Deer Antler Velvet
Consistent with holistic Oriental Medicine philosophies of promoting ‘wellness’ rather than curing ‘illness’, velvet’s primary use is as a tonic to maintain general good health. Highly trained Oriental Medicine Doctors prescribe velvet in combination with a number of herbs, according to the treatment required.
Deer velvet antler has been found to contain a variety of complex elements, including amino acids (almost half of its substance), enzymes, minerals, vitamins, fats, male and female hormones and leuteinizing hormone, and a very potent growth-promoting hormone known as IFG-1 (insulin-like growth factor).
In addition, deer antler velvet is largely cartilage, whose many components include chondroycytes, condroblasts, glucosamine, glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate A, and prostaglandins.

Antlers have the remarkable property of regenerating themselves. They can therefore be removed whole, once a year, from live animals, in a humane and painless process that is approved by an independent professional veterinarian. Afterward, they are quickly processed: ground to a powder, measured and encapsulated. To yield the most effective supplement, antler must be harvested at the peak of the velvet stage, in early summer. This is when antler growth is at its maximum, long before a significant part of the antler has calcified. The resulting product contains a number of constituents that are important to its role as medicine.

The resulting product contains a number of constituents that are important to its role as medicine.
- Pantocrine - a mixture of organic compounds including minerals, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and highly concentrated hormone-like substances, which increases the process of tissue regeneration; it is essential for the transportation of oxygen to the brain, liver and kidneys.
- Proteoglycans - complex protein chains that are part of cartilage, nervous tissue and cell membrane; they are responsible for the rapid growth of Velvet Antler.
- Amino acids - basic organic building blocks, which make up 50 per cent of Velvet Antler.
- Linoleic acid (Omega 3) - an important essential fatty acid.
- Glucosamine sulfate - a key element in joint lubrication and a necessary part of keeping the body's connective tissues strong.
- Chondroitine sulfate - a powerful anti-inflammatory agent found in very high concentration in Velvet Antler, which helps to regenerate cartilage and provide relief for arthritis symptoms.
- Phospholipids - a crucial element in cell membranes.
- Collagen - the protein that makes up skin fibers, tendons, bones and joint tissues; a glue-like substance that holds the cartilage matrix together and helps with elasticity.
- Prostaglandins - anti-inflammatory agents that help stabilize fat metabolism.
- Minerals - particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and potassium; present in smaller amounts are sodium, manganese, zinc, copper, sulfur, selenium and cobalt.
Velvet Antler is adaptogenic, helping to normalize many functions of our body. It can dissipate lactic acid, the cause of muscle pain, while regenerating damage to the nervous system or joints. It can normalize testosterone levels of women and men, increasing libido when it is in imbalance, as well as increasing men's sperm count. It increases the production of red blood cells while enhancing the level of oxygen transported to the brain, liver and kidneys. It also helps the immune system and can relieve circulatory problems like cold hands or feet, as well as more serious conditions such as anemia. It lowers the body’s level of free radical molecules, agents that lead to early aging; Velvet Antler also increases mental concentration and metabolism energy level. It increases endurance, strength and muscle development, while reducing stress and promoting recovery from athletic injuries.
It can stimulate the growth and regeneration of the body for children, adults and senior citizens. It reduces blood pressure by dilating peripheral blood vessels. It protects against stress and depression, helping to repair nervous tissues; it can also improve the quality of sleep and reduce the possibility of insomnia. It strengthens bones and fights osteoporosis. It relieves arthritis, rheumatism, stiffness, muscle pain between joints and lumbago. It helps to control diabetes. It helps to reduce cholesterol level. It may help to relieve premenstrual syndrome, symptoms of pregnancy and menopause.
