Description
α,β-Dihydroresveratrol is a polyphenol found in many food sources and is a major metabolite of resveratrol. α,β-dihydroresveratrol may have better bioavailability than its parent compound. α,β-dihydroresveratrol may be involved in resveratrol’s anticancer chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive activities and also may modulate voltage-gated K+ channels.
