Over the past few years, many clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the health effects of resveratrol in humans, in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, osteopenia and osteoporosis, and others.  Considerable work is also underway exploring the optimization of resveratrol delivery and bioavailability in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical paradigms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NOTE: \u003ci\u003eAnnals\u003c\/i\u003e volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.
