But it’s difficult to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet. Good news: research indicates that resveratrol triggers some of the same gene-expression changes as calorie restriction—making it an excellent anti-aging nutrient.1 Augmented with quercetin This formula also contains quercetin, a bioflavonoid that inhibits oxidative stress, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and helps to maintain already healthy blood pressure levels.10-13 Quercetin is also being researched for its neuroprotective properties and ability to promote healthy cell division.14,15
