Most Sirtuin Investor Readers Using Resveratrol

The SI Blog Resvertrol Usage Poll is has closed. Not suprisingly 80% of those polled are taking resveratrol. Almost 1/2 of those polled are taking in excess of 200mg per day. Here are the final results:

I don't take any --- 19%
Up to 100 mg ----- 11%
Up to 200 mg ---- 20%
Up to 1,000 mg -- 26%
Over 1,000 mg --- 22%

Given that Sirtris dosed at 5,000 mg and 2,500 mg in its recent Type 2 Diabetes clinical trial without any significant adverse effects it does not seem surprising that those somewhat knowledgable about sirtuins are taking rather high doses.
