New Zealand Deer Velvet capsules
Velvet antler has a long history of use as a traditional medicine , Asians have used Deer velvet
in traditional medicine for thousands of years, considering it to be a 'tonic', to strengthen support and protect the body’s mental
and physical performance. Current research has tended to support most of these claims while further research is still needed for those
remaining unproven.
Why take Velvet?
Ongoing
research
A great deal of this research has been carried out particular in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Russia, Australia, USA. Canada
and New Zealand. In New Zealand, the internationally recognized research is conducted by a state owned company, dedicated to
life science and agricultural research, called AgResearch and the Game Industry Board forming the Velvet Antler Research New Zealand
(VARNZ). VARNZ was established in 1994 and their Deer velvet research has been undertaken in areas such as:

What is Velvet?
Velvet antler is the deer antlers during their annual rapid
growth phase, during this period the antlers are covered in a velvet-like covering of hair. New Zealand removes the antlers
that develop each year from the red deer stags. Antlers grow at a rapid rate of approximately 2cm a day. This rapid growth
is likely to be regulated by pharmacodynamic substances that are at particularly high concentrations in deer velvet. The unique nature
of deer velvet has no doubt contributed to its reputation as a powerful remedy.
Bio-Active ingredients
During research a
variety of peptides and proteins, lipids, nucleotides, polyamines and vitamins have been identified as active ingredients. For example,
recent studies of deer velvet carried out in New Zealand and in the United States have shown that it contains a wide variety of growth
factors. These are essential biologically active molecules that are known to have a range of important functions in a wide range of
body tissues. Velvet is also a source of hexosamine, chondroitin sulphate and collagen, which are known to support joint function.

Processing
Velvet processing premises are licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) and the New Zealand Food
Safety Authority (NZFSA). MAF and NZFSA ensure food safety and hygiene requirements are met and maintained through regular inspections.
Velvet processing involves a cooking process at different temperatures using wet heat followed by a very long period of dehydration.
New Zealand velvet processing involves a combination of traditional methods with modern processing technology, resulting in very high
levels of hygiene and product quality.
