Grapes

Overview

Grapes provide resveratrol, a polyphenol that activates SIRT1, enhancing NAD+-dependent processes and supporting mitochondrial function. Polyphenols (e.g., resveratrol) activate SIRT1, enhancing NAD⁺-dependent processes, and are found in grapes, blueberries, cranberries, peanuts, and dark chocolate.

Food Context

Synergies

• Part of diverse polyphenol intake
• Pair with other resveratrol sources

Preparation

• Can be consumed fresh or as juice (whole fruit preferred)
• Supports mitochondrial NAD+ pathways
