Resveratrol and its conjugates (such as glucuronides and sulfates) have been investigated for their potential anti-aging effects, primarily due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The interest in resveratrol as an "anti-aging" compound began with studies in yeast and animal models, where it was shown to activate sirtuins (notably SIRT1), enzymes associated with cellular longevity and metabolic regulation. Preclinical studies in rodents have suggested that resveratrol supplementation can improve markers of healthspan and extend lifespan under certain conditions, particularly in the context of high-calorie diets.

However, the relevance of these findings to humans is less clear. Human clinical studies are limited and generally of small size, short duration, and often use isolated resveratrol rather than its natural conjugates or mixtures. While some trials report minor improvements in metabolic markers or endothelial function, robust evidence demonstrating a direct impact on human aging or lifespan is lacking. Additionally, resveratrol is rapidly metabolized in the body to various conjugates, whose bioactivity may differ from the parent compound.

In summary, while there is scientific rationale and some preliminary evidence from laboratory and animal research supporting the use of resveratrol conjugates for aging prevention, clinical evidence in humans is currently limited and inconsistent. Thus, the use of resveratrol conjugates for aging prevention is supported by early scientific study but not by strong human data.
