Resveratrol is available as a nutritional supplement but not as a therapeutic agent (although it has been registered as an investigational drug in some jurisdictions). Supplements, first sourced from ground dried muscadine and red grape skins and seeds (sometimes from residual byproducts of winemaking[15]), are now primarily derived from the cheaper, more concentrated Japanese knotweed. Capsules are sold containing from 1 mg to over 40 mg of Resveratrol, at a cost of USD $.10 to over $1.00 each. A less common form is packets of powder, which might be more convenient for frequent ingestion as suggested by the rapid metabolism in the body.[16] One company offered 500 mg capsules in 2006 [17]; this approaches the dose per Kg used in mice experiments.
