Peter van der Voort, head IC of the UMCG in Groningen, explains on the hospital website why he took a bag of resveratrol out of his inner pocket with the TV program Jinek. According to him, the dietary supplement may protect corona patients from admission to intensive care.

Van der Voort states on the UMCG website, in the hospital’s knowledge magazine, that good research must first be conducted into the effect of resveratrol. “I do not advise anyone to take the resveratrol en masse now,” he says.
“The reason why I do bring this all out is that other researchers can also get started with our hypothesis. So that we can quickly work together. Because if we all have to investigate this all on our own at UCMG, we will be a few years away. Let’s work on this with a number of research institutes and see if we can get results quickly. “
Criticism
The statements by Van der Voort in Jinek were also criticized. Several experts argued that Van der Voort was premature. Renger Witkamp, professor of nutrition and pharmacology at Wageningen University, said in this story: “I now see that resveratrol is sold out everywhere. So at least it works well for Kruidvat, Etos and other drugstores. “
