Protocol for a randomized, controlled trial of a bioactive dietary polyphenol preparation to promote resilience in healthy individuals.

This paper describes a planned randomized controlled trial, a study that assigns people by chance to different treatments. Healthy adults will receive either a resveratrol-based polyphenol supplement or a placebo, an inactive lookalike treatment. The researchers will measure whether the supplement helps people handle everyday physical or mental challenges. This paper is only the study plan, so it reports no results yet.

What this means for you: You can ignore this one for now when deciding whether to buy resveratrol. The study may provide useful evidence later, but it currently does not show that the supplement works or is safe for healthy people.
