It made me feel like I was 90 years old it was hardly able to walk. I am on testosterone replacement therapy, and I get blood work done often. It does make me wonder if this plummeted my estradiol too far down. I take half a pill of Arimidex, twice a week to keep my estradiol around 30 ng/ml. All natural anti-romase supplements have been pretty unimpressive, but maybe resveratrol is the first effective one. When I first started my TRT, I tried taking a full pill twice a week and ended up plunging my estradiol into the red zone. My foot felt exactly like it does on this resveratrol. I would like to find some research to find out how far down it reduces estradiol and how long it will suppress it. Maybe I can replace my Arimidex with Resveratrol some day soon.

Since these are exactly what I experienced a couple decades ago with a statin, I moved quickly to quit taking the resveratrol and started searching more for side effects, finding this blog post (thanks). Now I'm on the 2nd no-resveratrol day and noticing some improvement in the foot pain and discomfort. I may try it again at a lower dose if I recover in a couple weeks. Otherwise I'll chalk this up as a failure.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196951542035472068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-67186382034155917372018-01-18T18:51:06.510-06:002018-01-18T18:51:06.510-06:00I started taking resveratrol for a condition I’ve ...I started taking resveratrol for a condition I’ve had for years. After a few weeks, I noticed my joints, tendons and muscles always felt week. I ignored this side effect and continued taking them. After a few months, I started experiencing severe pain all over and my blood pressure was out of control even with medication. <br />About 8 weeks ago, I discontinued resveratrol and the aches, pains and weakness have all but disappeared. For a long time, I thought I had a horrible disease that was killing me slowly even though my blood tests were negative for any ailments. <br />After reading all the reviews, I’m happy to put my theory to rest and that all my symptoms were a side effect of resveratrol.

I then started it and two or threes weeks I suddenly had hip pain, knee pain, and really, really bad foot pain even numb. The last one I took was three days ago,still hurting. I only hope this passes. Lots of people over the years on Peoples Pharmacy have told similar tales. I am grateful to find out about the bad side effects even if it's after the fact. Btw, was taking the Vitacost 50% 100mg from 200mg of the Japanese Knotweed. Thanks to Doug for the info he posted.

I've been taking resveratrol for a few months now, with worsening foot pain and now today, Christmas Day, severe ankle pain, too. I looked up resveratrol on Google and lo and behold; it is the exact cause of my severe pain. Last night I woke up from the pain numerous times. No more resveratrol supplements for me! I hope to God that I can somehow regain normalcy in my ankles and feet. I don't care to take any more of these insane supplements; because, when I stopped to think about it, resveratrol is NEVER found in nature. Grape skins, etc YES! But where, oh where, in nature, do I see a resveratrol bush? A resveratrol tree? NOWHERE, that's where. Because resveratrol is found in such small amounts as part of a part of something else, like grapes, or peanuts. now that I think about it, it only makes sense that when some person concentrates all that resveratrol into one single megadose, it is bound to create severe problems. Resveratrol was never meant to be taken in thousands of times the concentration found in Nature. I feel like a total fool for falling for this trick by the supplements industry.<br /><br /><br />This is more like a prescription drug than a supplement. But then, I've noticed that pretty much any supplements I've taken have had these same kinds of issues.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271398003501689122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-38433325237045822662016-05-05T19:11:23.332-05:002016-05-05T19:11:23.332-05:00It was the anti-estrogenic properties of TR.

In the mornings it was near impossible to walk on my feet. I haven't taken the Collagen Booster that contains Dermaval (Resveratrol ) in a few days and I have been 99% better for 2 days now. After reading reactions on this site, I believe that is what suddenly caused my problems 2 weeks ago. But I think I took the pills for 2-3 weeks before developing symptoms. I also have Endometriosis and was not aware that Resveratrol is contraindicated. Sigh, I feel stupid and now have to tell my family this was self-induced. Thankful though it is probably not Erythromelalgia (although sensitive finger pads started before taking Resveratrol).

There are a few theories on the cause of joint pain. First of course is that it is the resveritrol itself causing the problem. Either by causing autoimmune effect or by some chemical mechanism. Second is that it seems more common in the 50% pure extract. Most resveratrol extracts are made from Japanese knotweed which also has high concentration of Emodin. Emodin itself has many health benefits but is molecularly similar to active ingredients in the drug Ciprofloxacin / Cipro which is known to have severe negative effects on tendons and ligaments. For this reason many suggest the 99% pure extract. Lastly, to isolate the resveritrol found in knotweed, the extract is "washed" meaning that any number of other chemicals are used to remove impurities. However, it could be that these chemicals remain to some degree and may be the culprit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18137276878919351586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-5149231065075478982015-08-16T08:24:12.474-05:002015-08-16T08:24:12.474-05:00I have taken resveratrol on and off for 7 years....I have taken resveratrol on and off for 7 years.

So i bought it from my Bulk source (I guess i can not tell who) I have been taken 250mg each morning for 2 weeks and have bad none of the symptoms i have read about. I am 65 and i work out intensely get cut and then lay off for 6-8 months. I watch the changes in my body every day. I only got a slight headache after taking it in the AM. My Doctor said that it will help with my high cholesterol . I have a BP of 109/68 and no sign of Diabetes. I am saying that - so far this has not had any of the effects the younger people have had.

However, over time, I developed joint stiffness and pain. Upon ceasing resveratrol, these symptoms subsided after a number of days/weeks. Not believing the association, I went back on resveratrol on two other ocassions after a long hiatus off resveratrol, and the jont pain and stiffness returned over a period of several days/weeks. I do believe as others have noted, resvertrol can indeed cause joint stiffness and pain. Whether you get them or not, probably depends on your genetic make up. If you get these symptoms, my advice is to get off of it immediately. It is NOT a matter of working through the pains/symptoms as suggsted by one posted comment. I have done this now three times at least with the same outcome.

I never had any of the symptoms and stopped only because it was so darned expensive. I was taking 500mg twice a day and went down to once a day because I was afraid of possible side effects. Anyway, I just started back again today as a matter of fact and would you believe that within minutes of taking the 250mg of organic (mind you) resveratrol I started getting muscle pains ha,ha,ha,ha! I can't do anything but laugh. So what I'm thinking of doing is taking it once every other day and see how that goes. It may be that the resveratrol I'm taking now may be more concentrated than the one I was taking before. I'll keep you all posted. I'm a 37 year old female and very physically active by the way.

Both positive and negative reviews seem to be grouped into clusters. a bit suspicious. I can only judge by my own experience - I supplemented w/resveratrol on two different occasions and both times, I had trouble sleeping, so much so that the first time I had to stop. Within a few days, my sleeping was back to normal. The 2nd time(currently) I am having the same problem with waking up several times during the night and I've only been on it for about a week now. I'm also experiencing some mood changes and some minor, random body aches. My current dosage is 75mg. i think I'm done with resveratrol - could be that the "recommended" dosage(100's of mgs) is just an unnaturally high amount to be taking.
