[extropy-chat] Resveratrol oral effectiveness confirmed in animals

[Lifespan Pharma Inc.]

You can buy grape tannin powder for about 20$/pound.
Any idea about the resveratrol content of this material?
If it is not desireable to consume the tannins wholus bolsus some simple 
extractive
fractionation might do just the thing to create a resveratrol concentrate?

I just mixed a teaspoon of grape  tannins and a couple bags of green tea 
in some ginger ale to drink this afternoon.
