Listen Up: Red Wine extract protects against hearing loss & more!

Researchers at Delta Labs, a women’s health and wellness company, have discovered that Resveratrol, an extract found in red wine, has properties help protect against a number of different health problems, including hearing loss. New studies have shown that by receiving Resveratrol, researchers were able to reduce the amount of hearing and cognitive decline caused by noise induced damage in their test animals. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties found in Resveratrol significantly reduced the levels of the protein cycloocygenase-2 (COX-2), which is increased by loud noises.

Recent studies have also found that Resveratrol can help treat a number of other disorders, including; Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Although not yet endorsed by the Federal Drug Administration as a treatment for any condition, it’s important to note that most research is still in their preliminary stages.
