More than 2000 years of Chinese history expresses the high regard that this culture holds for deer velvet antler in its use as a powerful health tonic.

Deer velvet antler use was first documented on silk scrolls dating back to 168BC found in the Han Dynasty tomb, in the Hunan Province in China. These scrolls were discovered to list over 50 diseases for which deer velvet antler was taken.

Since then deer velvet antler has consistently been used in Chinese medicine to support and maintain energy levels and for healthy joint function.

Traditional Chinese medicine is based on the concept of Yin and Yang. Deer Velvet Antler is the most potent source of Yang (active, positive & masculine properties) known to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

What is Bio-Active Deer Velvet?

The fermentation of antler brings about a great change in the composition of antler, converting high molecular weight proteins into low molecular weight proteins and polypeptides, so that the antler herb medicine is greatly improved in uptake rate in the body. Traditionally, Deer Velvet Antler herbal medicine was boiled for very long hours before it was taken orally. However this practice could damage other nutrients in Deer Velvet Antler.

Now a patented fermentation process, used by Velvet Agility manufacturers UB Bio Ltd, breaks down large molecules and increases the body uptake rate by converting proteins into low molecular water extractable polypeptides.

Metabolic processes occur in the aqueous phase in the body. Thus the Velvet Agility antler tablets are able to show enhanced medicinal effects of antler at a much lower dose rate than using traditional methods of processing.

The protein profile assay study using HPLC gel filtration chromatography showed that the graph of Bio-Active Deer Velvet Antler has shifted to the right indicating increase in the quantity of extractable water-soluble components in a sample relative to standard processed Deer Velvet Antler.

Deer Velvet Antler - Facts

Velvet Antler refers to the growth stage of the male deer’s antler (before it hardens and calcifies into bone) and not the antlers soft velvety coating.

Deer velvet antler grows very quickly, at up to 2cm per day and can produce up to 10 kilograms within a period of 60 days.

Deer velvet antler is deciduous, naturally regenerating every year the only mammalian organ to do so.

Deer velvet antler is humanely removed using local anesthetic. The velvet antler is removed by veterinarians or specially trained farmers, accredited to a national program approved by the New Zealand Governments National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee, New Zealand Veterinary Association and animal welfare advisory groups. This program involves training, certifying and auditing both farmers and veterinarians.

Deer Velvet - Usage:

New Zealand Deer Velvet is relatively new to the modern supplement market, this authentic super nutrient has been used for centuries by Oriental and Native American peoples.

Velvet Agility is a scientifically proven natural supplement that is based on an ancient Chinese formula with a 2000 year history of success.

The key to the Velvet Agility is the inclusion of pure Bio-Active New Zealand Deer Velvet which is produced on natural New Zealand pastures in peaceful, drug and toxin free conditions by roaming male red deer and harvested under strict government approved methods using local anesthetics and highly trained operators.

Deer velvet antler is harvested annually, without harming or killing the farm raised animals.

The harvested deer velvet is pasteurized in an autoclave or steam oven where a strict temperature/moisture regime maximizes quality before an electronically controlled dehydration process provides high grade product that is suitable for export.

Uses of New Zealand Deer Velvet Agility are to encourage the following:

Joint function, mobility and arthritis relief.

Muscle and connective tissue development and strength.

General wellbeing and vitality.

Endurance and durability.

Red blood cell production.

Oxygen carrying capacity.

Speedy tissue recovery.

Recuperation after surgery.
