About this supplement
Resveratrol complex is a synergistic blend of the polyphenol resveratrol (a stilbene) combined with bioavailability-enhancing compounds like piperine (from black pepper) and quercetin (a flavonoid). Resveratrol is primarily known as a potent antioxidant found in grapes, berries, and Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum). The addition of piperine inhibits metabolic enzymes and transporters, significantly improving the otherwise poor oral bioavailability of resveratrol. Quercetin adds complementary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This complex is formulated to maximize systemic absorption and biological activity, targeting pathways related to cellular stress, inflammation, and aging.
How much to take
- Typical amount
- Typically 100-500 mg of resveratrol component daily, often paired with 5-20 mg piperine and 50-500 mg quercetin. Dosage depends on the specific formulation ratios.
- Suggested range
- Resveratrol: 100-1000 mg daily; Piperine: 5-20 mg daily; Quercetin: 250-1000 mg daily. Follow specific product labeling.

Chemical ID (CAS)
Resveratrol: 501-36-0; Piperine: 94-62-2; Quercetin: 117-39-5
Formula
Resveratrol: C14H12O3; Piperine: C17H19NO3; Quercetin: C15H10O7
Physical properties
Resveratrol: White to pale yellow powder, poorly soluble in water, soluble in organic solvents. Piperine: Yellow crystalline solid. Quercetin: Yellow powdered solid. The complex is typically a fine powder blend.
How it’s made
Resveratrol is typically extracted from Japanese knotweed root (Polygonum cuspidatum) or grape skins using solvent extraction and purification. Piperine is extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum). Quercetin is often sourced from Sophora japonica or other plant sources. The components are then blended in specific ratios to form the complex.
