What to know
The "red wine" antioxidant. Lab results haven't translated into clear human benefits, partly due to poor absorption. You'd need far more than wine provides.
Interactions & cautions
- May mildly thin blood and affect drug metabolism.
Do you actually need it?
Compelling in test tubes, underwhelming in people.
