Re: SuperSoldier Serum?

Loading the body with chemicals that it cannot produce naturally may seem initially promsing but is in fact very dangerous. This is due to the fact that the body cannot regulate chemical levels to achieve homeostasis. This is especially concerning when you consider that resveratrol functions by manipulating blood sugar levels. This could cause unhealthy fluctuations in pancreatic hormones as the body tries to achieve homeostasis. Long term implications could be dependancy or diabetes.

In response to JulianKeller,

Transposing a certain gene is not the same as enhancing it or adding the chemicals it produces. Rather it causes the genes to copy itself and spread to various locations on a given chromosome, increasing its transcription rate and thus its expression.

Then would it be possible to engineer a gene which would express itself as creating the chemicals that Resvertrol introduces to the body and then introduce it into a person's system so that it replenishes the person with that resvertrol all the time so they would theoretically be in peak human health?

breakdown of what I said
make gene that tells something inside of us to make the chemicals of resvertrol.

implant gene into a possibly adult human and watch the effect of them becoming an athletic human, longer lived, etc
