I've taken as much as 1000 mg/day of resveratrol and never noticed any

change in T, E2, or DHEAs. This was 99.9% pure synthetic

trans-resveratrol that a group of us contracted with a Chinese company

to produce (after the Indian one backed out after the first several

Kilos since the FDA began calling it an investigational drug). We

tested both the samples and the final shipment for purity and biological

contaminates as well as heavy metals.

I took this for over a year and get 2-4 sets of hormone tests (lef.org's

male profile test) in addition to several more CBC/CMP/Cholesterol/Uric

Acid tests that lef.org also provides a dirt cheap. Again, resveratrol

did not seem to affect, at least for this sample of one, my hormone

levels at all at 1000 mg/day of trans-resveratrol or anything else I

measured for that matter.

As further research has come out, I've cut back to 200 mg/day of

trans-resveratrol and I still have perhaps 100-150 grams of the

synthetic on hand as a result of my decrease in usage.

I've taken resveratrol in small doses along with aspirin and plavix all

at the same time. Also at the same time, several grams of DHA+EPA (from

fish oil) as well as perhaps 1.5 grams of all 8 isomers of E, ginkgo,

and a dozen or so other supplements that are alleged to be platelet

inhibitors and to thin the blood. I took several INR tests that I

ordered and every time I got a reading of 1.0, perfectly normal. I was

taking 325 mg/day of Aspirin the entire time I was taking 1000 mg/day of

trans-resveratrol.

Plavix sucks - or should I say causes you to " drain " blood wise. I

would get large very dark bruising for no damn reason and was rarely

without a lot of these the entire 1 year or so I took this drug (stopped

3.5 years ago). Just using the treadmill at 3.0 mph for 30 minutes

resulted in bruising in my feet that would pool between the toes. It is

hardly better than aspirin (I was 81 mg/day at the time) and fish oil is

a lot better. Plavix cuts potential clotting events by perhaps 1%

over aspirin over several years while fish oil cuts potential clotting

events by 50%. I now take fish oil and a full strength aspirin.

Steve, Thanks for the good info. Do you notice anything since taking

resveratrol? I wonder if there is a way to measure the affects it has on the

SIRT1 and HSF1? I heard sources and forms regarding resveratrol was important

to efficacy. Do you think it might be your source or that another would be

better?

Also, and most important, I am determined to get off coumadin. I am close, but

I need to find an inexpensive way to measure blood viscosity at home, without

sending it out. I have looked at viscometers and called mfg's, but little help.

I believe the answer is a certain fish oil, bouluke and nattokinaese, combined

with oral chelation and calcium IV chelation, but I need to get more emperical

data and have a means to generate lab results realtime. The adjacent benefits

of the alternatives are obvious, but I have atril fibrillation, stroked once and

do not need to repeat it.

Niacin lowers Fibrinogen which should help in your objective.

I know almost nothing about home testing equipment but I'm hoping in the

next 10 years that chip testing and nanotech will provide a very cheap

way to monitor 1000s of gene expressions, protein synthesis, blood

parameters, etc for pennies a test.
