Resveratrol Side Effects

While resveratrol is classified as a non-toxic substance by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration), there are still potential side effects you should be aware of.  Several studies have been completed using small dosages of resveratrol all the way up to over 2 gram dosage amounts in humans.  These studies were completed showing no adverse side effects.

It is important to note that while some research has been completed there is still a way to go before we have "all" the information we need about resveratrol.

Throughout my research online I have gathered numerous user accounts regarding how resveratrol has effected different individuals. The list below details the "negative" effects and I will follow-up with an article based on the "positive" effects very soon. (Positive Effects of Resveratrol)

• Stomach Cramping and Diarrhea: this is typically caused by lower quality supplements containing large amounts of emodin.
• Joint Pains: arthritic symptoms have been reported. Stiff joints and pains in the wrist and ankles specifically.
• Numbness in the Extremeties: typically in the fingers and toes.
• A rise in Blood Pressure: most commonly occuring soon after consumption.
• Insomnia, Sensitivity to Temperatures, Heart Palpatations, Discolored Urine.

Remember these side effects were reported by users but not backed up by scientific evidence.  There is no proof that these effects weren't from what is known as "Placebo Effect." Placebo effect is the act by which your mind makes you think you're feeling an effect without it actually taking place.

If you have any side effects from resveratrol please post them below so we can build a list for others to review.
