Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol that can be found naturally in a variety of sources including grapes, Japanese knotweed (giant knotweed), berries, peanuts, dark chocolate and tea.

The most and popular sources of resveratrol are in red wine and grapes. Minute quantities of the antioxidant are also found in peanuts, but they are not used in supplementary applications. Instead, the Japanese knotweed plant is a very common source of resveratrol extracts in dietary supplements. Some people simply drink a glass or two of red wine each day in order to enjoy the health benefits of resveratrol. However, using a resveratrol supplement provides the benefits of hundreds, even thousands, of bottles of red wine in every pill.
