Velvet elk antler (Lu rong,Cervus elephus, unossified antler) is the rapidly growing, pre-calcified antler tissue of elk, harvested humanely during the active growth phase before the antler hardens into bone. Lu rong has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years as a tonic for vitality, joint health, and physical performance. Elk antler is among the fastest growing tissues in the animal kingdom capable of growing up to 2.5 centimetres per day during peak season driven by a dense concentration of growth factors, structural proteins, and glycosaminoglycans.

Velvet antler (Lu rong) is harvested during the active growth phase before the antler calcifies and hardens into bone. During this phase, the antler tissue is soft, vascular, and rich in growth factors (IGF-1, EGF, TGF-beta), collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and glycosaminoglycans. Once the antler hardens into bone (hard antler), the growth factors and bioactive peptides are no longer present hard antler is primarily calcium and mineralized collagen with no meaningful growth factor activity

Freeze drying removes moisture by sublimation at low temperatures, bypassing the liquid phase entirely. This preserves heat-sensitive growth factors (IGF-1, EGF, TGF-beta), bioactive peptides, and enzymes that are denatured by the elevated temperatures used in conventional spray drying or heat drying. Conventional drying methods can destroy the growth factor activity that makes velvet antler bioactive. Freeze dried velvet antler retains its complete bioactive compound profile delivering the most potent form of velvet antler available in capsule format.

Velvet elk antler (Lu rong) is a naturally occurring whole-food source of a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds including: insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IGF-2, epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), collagen type II (the primary structural protein of articular cartilage), chondroitin sulfate (a key proteoglycan in cartilage matrix), hyaluronic acid (a glycosaminoglycan that provides joint lubrication and hydration), and additional glycosaminoglycans.

Articular cartilage is composed primarily of collagen type II and proteoglycans including chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid. These compounds provide the compressive strength, hydration, and elasticity that allow joints to absorb impact and move smoothly. Velvet antler (Lu rong) is a naturally occurring whole food source of collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and glycosaminoglycans the primary structural components of articular cartilage along with growth factors (IGF-1, TGF-beta) that support chondrocyte (cartilage cell) activity and cartilage matrix maintenance. This combination of structural components and growth factors makes velvet antler a uniquely comprehensive joint support ingredient.

Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use if you have heat from Yin deficiency, heat in the blood level, phlegm heat in the lungs, blazing stomach fire, or warm febrile disease. People with high fever, cold and rapid pulse (blood pressure) should consult a healthcare practitioner before use. If you are taking prescription medications, consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if new symptoms develop, consult a healthcare practitioner. For prolonged use, consult a healthcare practitioner. Keep out of reach of children.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is the primary anabolic growth factor responsible for the extraordinary growth rate of velvet antler up to 2.5 centimetres per day during peak season. IGF-1 binds to IGF-1 receptors on muscle, cartilage, and connective tissue cells, stimulating protein synthesis and cell proliferation. It is the compound most associated with velvet antler's effects on tissue repair, muscle support, and physical performance. Velvet antler also contains IGF-2, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), which together support a broad spectrum of tissue maintenance and repair activity. Freeze drying preserves IGF-1 and these heat sensitive growth factors conventional drying methods can destroy them.
