The Wine Pill Review

The Wine Pill Review


The Wine Pill is a new resveratrol supplement designed to treat a variety of problems and fight the aging process itself. The Wine Pill is based on the extensive healing powers of red wine. A study found that French and Italians have a diet high in fat and high in alcohol but they enjoy much better health than the average American.

Some scientists isolated an antioxidant compound called resveratrol in red wine and proclaimed it to be responsible for extraordinary powers of healing and preventative health. The Wine Pill claims that it fights and cures almost every type of cancer known to man, including:

• Colon cancer
• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Leukemia
• Skin cancer
• Liver cancer
• Lung cancer
• Mouth cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Every other cancer that has been in the news recently

Besides fighting all the cancer, The Wine Pill claims to be an anti-viral, anti-cholesterol, blood sugar controlling, weight loss treatment. Can a product with such a sublime name as The Wine Pill really be responsible for so many health benefits? Our findings were disappointing to say the least.

How Does The Wine Pill Work?


The Wine Pill is said to work because the resveratrol goes straight into the genetic material of the body’s cells. This genetic material has a build-up of DNA that did not reproduce properly and uses the cells as an organic landfill. Resveratrol cleans up the cells of this genetic material and activates a gene that makes people live longer. Of course, none of this has been proven and remains in the status of theory.

The Wine Pill Ingredients


Besides resveratrol, The Wine Pill contains a few other ingredients. Separately, these ingredients have no cancer fighting powers but some are good sources of antioxidants. The ingredients are:

• Vitamin E 15 IU – Vitamin is good for skin health. There are no side effects.
• Resveratrol 120 mg – the red wine extract.
• Flax seed powder 50 mg – is a great source of fiber and is safe to take.
• Green tea extract 50 mg – is high in antioxidants and is healthy, but does not cure cancer.
• Grape seed extract 10 mg – has no health benefits but also no side effects.
• Superoxide dismutase 10 mg – is an enzyme naturally occurring in humans that can repair skin but so far no studies have followed medically sound guidelines.

Buy The Wine Pill


The Wine Pill is sold online via their website but it is really not one of the more popular resveratrol products. Their website is relatively difficult to find in a web search. A 30-day supply of The Wine Pill sells for $19.99 and a 90-day supply is $39.98. The price is fair but there are no free samples of The Wine Pill available and no mention of a guarantee of any kind. They are upfront about their autoship program and it is optional.

Is The Wine Pill Effective for Anti-Aging?


Although The Wine Pill practices good business and does not force a sneaky autoship program on its customers, the product still does not perform up to expectations. The Wine Pill also has some healthy ingredients and we want to like it, but the fact remains that it is not an effective anti-aging supplement. It is best to save your money to buy a product that actually works.

Resmedin Review

Resmedin Review


Resmedin is an “as seen on TV” resveratrol product that is sold on infomercials and online. Resveratrol dietary supplements are said to cure a legion of different ailments, even the aging process. Resmedin claims the benefits of taking its resveratrol product are:

• Slowing of aging
• Increased energy
• Fights type 2 diabetes
• Fights cancer
• Prevents Alzheimer’s disease
• Fights arthritis

In addition to these health benefits, Resmedin claims it is “America’s #1 resveratrol supplement,” a statement made by at least half of the products in our reviews. Just like those other products, there is nothing about Resmedin to make it stand out. This is what our review found.

How Does Resmedin Work?


Resmedin says it has a unique formula of high-quality ingredients. They have filed for a patent on the formula, but somehow we doubt they will receive it since it contains the same ingredients as the other resveratrol supplements that do not work.

Resveratrol is a substance that is found in red wine that is a powerful antioxidant. It was isolated after someone noticed that French and other European people who drank red wine regularly seemed to be healthier and live longer than Americans. The only effect proven of resveratrol is that it has an effect on insulin and blood sugar so it can provide some help to those who suffer from type 2 diabetes. Supporters claim that Resmedin and other resveratrol products activate a special gene in our cells that makes us live longer.

