Mechanism of action

By weight, deer velvet is approximately 50% amino acids. (5502) Deer velvet also contains vitamin A, estrone and estradiol, sphingomeylin, ganglioside, some prostaglandins and epidermal growth factor. (5518) Deer velvet is believed to stimulate the growth of body tissues, particularly the reticuloendothelial cells and leukocytes.  It also appears to stimulate wound healing.

Deer velvet seems to reduce fatigue by improving sleep and stimulating appetite.  It is believed to improve health, especially in children and the elderly. (5502).

Preliminary evidence suggest that athletes taking deer velvet experience increased muscular strength and endurance in training.  They also seem to recover faster from muscle tissue damage that results from exercise.(5505)

PLEASE NOTE:  Sfera Deer Velvet is imported from New Zealand where there is a big deer industry and very strict regulations for harvesting the antler velvet.  The process is cruelty free and the animals are not harmed in any way.  The raw material is also tested by the NZ food and safety regulatory body for any pathogens.
