(But the benefits only come if you drink 250 glasses a day. Which we do not recommend. At all.)
Hey JOLTers,
Let’s talk about one of the real hard-hitters of anti-ageing, and funnily enough is one of our hero ingredients, who could’ve possibly seen that coming? Lol.
It’s one of the most exciting compounds in longevity science, (if you’re a nerd like Russ) and we put a big fat dose of it in JOLT. Not a sprinkle, not a polite amount, a proper, scientifically-backed 500mg whack.
Why? Because the research is building, and it’s compelling. And because we like to give you the good stuff, not just empty product descriptions where the main ingredient only has one little speck in the actual supplement.
What is trans-resveratrol?
It’s a plant compound found in red wine, grapes, berries and peanuts. It’s a polyphenol, which basically means it helps your cells keep their sh*t together when life gets stressful.
It’s been linked in early-stage research to things like:
Supporting cellular health
Activating sirtuins (genes linked to longevity)
Encouraging mitochondrial function (your cells’ energy plants)
Fighting oxidative stress and inflammation
Now, before you're in the Morrisons wine aisle with a scientific justification in hand, here’s the catch. You’d need to drink 250 glasses of red wine to match the amount of trans-resveratrol you get from one daily dose of JOLT.
Don’t you dare say that isn’t a catch in your eyes. That’s an A&E visit and a concerned intervention from your family.
So why is JOLT’s T-R better?
Glad you asked. Because trans-resveratrol is having a bit of a moment online. But a lot of what’s out there is pointless.
It’s the active form: We use trans-resveratrol, not cis-resveratrol or any of the weird unstable ones. Trans is the form shown to have the most biological activity and the one most studies are based on.
It’s hydrolysed for better absorption: Resveratrol is famously difficult for the body to absorb. So we use a hydrolysed version to improve how much your body can actually use. It doesn’t matter how good the ingredient is that you take, if it just gets p*ssed back out a couple of hours later.
We pair it with piperine: This is the active compound in black pepper. Piperine has been shown to enhance the bioavailability of certain nutrients (like trans-resveratrol). It basically gives legs to your T-R, so it can walk round the body and get things in line.
Our ingredients are third-party tested: Everything in JOLT is third-party tested for quality, purity, and to make sure what we say is in the bottle is actually in the bottle. Essentially, a lab takes our ingredients, and verifies “yep, that’s the s***”.
So, the bottom line:
Trans-resveratrol is one of the most promising compounds in the longevity world, but only when taken in the right dose, the right form, and the right context.
That’s why we didn’t just add it to JOLT, we made it one of our hero ingredients. We give you the good stuff, in a way your body can actually use, backed by real science (not TikTok science with a TikTok shop link), no offense TikTok shop, we’re coming for you next.
Basically, if JOLT was a supermarket, trans-resveratrol would be M&S.
If JOLT was a sandwich, trans-resveratrol would be the really good cheese.
If JOLT was a relationship... OK, you get the point.
If you’re already taking JOLT, pat yourself on the back (gently, don’t hurt yourself).
And if you’re not yet on board, what the hell, what the helly?
Catch you later,
The JOLT Team.