Resmedin Ingredients


The primary ingredient of Resmedin is resveratrol. Resveratrol has no proven health benefits. 90 percent of newspapers have reported studies that say it is healthier to drink red wine than to take massive doses of resveratrol. In fact, many scientists say it is not resveratrol at all that provides health benefits, but it is the small amounts (one glass of wine per day) of alcohol that provide the benefits. Resmedin also contains:

• Grape seed extract – has no health benefits but it is involved in many studies. So far, there have been no side effects noticed either.

• Quercetin – a flavonoid found in citrus, apples, and onions. It has been linked to headaches and mouth ulcers as well as interfering with some medications.

• Red wine extract – is a curious ingredient to be labeled separately from resveratrol, as the two are considered synonymous. Because of this, it is impossible to determine exactly what red wine extract is.

Buy Resmedin


Resmedin is sold online for $39.99 but it must be purchased first through a trial order for $6.95. The terms and conditions note that the trial order is not free. Unless they are contacted via the form on their customer service page within 30 days, you will be billed $39.99 plus shipping. This charge will automatically recur every 30 days thereafter until cancelled. Once the product is shipped, the Resmedin company will not accept returns and they will not issue refunds. Customers report that any threat to dispute the charges result in being advised that the company has never lost a credit card dispute.

Is Resmedin Effective for Anti-Aging?


Resmedin is not effective in any of their claims. The resveratrol may help those who suffer from diabetes, but even this benefit has not been proven. As most other “as seen on TV” products, it is best to avoid Resmedin and go with a product that works. There are some good anti-aging products that are effective.

Rejenx Review

Rejenx Review


Rejenx is one of a multitude of resveratrol “wonder” supplements on the market today. Resveratrol is a compound found in red wine that purportedly is responsible for the health and long life of the wine-drinking French and Italian. Rejenx claims their proprietary blend of ingredients reverses aging, burns fat, and fights cancer.

The Rejenx website has a slew of information posted that suggests their product can make you live to 150 years old, cause your DNA to stop your cells from aging, and they make it look as though the product is endorsed by such respectable media outlets as CNN, 60 Minutes, and Fox News. Of course, none of these suggestions are true, although the website appears more respectable than any other we have seen.

How Does Rejenx Work?


The Rejenx proprietary blend is made through good manufacturing process using a cold method that is supposed to retain more nutrients. In addition Rejenx uses something they call nano-micro-nutrient-technology to direct the ingredients to the parts of the body where they are needed. Although directing orally ingested ingredients to various body parts is impossible, it does sound scientific enough for the average person to believe.

Rejenx is said to work because when cells divide, sometimes the DNA is not perfectly replicated. This bad DNA builds up in the cells and resveratrol cleans it out, which, in turn, activates a special gene that makes people live longer. Again, this process sounds good and makes for a great sales pitch but the underlying problem is that none of it has been scientifically proven.

Rejenx Ingredients


Rejenx uses a proprietary blend of ingredients with resveratrol being at the forefront. Resveratrol has proven to be able to help people with type 2 diabetes because it regulates insulin and blood sugar but no other health benefits have been proven. In fact, over 90% of newspapers have reported that it is safer and more effective to drink wine than it is to take resveratrol extract. That’s right. Alcohol is safer than resveratrol. Other ingredients are:

• Quercetin – a bioflavonoid that is linked to mouth ulcers and headaches.
• Baicalein – a mild antioxidant used in Chinese medicine.
• Grape seed extract – has no side effects, but on the other hand, it doesn’t have any beneficial effects either.

Buy Rejenx


Rejenx is sold online directly from the company with bottles of 60 capsules going for $59.95. It is also available from individuals all over the country, as the company appears to be geared more toward recruiting sellers in an Amway-type marketing program than actually selling any product.

Rejenx does not offer any free trials and only vaguely references a 90-day guarantee but provides no details. As mentioned, the Rejenx company is only selling product as an afterthought. Everything about the site is made to recruit new dealers.

Is Rejenx Effective for Anti-Aging?


Just as suspected, Rejenx does not come through with any of its claims. The Rejenx product doesn’t do much of anything and the addition of the ingredient quercetin makes people susceptible to debilitating side effects.

The Rejenx web site looks nice and their false information is presented beautifully, but reading through the information on the website slowly reveals that the executives of Rejenx aren’t interested in helping people. They are only interested in recruiting gullible people to sell their product to family and friends.
