Instructions

• 1

  Determine the recommended dosage of resveratrol for you based on the manufacturer's instructions. Most manufacturers will recommend between 500 mg and 1,500 mg daily and that you split up the daily recommended amount into three smaller doses rather than taking it all at once.

• 2

  Measure out the desired amount of resveratrol powder for a single dose.

• 3

  Stir the resveratrol powder into a glass of wine, juice or water. The active compounds in resveratrol work best when combined with antioxidants, so dissolving it in wine or an antioxidant-rich juice like pomegranate juice is preferable. Once the powder dissolves, drink the mixture.
