It has also been mentioned that Resveratrol assists in the reduction of bad cholesterol. Due to the fact that Resveratrol is made up of high levels of lipophilic and hydrophilic properties it is thought by some as a more potent antioxidant agent then vitamin C and E. However not all of the reports are favorable, epicatechin and quercetin are additional antioxidant agents found in red wine and some say that they can be even more useful than the compound Resveratrol.
