Should resveratrol only be white in color?

by | Mar 9, 2012 | Columns, Healing Lyme, Herbs, japanese knotweed | 1 comment

Dear Stephen,
I was looking for resveratrol 500mg, since the most I could find was 200 in Source Naturals and 250 in BlueBonnet. I came across a site that said (basically) if it isn’t white in color, you’re paying for filler. Could you comment on the site’s claims and let me know if they are correct so I can go with “pure trans-resveratrol from japanese knotweed”: megaresveratrol.net
Stephen’s response:
I generally only recommend the whole root herb in capsules from Green Dragon Botanicals at this point. The main thing if you are buying a resveratrol of one sort or another is whether it is in actuality a knotweed formulation merely STANDARDIZED for a certain percentage of one of the resveratrols. If so, fine. Go ahead and use it. However, if it is ONLY one of the resveratrols that have been EXTRACTED from the plant root, no.

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.

    The question wasn’t answered. Is it white or not?
