When I was at WalMart today to get my
grape seed extract (Spring Valley which I always get), they only had it
with Resveratrol so I guess I'll be testing it on me!

Since it occurs naturally in grapes, I suspect its been in your grape seed
extract all along. Or that at least the makers of grape seed extract would
have plenty of it lying around.
Adding it to the label is likely just marketing.

That is not the case; grape seed extracts contain no measurable
resveratrol; it occurs only in the skins. That is why white wine has
very little resveratrol; the skins are discarded. Red wine, perhaps
the richest dietary source, is fermented with the skins.
Grape skin is too expensive as a source of resveratrol. Virtually all
commercial resveratrol is extracted from a weed, Polygonum cuspidatum,
Japanese Knotweed. I would expect the dose of resveratrol that would
show strong effects in humans to be on the order of 300 or 400 mg a
day, but possibly there is a synergistic effect with grape seed
extract. I'd appreciate if Gwen would report if she notices any
effect she can attribute to this supplement
