Velvet Antler

Velvet antler - not the inert material of horns, but the rapidly growing antler of deer and elk that completely regenerate every year. Antler has been a key element in Asian medicine for thousands of years, and has always been consumed by human hunters.

Only in recent centuries have we abandoned this rich source of growth factors, cartilage building nutrients, and testosterone precursors. Antler may be one of the missing elements in the modern diet that has allowed such a tragic loss to our collective health. Velvet antler is now being used to address a wide range of disorders, including arthritis and sexual dysfunction. Major constituents of velvet antler - chondroitin sulfate and collagen type II - are even recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug administration as effective against joint disorders. This is a rare achievement for a nutritional supplement with its roots deep in alternative practice.

This book is a guide to the emerging uses of this amazing substance. It will help you understand the science, the application, and the philosophy behind velvet antler supplementation. It presents clear scientific and clinical results, along with some compelling anecdotes.

Not an intervention, but a return to the
diverse diet that our ancestors should
never have given up!
