Summary
Resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a stilbenoid, a type of natural phenol, and a phytoalexin produced by several plants in response to injury or when the plant is under attack by pathogens, such as bacteria or fungi. Sources of resveratrol in food include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, and peanuts.Although commonly used as a dietary supplement and studied in laboratory models of human diseases, there is no high-quality evidence that resveratrol improves lifespan or has a substantial effect on any human disease. (Source: Wiki)
Evidence Level
Level 0 (No convinced report of liver injury caused by herbal and dietary supplement)
Hepatotoxicity Description
Liver injury attributable to resveratrol has not been reported. In trials of resveratrol in human subjects, there have been no reports of serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver injury. Thus, hepatotoxicity due to resveratrol must be rare, if it occurs at all. (Source: LiverTox)
