A substance found in red wine could help to mend damaged backs. New research shows that resveratrol slows down the rate at which discs in the spine degenerate.
Scientists found that injecting the substance into injured backs stopped further damage to the cartilage in the discs.
So far the results have been seen only in animal studies, but it’s hoped the red wine ingredient could help thousands of people who suffer pain from worn discs.
Up to 85 per cent of adults in Britain have back pain at some point in their lives.
