I am no scientist, but this sounds legit to me. They may be overly optimistic about some aspects of it, but I'm excited. Its been known for a while that the "Mediterranean Diet" is one of the healthiest in the world, allowing people to age graciously and still have some vigor. One of the key components of that diet is, you guess it, wine! And red is said to be preferred to white. So, some of the science is already there, and has been studied quite a bit. What the article is talking about seems to be taking part of the red wine, and tweaking it a bit to make its affect stronger. I would pay for these pills. This could be the future multivitamin. But its not really multi, sounds like its just one thing. At one point in time, people were encouraged to eat a spoonful of cod liver oil every day. My grandparents said that everyone did it, pretty much without fail. A product like this could end up doing the same thing, being part of everyones diet. On the plus side, there is no way it can taste as bad as cod liver oil.

I'm with StJohn, I'm going to skip the cod-liver oil and any supplements in general and stick with the red wine.
