Elk Velvet Antler
Who would have thought 20 or even 10 years ago that we'd see elk farms along
the highways and bi-ways of the Peace River Country? Well, they're here and they
seem to be growing in numbers!
Revered in the Orient for 2000 years for its medicinal qualities, Elk Velvet
Antler is now making waves in North America as a natural performance enhancer
for athletes and a welcome relief for arthritis sufferers. In the Asian culture
velvet antler is treated as their "treasure herb", and with good
reason. Research around the world has shown that velvet antler relieves symptoms
of arthritis, improves athlete's performance, speeds up healing of damaged
tissue and increases testosterone levels. Velvet antler is shown to contain
glucosaminoglycan (lubrication of joints), chondroiton sulfate (for relief of
arthritic symptoms) pantocrine (for increased performance), prostgladine (an
anti-inflammatory), fatty acids (helps lower cholesterol) uronic acid (decrease
risk of stroke) and much more.
With all the benefits to be gained from using elk velvet antler it is nice to
know that by using it we are supporting local elk breeders. It is a renewable
resource - velvet antler is harvested from the antlers grown and shed every
year. Even better it is harvested without causing harm to the animals. The
average bull elk will produce 15 - 20 lbs. of antler each year for as long as 15
years. The horns are harvested when in the velvet stage.
For your convenience elk velvet antler is available in capsule form and is
sold in all your "Feelin' Good Naturally" stores.
