We use grapeseed extract (which does not have high levels of resveratrol in them BTW) for allergies. It works well for both of us.

The resveratrol supplements out today, are very distinct from
grapeseed extract. Grapeseed extract has very small microgram amounts normally of resveratrol.
The resveratrol supplements are concentrated, and mostly do not come from grapeseed, but from Polygonum cuspidatum.
Even red wines vary considerably in the amount of resveratrol they have, some have next to nothing...other may be higher depending on type of grape and manufacturing processes.
