Elk Velvet Antler
Velvet
antler has been a major natural remedy used in Traditional
Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. As a restorative
energy tonic, it is considered second only to ginseng.
Velvet antler does not refer to the velvety skin that
covers young antlers, but rather the entire cartilaginous
antler in the pre-calcified stage.
All members of the deer family (elk, moose, deer, caribou,
reindeer) grow new antlers each year. With the exception
of caribou and reindeer, only the males produce antlers.
The rapid regrowth of antlers in male elk make elk velvet
antler the ideal renewable resource. The bulls are not
harmed when the young antlers are humanely removed before
calcification of the antlers begins. The elk industry
in Canada is highly regulated and government supervised
with all antler being routinely tested for bacteria levels
in Health Canada certified plants to ensure the highest
quality products. Only the cartilaginous antler and not
the velvet skin itself is used.
It is unfortunate that so much focus has been given to
elk antler's ability to improve sexual well-being that
it has largely become known as an aphrodisiac. This has
overshadowed the fact that elk velvet antler is useful
in many more applications. It is often thought to be only
a remedy for men, but in reality is also very beneficial
for women (ie. menstrual and menopausal problems) and
for children (aiding proper growth and development). It
is also excellent for the aging population as it slows
the aging process and provides relief from arthritic and
other joint problems.
It has been shown that elk velvet antler increases the
body's metabolism, speeds healing and recovery from injuries,
aids immune response, reduces inflammation, slows the
aging process, improves cardiovascular health, and improves
both gonadotrophic and thryoid function.

• poly saccharides (improves circulation, decreases
stroke risk)
• all essential amino acids
• calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc (essential
minerals)
• prostaglandins (reduces inflammation)
• alkaline phosphatase (promotes tissue healing
and cell repair)
• monoamine-oxidase inhibitors (works as an antidepressant)
• bone morphogenetic protein (regulates bone growth)
• uronic acid (improves circulation and decreases
stroke risk)
• hyaluronic acid (lubricates the joints)
• pantocrine (increases muscle performance)
• neutrophils (promotes body's resistance to disease
and injury)

Note:
Because elk velvet antler has been shown to increase testosterone
and estrogen, thereby affecting hormone levels, we do
not recommend taking elk velvet antler if one has been
diagnosed with hormone dependent cancer such as prostate
or breast cancer.
