Summary:

      Type of Study: Single Ascending Doses (SAD) Study

      Objectives:

      To characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of JOTROL (resveratrol) following oral
      administration of SAD ranging from 200 mg up to a dose currently estimated at 1,000 mg, in
      healthy subjects.

      To evaluate the safety and tolerability of JOTROL To evaluate the effect of food on the PK
      profile of JOTROL. Study Design: Phase I, randomized, open-label, sequential SAD study with a
      food effect evaluation. Blood plasma and urine samples will be assessed for resveratrol and
      key metabolite content.

      Type of Control: No control Test Product: JOTROL (resveratrol) 100 mg resveratrol in 1000 mg
      softgel capsule for oral administration Dosage Regimen: Planned dose levels of resveratrol:
      200 mg, 500 mg, and 1,000 mg. Following completion of each dose level, PK, safety, and
      tolerability data will be evaluated; dose levels may be adjusted.

      Route of Administration: Oral gelcaps with water Number of Subjects: 24 subjects will be
      included in Part 1; only 16 subjects, who completed Part 1, will be included in Part 2.

      Subjects: Healthy, non-smoker, adult males or females, ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age Study
      Duration: Participation of each subject in this study should last approximately 1 to 1.5
      months (for subjects participating in study Part 1 only) and 1.5 to 2 months (for subjects
      participating in both study parts).
