The FDA has currently stated that resveratrol is not toxic, while the government is in the middle of conducting clinical trials regarding resveratrol: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?intr=%22Resveratrol%22 since 2006, there has been many new supplement folks entering the market with varying quality and pricing of resveratrol: http://www.revgenetics.com/RetailPricing08172007.htm The fact that many of these are well known companies, also make the point that supplement makers have tested and verified toxicology as safe for folks to try this out.

Toxicology studies suggest resveratrol is harmless. Moreover, people have been consuming resveratrol for hundreds of years in the form of wine, peanuts, and other foods without any indication of danger. In other words, the available evidence suggests it's safe. Indeed, there is significant evidence that it may be a great boon to human health. So let's get over the assumption that it has been proven safe. That's unreasonable standard to impose. Indeed, most foods consumed by human beings have not proven safe.
