First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether taking resveratrol—a compound found in red wine—can improve the muscle, blood vessel, and brain benefits of strength training in adults aged 60 and older. Participants will take resveratrol or a placebo while following a supervised strength training program for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if resveratrol enhances muscle strength, endurance, and overall health by affecting tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that help cells communicate.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple supplement to enhance the muscle, blood vessel, and brain benefits of strength training in older adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, small study (36 participants). The results may not apply to everyone, and resveratrol may not provide additional benefits beyond exercise alone.
