About this supplement
Micronized or emulsified resveratrol refers to resveratrol (a polyphenolic stilbene) that has undergone physical processing (micronization) or formulation (emulsification) to enhance its bioavailability. Micronization reduces particle size to the micrometer range, increasing surface area and dissolution rate. Emulsification involves dispersing resveratrol in an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, often using surfactants or phospholipids, to improve solubility and gastrointestinal absorption. These forms address the poor water solubility and rapid metabolism of standard resveratrol, aiming for better pharmacokinetic profiles and efficacy in dietary supplements.
How much to take
- Typical amount
- Typically 100-500 mg of resveratrol daily, often in divided doses. Dosage may be lower for micronized/emulsified forms due to higher bioavailability.
- Suggested range
- 50-500 mg daily

Formula
C14H12O3
Physical properties
Micronized form: fine white to off-white powder; particle size typically <50 μm. Emulsified form: liquid or semi-solid emulsion (cream, gel, or liquid dispersion); may be yellowish. Both forms aim to improve solubility in aqueous environments. Standard resveratrol has poor water solubility (~0.03 mg/mL).
How it’s made
Micronization: resveratrol is ground or milled (e.g., jet milling, ball milling) to reduce particle size. Emulsification: resveratrol is dissolved in oil phase and mixed with water phase using emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin, polysorbates) via high-pressure homogenization or sonication to form stable emulsion droplets.
