vs placebo) and monitor them on a tredmill for 1-2 months. the mice become noticeably physically fit just by taking
resveratrol. now where is the data in humans (using buccal delivery or whatever other delivery method)?
the experiment should be easy to do as there is no shortage of overweight people and there is not shortage of resveratrol on the shelves in the stores. do scientists/doctors not care about one of the greatest medical discoveries of the century? do they not care about doing a quick and easy study and publishing a huge paper? the simplest explanation is that the effect is small if any.

Don't take it. You want to get into some masturbatory circular argument where you repeat yourself. It's not a license to eat a Wendy's triple Baconator meal and wash it down with some resveratrol.
Then, a man well in his fifties gets on the treadmill and jams it and does the same but at a higher speed. Then, a pregnant woman gets on the treadmill and runs like a gazelle!!! :eek: Pissed, I jam mine treadmill up only to get a terrible cramp on my side. I worked through it since this has happened to me before, but it never really went away. The alcohol probably dehydrated me and I didn't hydrate very well. I managed a light work out in-spite of myself, but it was the first time I felt like I was fighting my body.Quote from atticus:
