From thousands of years Deer Antler Velvet has been used in the Orient for impotence in men. It has been referred to as one of the top sexual performance enhancers in the world. It is well known for producing strong sexual desires, increased testosterone, stamina and strength. Through the energy and insights of great Chinese herbalists, the royal houses of the emperors are thought to have made the finest advancements  It is very helpful in balancing and normalizing negative conditions and imbalances and also helps in maintaining optimal balance of mental and physical well being.

What Is Velvet Deer Antler?
The speed of growth of Deer antlers grow is incredible and tremendous and  as the antlers reach their final size after several weeks, the cartilage within them gradually converts into bone. Antler's blood supply and nerves are lost in the final process. After the complete hardening of the Antlers, for removing the skin that  remains, the stags rub them against trees or rocks and just because of that the deer develop sharp bony weapons used by them for combating against threats to their harem of females during the autumn rut or mating season.

 The antler cycle start again in every Spring season for initiating new antler growth. skin around the pedicle expands and grows. The growth of the new season's velvet crop  only begins when the hard antler from the previous season is cast off. Only after  that the velvet is harvested for its medicinal and performance qualities.

After removing the antler, it is cooled on titled racks and then it is frozen. now only it is appropriate to process it. I, Almost all of the antler can be used for medicinal purposes, if it is removed at cartilaginous state.

Benefits Of Velvet Deer Antler
Various reports has been collected  from the Orient, Russia, and New Zealand which indicate that to control blood pressure, increase hemoglobin levels, increase lung efficiency, improve recuperation from exertion, improve muscle tone and glandular functions, sharpen mental alertness, relieve the inflammation of arthritis, and heal stomach ulcers, velvet deer antler has been used for centuries. 

It has been used by Chinese herbal doctors as  a balancing agent for the endocrine system and also in the treatment of penile erection dysfunction in men. According to Oriental physicians Men suffering from enlarged prostate glands and watery semen get benefits from it. Not only men get benefited from but but it is also very helpful to women in treatment of  Menstrual disorders as it is composed of  both male and female hormones In addition to cartilage components, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and, in particular, IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) are also present in Deer velvet Antler.

History Of Medicinal Use
The first documented evidence of the use of velvet deer antler as a medicine was found on a silk scroll recovered from a Han tomb in the Human Province in China. The scroll is believed to be about 2,000 years old and recommends medical treatments and prescriptions for 52 different diseases using deer antler.

To assist in the treatment of many different medical conditions (in hospitals) in which post-operative recovery of patients is a key factor Russian state pharmaceutical company manufactured Velvet deer antler product called Pantocrine. In Asia, New Zealand, and Korea it  has become an elite medicinal food  with the Korea converted into the world's largest consumer of the product.

Oriental Medicine
Since the deer has most Yang energy, it is most important animal in oriental medicine For the treatment of kidney disorders, anemia, high blood pressure, and even the elevation of low blood pressure there is necessity to increase the quality and quantity of blood production  according to Dr. Peter Yoon of Seoul, Korea which is possible with the help of Deer velvet antler.

 For treating impotence in men, velvet deer antler has been used by Dr. Yoon and other doctors. Dr. Lee Sangin of Kyung Hee University in South Korea uses velvet deer antler not only for the  treatment of  infertility in Women but also for liver problems and high cholesterol in both sexes. Even though it is used for 2,000 years, but the scientific evidence has been developed  recently  to document its health benefits.
 document its health benefits.

Growth Hormone Factors
Dr. Peter Fennessy, General Manager of the Invermay Research Center in pncOtago, New Zealand conducted a research on  the medical properties of velvet doer antler, found that antler extracts not only improvedcell growth but it also produce anti-tumor and anti-viral effects. The fInvermay group undergo an investigation in which they found that there is a natural factor called a "Insulin-like Growth Factor-1" or "IGF-1" which is responsible for the growth of the antlers which is present in high levels in deer blood during the antler growth period as well as IGF-1 receptors in the antlers. Dr. Fennessey's team also discovered that the IGF-1 and IGF-2 (a related hormone) promoted growth in laboratory cell lines from mice.'

For the normal growth and development of the body, there is always a necessity a relatively healthy concentration of human growth hormone. In our teenage years, most of us are slim and lean, with low body fat and good musculature just because human   lean body mass is generated by growth hormone because of its mass  influence on IGF-1. but as we grow older with increase in age muscular atrophy occurs because of decrease in level of growth hormone levels along with IGF-1.For improving muscular development,velvet antler is natural source with no side effects.

See the advantages of Deer antler, it not only help in sexual problems but it also helps in boosting the immune system, known as immunopotentiation, by increasing the production of white blood cells (lymphocytes).

Velvet Antler, due to its Androgenic activity, which increases the production of testosterone, was used to determine its effects on the liver and kidney. Liver tissue damaged with chloroform was able to recover following Antler Velvet treatment. In follow-up studies the protein formation in both the kidney and liver was enhanced, as a result of Velvet Antler on RNS polymerase (enzyme) activity.

A investigation at AgResearch concluded that  Velvet extracts are found to improve cell growth due to the nutrient rich and fast growing cartilage because contained many growth factors. It not only to improve cell growth, but also showed anti-viral plus anti-tumor components after the primary studies has been done.

A significant reduction in arterial blood pressure has been noted in 10 patients in Japan using this product. In eight of the patients, the systolic pressure was reduced by 20-70 points and the diastolic was lowered by as much as 10-20 points. This study points to the extract being 80% effective in lowering blood pressure.

Anti-inflammatory Prostaglandins which is an active ingredients of velvet, assist in reducing the swelling associated with arthritis and injury. One more component of Deer velvet Glucosamine sulfate, when taken orally, has a 90% absorption rate which when combined with  chondroitin sulfate not only helps in  a slow, but gradual, reduction in the pain of osteoarthritis (of which an estimated 50 million North Americans are afflicted) but also builds cartilage and improves joint mobility. Deer Antler.

Pharmacology

Elk antler is composed of a variety of different tissues, including cartilage,  collagen, a crucial protein, and glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans help form cartilage proteoglycans,which is helpful in regulation of water retention and cell differentiation. They also help proliferate chondrocytes in cartilaginous tissue.

Velvet antler contains nearly 40 key compounds including:

Chondroitin sulfate, a carbohydrate which have a capability of attraction that attracts fluid into proteoglycan molecules and protects cartilage from damage caused by destructive enzymes
Glucosamine sulfate, the building block of cartilage and a reported anti-inflammatory easily absorbed by the body
Lipids, to build cells and boost energy
Prostaglandins, powerful anti-inflammatory agents
Monoamine-oxidase inhibitors, which enhance mood
Selenium, which reduces infections, and protects blood cells, the heart, liver and lungs
Calcium, for bones, teeth, nerves, blood clotting and muscle contraction
Collagen, a major structural protein that binds joints together and serves as a main component of articular cartilage
Phosphorus, nessassary for building up of bones and teeth, and is a key component of metabolic reaction
Polysaccharides, which helps in  regulatin blood clotting activity.
All essential amino acids, the building blocks of protein
Potassium, for nerves and muscles
Magnesium, to help cells restore and release energy
Bone morphogenetic protein, For sleeding the growth of the bone.
Growth factors, which assist and help  in cartilage cell development.
