Verdict

Resveratrol is a mechanistically validated anti-pollution active that antagonizes PAH-mediated AhR transcriptional activation while activating Nrf2 for cytoprotection and SIRT1 for anti-aging benefits; trans-resveratrol requires encapsulation or stabilized delivery systems due to light and oxygen sensitivity.
