Resveratrol: Elixir for Longevity
Many scientists, researchers, and apothecaries alike believed they found the secret in pursuit of eternal youth, but unfortunately, they all took it to their graves. All jokes aside, the quest for prolonging life continues in modern day, but of course, time is the greatest evidence of what actually works.
In science, it is common that researchers exploring answers on one matter stumble upon discoveries on an entire unrelated subject. During one experiment, a pigment was injected into a single cell amoeba. While scientists observed the color changes of the amoeba, they discovered that the amoeba’s lifespan was double from what was normal. The miraculous findings revealed that the responsible pigment was resveratrol.
