Red wine has about 1.5 to 3mg of resveratrol per liter, so a 150lb person would need to drink 750 to 1500 bottles of red wine a day to get such a dose." Sounds like the tests Monsanto did to prove that Saccharin was carcinogenic - fed mice the equivalent of 1000 litres of Tab/day. Sometimes people go a tad overboard in their assumptions. Be careful of what you take... Take a look at this from an article in the New york Times; (Quote)”the mice were fed a hefty dose of resveratrol, 24 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.

The FDA has a provision for that, but very few earn such label, though, as it requires extensive (and expensive) testing and development similar to what pharmaceuticals do. Personally, I'd rather eat the real thing, if it confers the same effect. It's much more fun and satisfying than downing a pill :) Natural compounds can indeed by purified and sold as “nutraceuticals”.
