What This Is

This is a high potency Canadian velvet elk antler supplement providing 500mg of freeze dried velvet antler per capsule, sourced from Canadian elk (Cervus canadensis) and processed using freeze drying to preserve the complete bioactive compound profile of fresh velvet antler. Velvet antler is the rapidly growing, cartilaginous antler tissue harvested from elk before it calcifies, and is one of the most complex naturally occurring sources of growth factors, collagen, chondroitin sulfate, glycosaminoglycans, and bioactive peptides available as a supplement. Health Canada licensed and manufactured in Canada to GMP standards.

The Science

What Is Velvet Elk Antler?

Velvet antler refers to the rapidly growing, pre calcified antler tissue of deer family animals (Cervidae), harvested humanely during the active growth phase before the antler hardens into bone. Elk antler is among the fastest growing tissues in the animal kingdom, capable of growing up to 2.5 centimetres per day during peak growth season. This extraordinary growth rate is driven by a dense concentration of growth factors, insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF 1), collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, glycosaminoglycans, and bioactive peptides that orchestrate rapid tissue proliferation and mineralization. Velvet antler has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years as a tonic for vitality, joint health, and physical performance.

Canadian Sourced

This velvet elk antler is sourced from Canadian elk raised under rigorous animal welfare and veterinary oversight standards. Canadian velvet antler is harvested humanely under federal and provincial regulations, providing a traceable, ethically sourced, and high quality raw material with a shorter supply chain from farm to capsule compared to imported velvet antler products.

Freeze Dried for Bioactivity

Freeze drying is the preferred processing method for velvet antler because it removes moisture at low temperatures without heat, preserving the full bioactive compound profile including heat sensitive growth factors, bioactive peptides, and enzymes that would be degraded by conventional drying or heat processing methods. Freeze dried velvet antler retains its complete IGF 1, collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, and growth factor content, delivering the most bioactive and potent form of velvet antler available in capsule format.

500mg High Potency

At 500mg per capsule, this formula provides double the potency of standard 250mg velvet antler products. The higher dose delivers a more meaningful concentration of naturally occurring growth factors, collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, and glycosaminoglycans per capsule, making it the preferred choice for adults seeking maximum joint, energy, and vitality support from velvet antler supplementation.

Key Bioactive Compounds

Velvet elk antler contains a uniquely complex profile 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, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, prostaglandins, phospholipids, and a broad spectrum of amino acids, minerals, and trace elements. This combination of growth factors, structural proteins, and glycosaminoglycans makes velvet antler one of the most comprehensive natural sources of joint and connective tissue supporting compounds available.

Velvet Antler and Joint Health

The collagen type II, chondroitin sulfate, and glycosaminoglycans in velvet antler are the primary structural components of articular cartilage, the smooth tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints. These compounds support the structural integrity, hydration, and compressive strength of joint cartilage, helping maintain joint cushioning and mobility. The growth factors in velvet antler, particularly IGF 1 and TGF beta, support cartilage cell (chondrocyte) activity and connective tissue maintenance.

Velvet Antler and Energy and Vitality

Velvet antler has been used as a tonic for energy, vitality, and physical performance in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 2,000 years. Modern research on velvet antler supplementation suggests it supports physical stamina, endurance, and recovery through its growth factor and bioactive peptide content. IGF 1 and other growth factors in velvet antler support muscle protein synthesis and tissue repair, contributing to physical performance and recovery support.
