Japanese Knotweed is a large herbaceous plant that originates in East Asia and has been related with Chinese herbal medicine for thousands of years. The plant grows prolifically, having the natural ability to emit its own natural herbicide that kills off many of the competitive plants in its vicinity. This is the main reason that in some countries (including the US and the UK), it is classed as an invasive species. The fact remains though that it is still commercially the most prolific source of Resv and for that reason it is encouraged and cultivated in many areas. Amongst the diseases that it is believed Resv may help to prevent are: cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer, Diabetes, and insulin resistance, and it is the Diabetes and insulin resistance that has a relevance in terms of weight loss. The research that was carried out on mice, found that as well as slowing down the aging process and keeping the test subjects healthy, the Resv supplement also stopped the mice from gaining any weight. It has also been discovered, that in humans it serves to suppress estrogen metabolites which helps to reduce body fat and facilitate muscle gain, which in turn stimulates the metabolic rate thereby increasing the amount of body fat (and calories) that are burned off naturally. It was during research on the aging process being undertaken by Doctor David Sinclair that the age slowing characteristic of ResVeratrol was discovered. A number of tests were then carried out on mice that were given a ResVeratrol supplement, and the results showed conclusively that the mice not only lived 30% longer, but they did not gain any weight, nor did they contract any of the illnesses that are associated with growing old.
