Every resveratrol label carries two numbers, and only one of them matters. There is the extract weight, and there is the trans-resveratrol inside that extract. A 600 mg knotweed complex standardized to 50% carries 300 mg of trans-resveratrol. A 400 mg extract at the same standardization carries 200 mg. Front labels print the bigger number. Of the 24 labels we read, 8 leave under 250 mg of trans-resveratrol in a capsule once the division is done, and nobody does that division for you.
The serving size line decides what the front number means. 11 of the 24 split the daily amount across two capsules, so a 600 mg headline is 300 mg in your hand and a bottle that empties in half the time. The honest version of the same number is one capsule, printed as one serving, with the standardization percentage right next to the extract so the arithmetic is possible on the shelf.
Then there is what shares the capsule. Resveratrol is a single compound and needs almost nothing around it, yet 20 of the 24 add magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, or both, and 5 fold the resveratrol into a blend with grape material where only the blend total is comparable. One formula of 24 printed 300 mg of trans-resveratrol per capsule with exactly two other ingredients on the entire label.
Bought a 600 mg resveratrol and felt nothing? Do the division first.The milligrams on the front are usually extract weight. Multiply by the standardization percentage to get the trans-resveratrol, then divide by the number of capsules in a serving. That is the number the research follows. If the percentage is not printed, the division cannot be done at all, and that is your answer.
