Resveratrol ? What are you thoughts please.

Well, I take it because it's on Edge's CAM regimen list for triple negatives, on the NoSurrender site, as well as several others. I don't have any particular opinion about it because I haven't researched it specifically. I know that it's the "good stuf" from red wine, so of course you get the benefit many times over by taking it in a supplement.

I was going to try it but when I did a little research, I cam across articles/studies like these and it scared me away. I'm interested in hearing others opinions about this too, tho. Maybe there's some new data out there that supports the use of it in women with er+ bc.

Estrogen-sensitive Cancers

Until more is known about the estrogenic activity of resveratrol in humans, women with a history of estrogen-sensitive cancers, such as breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers, should avoid resveratrol supplements

"The discovery that resveratrol is estrogenic means that such supplementation might have undesirable side effects," Gehm said.
