Controversies and Limitations:
Resveratrol shows promise as an anti-aging compound, with evidence supporting its ability to extend lifespan and delay age-related diseases in various model organisms. Its mechanisms involve the activation of sirtuins, reduction of oxidative stress, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the variability in its effectiveness across different studies and dosages highlights the need for further research to fully understand its potential and optimize its use in anti-aging therapies.
