Velvet antler is an all-natural product made without harming animals or the environment.  Velvet antler is found to have active ingredients that include:

Minerals and Trace Elements:

Calcium (Ca):  provides structure for bones and teeth, and is essential for nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and blood clotting.

 

Copper (Cu):  necessary for red blood cell development, bones, and nerves.

 

Iron (Fe):  essential for blood cells transporting oxygen throughout the body.

 

Manganese (Man):  needed for development of bones and connective tissue, and for normal functioning of the nervous system.

 

Magnesium (Mg):  needed in metabolic reactions and storing and releasing energy in cells.

 

Phosphorus (P):  provides structure for bones and teeth and is a component of nearly all metabolic reactions.

 

Potassium (K):  needed for nerve and muscle function.

 

Selenium (Se):  powerful antioxidant.

 

Sulfur (S):  is a component of various amino acids and insulin.

 

Zinc (Zn):  part of the enzymes involved in digestion and respiration, and is necessary for normal wound healing and skin health.

Growth Hormones and Growth Factor:

Growth hormones affect growth and maintenance of bones, promoting protein and fat metabolism, stimulating cartilage growth, and thickening and lengthening bones in children.

 

Growth factors or somatomedins are small proteins produced naturally in the human body by the lives through stimulation of growth hormones.

 

Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-1).  IGF-1 or Somatomedin C is the most important of the four (possibly more) growth factors in the body.

 

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF).  EGF has growth-promoting actions on the skin.

Protein, Collagen, and Lipids: 

Protein (including all essential amino acids):  are the structural materials in cells and aid in growth and repair of tissues.

 

Collagen:  a major structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

 

Lipids (all essential fatty acids including omega 3 and 6):  build cell parts and boost energy for cellular activities.

Glycosaminaglyans (GAGs):

Hyaluronic acid:  is the cement material of connective tissue and a component of synovial fluid that cushions the joint.

 

Chondroitin sulfate:  extremely potent anti-inflammatory agent.

 

Glucosamine sulfate:  an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body.  Its glue-like qualities help to hold tissue together.

 

Erythropoeitin:  a hormone produced in the kidneys and released into the bloodstream in response to low oxygen levels, thus helping to increase oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

 

Prostaglandins:  a chemical messenger produced in virtually all tissues.

 

Phospholipids:  effective structural materials in cell membranes.

 

Glycosphingolipds:  involved in cell metabolism and growth.
