Resveratrol and Wine are a crazy combination. Not because it’s funny to think that alcohol could be healthy, but the way you drink wine is perfect for resveratrol.

Did you know that resveratrol is absorbed by the body best in the mouth? This is called buccal absorption. Well it just so happens that wine drinkers tend to pause before they swallow. Some even swish the wine around in their mouth and some sort of gurgle it to really assume the flavor.

Well those extra seconds in the mouth are what resveratrol needs to be absorbed into your blood the fastest and most efficient. It’s kinda like those pills you put under your tongue until they melt. Those kind are best absorbed in the mouth ‘buccal absorption’.

Well, pills are normally swallowed and their protective cases don’t let the resveratrol out until the pill is in the intestines. This might be good for digestive enzymes, cholesterol medications and amoxicillin – it’s no the best for resveratrol. It’s not even the best for headache medicines. Have you seen the kind that you rub on your forehead now? Science is starting to catch up with convenience.

To get the most from your resveratrol supplement, you really want one that is somewhat absorbed in the mouth – a liquid. You want one that is in individually sealed servings – most likely in powder form at that point. And you want one that has more than just resveratrol. Wine is healthy because it has lots of nutrients. If it just had resveratrol, scientists likely would never have studied it.
