Summary: The labeling is NOT misleading
Comment: Both of the previous reviewers are wrong.
There is certainly more than 16 mg of resveratrol in these capsules. Grape seed extract and grape skin extract contain resveratrol. The amount would depend on the type of extract. However, I am inclined to believe that the capsules do contain 200 mg of resveratrol since the 100 mg size capsules were assayed by (the independent) Consumer Labs, as part of a survey of resveratrol supplements, and passed their tests. Additionally they did not contain lead or cadmium, common contaminants and also passed the dissolving test (i.e. not go straight through you like a lot of supplements do).
There are two resveratrols; cis and trans.
Consumer Lab also did cost per 100 mg of resveratrol, and this brand was very competative.

Summary: misleading
Comment: Other reviewer said it, misleading labeling. the label says, exactly:
Resveratrols (from 200mg Polygonum cuspidatum, 8% total resveratrols) 16mg
Grape seed extract (Vitis vinifera) (95% polyphenols) 50mg
Grape skin extract (Ancellota lambrusco) (95% polyphenols) 100mg
Green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) (45% polyphenols) 200mg
First, there is no such thing as "resveratrols" plural, just one compound, resveratrol, and second this contains 16mg of it NOT 200mg.
That said: I did buy Jarrow's other resveratrol product (Resveratrol 100) and opened a capsule, as far as I can tell the contents taste and smell about the same as any other P. cuspidatum extract, so I have no problem with it. Also I've read the ConsumerLabs report, they did HPLC testing and say it contains pretty much exactly what it says on the label, 100mg resveratrol.
I don't think Jarrow is a bad brand, but I do think they should pull the "Synergy" product, or reformulate it to contain a decent amount of real resveratrol along with the other stuff. There is nothing wrong with taking a mix of plant polyphenols if you like, but that's not why most people would be looking at this; they would be looking at it because of the big "Resveratrol" label. As far as just resveratrol goes, to get the dosage what some people are aiming for, 5mg/kg/day or so, you would have to take about 20 of these pills, which is definitely not recommended.

Summary: DON'T BE FOOLED!
Comment: They call it "200mg" but in reality it is only 16mg of Resveratrol.
This is very misleading.
If they are willing to be misleading on their webpage and label, I would wonder about their quality control and contents as well.
I won't trust them again.
