2000 years old and still kicking
Using ingredients that are an essential part of Oriental medicine, and now a popular supplement to encourage general wellbeing and reduce the effects of arthritis, Highland Stag deer velvet capsules offer you a highly effective and natural way to boost your wellbeing.
What is deer velvet?
Deer are a unique, as unlike sheep and cattle who have horns, they have antlers that continue to grow each day of their lives. These antlers are made up of keratin protein, like hair or finger nails, and naturally fall off and regrow each year. They are capable of growing up to 2 cm each day.
The antlers are covered in a fine hair, and have a texture like that of the material velvet, hence the name.
It is this part of the antler which is removed, frozen, and then processed into deer velvet capsules. These can then be used as health supplements and athlete supplements to naturally enhance your wellbeing and performance.
The natural way to enhance your overall wellbeing
Deer velvet is considered, to this day, to be one of the most powerful animal based natural health remedies due to its ability to strengthen and restore the body.
It has an ancient history, with proof existing of it having been used for over 2000 years, primarily by the Chinese in Oriental medicine.
It was used for a range of medical treatments and prescriptions, but over the years its focus has shifted from that of a cure to an effective protector of wellbeing.
Traditional uses of deer velvet have been to increase blood cell production, strengthen the immune system, improve body strength, and benefit cardiovascular function.
