Resveratrol Side Effects, Benefits, Dosage, and Research Information - My Resveratrol Experience

11th Week: Switched to 99% Micronized Trans-Resveratrol Capsules

I originally planned to increase my trans-resveratrol dosage to 1.5 grams per day.  Now I have a change in plans!  The supplier I use for resveratrol came out with a 99% micronized trans-resveratrol in capsule form.  For me this is ultimately what I've been looking for.  You see, I have trouble with the powder forms and mixing it into drinks.  I greatly prefer to take a capsule then a mixed drink.

Due to the increased bioavailability of micronized resveratrol I've reduced my dose back down to 500mg per day.  I am going to continue with this dosage for 7-10 days and will then increase the dosage to 1 gram on training days followed by 500mg on off days.  Once I feel my body has adjusted I'll increase to 1 gram per day on all days.

A little history on micronization (for more detail see my previous post on micronization).

My First Week on Resveratrol!!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008, was my first experience with Resveratrol.  After a long search for what I felt to be the best brand (i'll go into more detail about my search a little later) I took my first capsule; a 500mg dose of 99% pure trans-resveratrol.  I must say, after all the research I had done I was excited to get started and see results.  Ok, so I didn't feel anything the first day.

The next two days I took the Resveratrol at 1:00pm both days.  This happened to be a weekend in which case I was off from working out those two days.  I was eager to feel something but again didn't notice...
