More publicity for the WineTime™ Bar
VITAMIN RETAILER
ResVez, Inc. and the WineTime Bar are featured in a Vitamin Retailer (May) article headlined "Building a Free Radical Defense."
The article says that antioxidants are big business and growing exponentially with the overall market valued at a whopping $12 billion in 2009. The increasing sales may be directly attributable to "demographic opportunity, ongoing research and consumer education via media coverage."
The article quoted one industry executive as saying, "More exotic antioxidants such as acai, cranberry, curcumin, goji, green tea, lycopene, pomegranate, pycnogenol and resveratrol are capturing significant market attention."
Five of these ingredients are in the WineTime Bar!

The article went on to extensively quote ResVez CEO and president Malcolm Nicholl about the growing consumer awareness of resveratrol and the increasing scientific research--both animal and human studies.
DEFINING TRENDS
Another publication, Defining Trends Magazine, presented the WineTime Bar in its centerfold "Trendspotting!" feature.
The article stated, "A growing body of research is proving the benefits of resveratrol (found in red wine) as a heart-protective, life-extending element. Now you can 'imbibe' as much resveratrol as contained in 50 glasses of red wine in one low calorie, anti-oxidant-rich, high-fiber bar. Without the alcohol. Without the hangover. Combined with dates, almonds, and seven super fruits, the WineTime Bar is a unique, unparalleled healthy indulgence."
"NOT YOUR AVERAGE BAR... AMAZING...EXCELLENT"
The following review appeared on the site energybarreviews.com.
"This is an amazing combination of ingredients that features taste and the benefits of red wine extract and resveratrol. This is not your average bar...it contains tons of chocolate and fruit powders.
"Everything in this bar is well chosen and well made, down to the crisps that are made from tapioca (from the manioc root), soy, and cocoa. This is an excellent way to get your anti-aging supplements while snacking. The price is slightly higher than other bars, but for what you're getting in this bar, the price could easily have been even higher."

NEW RESEARCH SHOWS
Why the WineTime™ Bar is so good for you!
KEY INGREDIENTS MAY
▪ PREVENT STROKE DAMAGE
▪ IMPROVE BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN
▪ EASE COLITIS
Wine and chocolate. It's an unbeatable combination. When we came up with the idea of putting resveratrol--the powerful antioxidant found in red wine--into a gourmet nutrition bar the one and only choice of flavor was chocolate.
First and foremost we knew we had to create a unique bar both from nutritional and taste standpoints. Review the nutritional profile (http://www.winetimebar.com/winetime-nutrition-facts.php) and taste a bar for yourself (if you haven't already done so) and you'll know exactly what we mean.
But perhaps most exciting of all is the fact that not only does more and more research continue to validate the potential health benefits of resveratrol--but also the health benefits of chocolate. Yes, chocolate.
Here is news about four different studies published in just the last few weeks.
Resveratrol and chocolate may help stroke victims
Resveratrol and chocolate may both help protect the brain from the devastating effects of a stroke.
That's according to a series of mice experiments conducted at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
In the first "stroke study," the scientists induced an ischemic stroke by cutting off blood supply to the brains of mice two hours after being fed a single modest dose of resveratrol. They found that the mice that had ingested the resveratrol suffered significantly less brain damage than those that had not been given the compound.
Associate professor and lead researcher Sylvain Doré, Ph.D., says his study suggests that resveratrol increases levels of an enzyme (heme oxygenase) already known to shield nerve cells in the brain from damage. When the stroke hits, the brain is ready to protect itself because of the elevated enzyme levels.
"Our study adds to evidence that resveratrol can potentially build brain resistance to ischemic stroke," says Doré.
Professor Dore's group conducted similar research feeding mice a single modest dose of epicatechin, a compound found naturally in dark chocolate. They induced a stroke after 90 minutes and found that the animals that had been given the epicatechin suffered significantly less brain damage than the ones that had not.
Eventually, Doré says, he hopes his research could lead to insights into limiting acute stroke damage and possibly protecting against chronic neurological degenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and other age-related cognitive disorders.
Resveratrol may boost blood flow in the brain
High doses of resveratrol may improve blood flow in the brain and potentially boost brain health, say results of a new human study from the UK.
A single dose of 250 or 500 milligrams of resveratrol was found to boost blood flow in the brain, according to findings published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
"The results of the current study provide the first indication in humans that resveratrol may be able to modulate cerebral blood flow variables," wrote the researchers from the Brain, Performance and Nutrition Research Centre at Northumbria University.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, the researchers randomly gave a group of 22 healthy adults either 250 or 500 milligrams of trans-resveratrol or a placebo. Forty-five minutes later the blood flow and cognitive performance of the participants was measured over a 36 minute period.
Resveratrol produced an increase in cerebral blood flow relevant to the amount of resveratrol received--but no increase in the placebo group. The researchers also noted an increase in levels of deoxyhemoglobin after both doses of resveratrol, which they said was indicative of increased oxygen extraction and utilization. Cognitive performance was not improved. Chronic colitis patients could benefit from resveratrol Resveratrol can have a significant beneficial effect in chronic DSS-induced colitis, according to a new study from Spain.
The goal of the research, published in the European Journal of Pharmacology, was to examine the protective/preventive effects of resveratrol intake on chronic dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis to help identify and validate new therapies for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Six-week-old mice were randomized into two groups, with one group on a standard diet and the other on a diet enriched with resveratrol equivalent to a 154 lb. person taking a 30 mg supplement.
After 30 days, mice were exposed to 3 per cent DSS for five days developing acute colitis that progressed to severe chronic inflammation after 21 days of water, they added.
Resveratrol reduced the severity and extension of progressive chronic colonic damage and also significantly counteracted the clinical signs such as loss of body weight, diarrhea and rectal bleeding thus reducing the inflammatory process.
Moreover, all of the resveratrol-fed animals survived and finished the treatment while 40 percent of animals fed with standard diet died. |
