I didn't realize I was ordering lozenges - my fault! But when I realized, I thought no big deal, they should dissolve quickly. However, these take foooorrreeeevvvvveeerrr to dissolve. I don't even know how long it takes to dissolve one because I get impatient and chew the rest after about 5 minutes. I need to move on to other parts of my day. The edges are also a bit rough, but luckily those break down first. The grape taste is really good, tastes like eating a grape flavored candy. I think the quality is good, but like with any other supplement, it's hard to tell for sure if there's any effect. I take this with NMN supplements. In the future, I will not order lozenges and will make sure it's pill or capsule form.

Not as bitter as I expected. I've tried powder forms of resveratrol and found them to be pretty bitter tasting. These are easy to dissolve under your tongue although it does take some time to dissolve. I sometimes end up chewing them in the end. At any rate, the flavor is fine and I have no dread in taking them. This is a popular brand but I couldn't find any info about where the ingredients are sourced or where the pills are actually made. I personally like to have that info on the bottle and exclusively buy supplements made in the USA. The price is a little expensive but they seem to be of good quality.

I have tried several different supplements made my Amy Myers. It has quickly become a brand I can trust and I feel like their product is very high quality along with being very fresh.This is a lozenge that you need to dissolve under the tongue. The first time I took it I could not resist chewing it, which is not the ideal way to take it. You want to keep it under your tongue, so it absorbs right into your blood stream and not through your stomach. Under that tongue is the best method if you can keep it there that long. That is my only issue with this product is it takes quite a while to dissolve. I have tried some other sublingual supplements that dissolve pretty quickly. It actually is a good distraction from stress to concentrate on not chewing it and for that reason I’ve grown to really like it even though it takes along time to dissolve!I love the flavor! I can’t believe some other reviewer said it tastes bad. It is a very nice grape flavor and sweetened with stevia which is one of the safest alternatives to plain sugar.I am taking this to help build up my immune system and I also take quite a high dose of CoQ10 along with this. I feel confident this is a very high quality of Resveratrol.

It's tough to say whether or not this product does anything because, unlike a skin cream which claims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles ... or a protein powder, which is designed to optimize your workout and increase your muscle size, how do you know if this is or is not working? What the review must come down to is the brand and the science behind it. Especially with supplements, which are notoriously unregulated, there are a lot of claims and it's the consumers' job to basically take a leap of faith in a lot of cases that the company producing the product is doing so ethically and honestly.Dr. Amy Myers has quite an interesting pedigree when it comes to the medical and science fields. She claims that her mission in starting this company was to help those who have been 'failed by the conventional medical system by helping them to restore their health and live their best lives. Her company is designed around autoimmune, thyroid and digestive issues. As an Emergency Room physician, this isn't exactly the type of specialty one would expect from someone in that profession ... but it seems like she is very adapt at business branding and growth.Resveratrol is something a lot of people might be familiar with because it's most famously found in red wine. For a while, red wine was actually being touted as a 'healthy' supplement to one's diet due to this agent found in the skin of grapes. I think it might take some of the fun out of the 'Resveratrol harvesting process' to get this in pill form vs. wine form but I always say, even if I get 25% of the health benefits I am promised, it's better than not getting any.Resveratrol is a free radical scavenger antioxidant. We've all heard about the TB Method made famous by Tom Brady which is designed to reduce inflammation, which leads to less injury and optimal aging. (important for a 40+ year old quarterback) Resveratrol is a supplement which goes towards doing all of that. Blood pressure and vascular tissue are a couple of the areas this substances has been shown in various tests to positively impact. Of course, all of this stuff happens below the surface, so there's no way to really tell if its working, other than to pretty much take a leap of faith if you believe the science and the reputation of the company's founder.The pills themselves are called lozenges and are hard little pills, which you can suck on. They are called a 'sweet treat' and are marketed as 'grape' flavour. (makes sense given the red wine connection ... but these pills are actually made from Japanese Knotweed.) The taste isn't that bad, although I would not eat them like candy, it is pleasant. The main rub against most supplements and pills by many doctors is that the body is usually fairly incredible at regulating substances and in most cases, the substance in the pill (vitamin E, vitamin C, etc.) is excreted from the body in urine before it actually absorbs and can help do what it is supposed to. This is why when it comes to Turmeric supplements you often see black pepper being added as an ingredient ... for whatever reason, it helps the body absorb the Turmeric before it is excreted.The dosage is 1 lozenge daily, which means this is a 30 day ... or around a one month supply. Because the FDA and most other boards do not evaluate supplements, your guess is as good as mine if this will actually work. I am not sure if it will prevent varicose veins, support the heart and arteries and be a powerful antioxidant, as it is marketed to do. However, the science seems to somewhat back this up, and the brand is one that I trust.
