In a clinical study, it was recently found that the naturally-derived antioxidant known as resveratrol - found in grape skins, red wine and supplements - effectively helps individuals reduce their body fat, which can help those looking to get ripped muscles.
Researchers from University of the Basque Country found that while conjugated linoleic acid has limited benefits, resveratrol may be effective when combined with a reduced-calorie diet.
The antioxidant was found to lower blood levels of triglycerides - the chemical form of most fats - in both mice and humans.
These findings may come as good news for those who have been working hard to build muscles but still cannot achieve the cut look they desire. Reducing fat using natural substances may not only help muscle tone, but could eliminate harmful free radicals from the body.
Red wine as well as red and purple grapes contain the highest concentrations of resveratrol, but the antioxidant can also be found in cranberries, blueberries, peanuts and strawberries. Individuals looking for the highest dose of resveratrol may want to consider nutritional supplements.
