Notice of Joint Bulk Purchase of >99% Resveratrol

[Guest guest]

Note from Francesca: A recent study posted here claimed that reservatrol is NOT

the main ingredient in wine that benefits longevity. Also another study that

claims that reservatrol gives no further benefit to those already on CR. That

said, I am myself on a trial of it purchased from the site posted by Maco a few

weeks back. I have been taking it for 2 months and notice no difference in my

energy level or otherwise. Maco's site is purityproducts.com and the capsules

do not need refrigeration orany special handling unlike the bulk purchase that

is proposing below. It also has special " deals " at the site and I paid a

reasonable price.

Here is 's post:

Notice of Joint Bulk Purchase of >99% Resveratrol

Participants are being sought for a joint bulk purchase of >99% pure

fully synthetic trans-resveratrol from the exact same company (Orchid

Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Ltd of Chennai, India) that supplied the

resveratrol used in the last two major published mouse feeding studies

http://pmid.us/17086191 http://pmid.us/17112576. In these studies

trans-resveratrol, at human equivalent daily dosages of 5 and 50 mg/kg

respectively, was shown to have major beneficial effects as a calorie

restriction mimetic, and on enhanced mitochondrial activity resulting

in more energy and stamina respectively. The pure synthetic has the

advantage that it is completely free from plant contaminants which may

have negative effects, while being exactly the same chemical as occurs

in nature in red wine (among other sources). In order to obtain a

supply of trans-resveratrol for myself and other interested parties, I

am seeking others to join me in a large bulk purchase so that together

we may get the far lower price per gram that the supplier will give

for a large order. I have already successfully received and

distributed to the initial joint purchase participants 4 kg from

Orchid which is in the process of producing a large new batch to be

ready by mid March 2007. This notice is for the purpose of increasing

the amount that will be ordered at that time, if anyone should be

interested.

Here are the terms of this add-on commitment for new joint bulk

purchase participants.

Terms and Conditions of Joint Bulk Purchase as of Jan 18, 2007

Pricing

100 grams @ $4.00 per gram,

200 grams @ $3.65 per gram,

300 grams @ $3.40 per gram,

400 grams @ $3.25 per gram,

500 grams @ $3.15 per gram.

Packaging

All purchases are packaged in 50 or 100 gm amounts in polypropylene

(PP) zip-lock bags with all air expelled before the bag is closed. PP

bags are much more moisture and air proof than are polyethylene (PE)

bags (the standard that one gets at the supermarket). Each PP bag is

placed in a zip-lock PE sandwich bag for added protection. Multiple

bags are then placed into a bubble envelope which is then placed

inside a USPS flat rate priority mail envelope for shipments of 200

grams or less and a priority box for more than that. (For those

outside the US things will be done a little differently as appropriate

to your import needs.)

Storage, handling and Dosage

If the bags are kept in a freezer (all processes are slower at a lower

temperature), and inside a light proof container (dark bottle or HDPE

container), then research, reading and discussions with others

suggests that there will be little degradation over a period of 2

years. The mice researchers stated nothing about storage in nitrogen

during the experiment and most of the storage time was in a

refrigerator mixed with chow. During actual usage everyone would be

wise to expel all air from the bag whenever it is reclosed after

getting some out of it.

When you remove some resveratrol from a larger package, only remove

enough to last for, say, ten days or 2 weeks at a time and, when not

in use, keep it in a small PP ziplock bag in a dark bottle in the

refrigerator. Small PP zip-lock bags will be enclosed with every

shipment package for the purpose of keeping this smaller in-use amount

in the refrigerator.

As for dosage, standard dosage increasing procedures for any new

chemical suggests that it will be safest to start at 0.5 mg/kg daily

and double every 2 weeks until you reach at least 5 mg/kg (which is

what Dr Sinclair takes and what I am taking), but this is really

a matter of individual choice and desire for experimentation. With

respect to upper limits of dosage, note that there is no evidence of

toxicity for resveratrol even at a human equivalent dosage of 75 mg/kg

Shipping and payment

All prices include priority mail (USPS) shipping to US addresses and a

copy of the Certificate of Analysis (COA) of the product.

Insurance of package costs extra.

Out of US shipping incurs a $25 surcharge (only $15 to Canada) with no

customs entry guarantees.

Email me your full legal name, physical and postal addresses, phone

number and amount desired.

Be prepared to pay in advance by check or money order in early March

when the next order with Orchid will need to be placed and prepaid,

since this is a joint bulk purchase and must be prepaid.

I will email you when I need prepayment in March.

Responsibility for Loss

Everyone should be aware that although all joint purchasers received

their allotted share of the first partial shipment, there is always

some possibility that an entire future shipment, or merely a shipment

to a particular joint purchaser, will be lost. Although as the

coordinator of this prepaid joint bulk purchase I promise to do

everything that I possibly can to prevent any such loss, I do not bear

any responsibility for refunding any money in the case of any such loss.
