Hyperbole. Resveratrol has effects, but biology is a symphony, and making one instrument really loud usually has unintended consequences. Using these drugs isn't similar to drinking red wine, as the effect is at least 100x more potent. I wouldn't rush to take such a pill.

Exercise, calorie restriction, and some red wine. That's what I'd stick to until enough people have been taking this to uncover any ill effects that won't show up in a short-term clinical trial.
