The Velvet Deer Antler in HGH Plus IGF-1 & IGF-2

Bone and Joint Benefits of Velvet Deer Antler

bone and joint benefitsAlthough traditional Chinese medical literature dating back more than 2,000 years extols the benefits of velvet deer antler as a premium medicinal substance, recent studies provide compelling scientific evidence supporting its use to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Osteoarthritis is caused by the loss of cartilage in bone joints. In normal joints, cartilage serves as a buffer between bones. Usually the body replenishes cartilage as it wears away, but when osteoarthritis occurs, cartilage deteriorates faster than the body can replace it. Eventually, the bones begin to rub together, causing pain, swelling and loss of joint mobility. Most treatments for osteoarthritis attempt to reduce pain and maintain joint function, but these treatments do little to restore joint health. In fact, many prescription and over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs actually prevent the growth of collagen in joints, causing further cartilage degeneration. These drugs can also produce other serious side effects such as deterioration of the gastrointestinal tract lining, and liver and kidney damage.

Researchers believe that the imbalance between cartilage erosion and regeneration in osteoarthritis sufferers is caused by a lack of glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycans play a vital role in the structural integrity of cartilage. Several studies indicate that velvet antler can reduce or even eliminate symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. Recent clinical tests suggest oral ingestion of glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex, or components such as chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate - both found in velvet deer antler - may help stimulate cartilage repair.

Placebo-controlled double-masked studies of both humans and animals on the therapeutic effects of glycosaminoglycan-peptide complex appear to confirm these investigations.

Chondroitin sulfate, the most abundant glycosaminoglycan found in velvet antler, is used in surgery to stabilize tissue. Several studies on humans indicate regular oral ingestion of chondroitin sulfate can significantly reduce the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.

Randomized studies of glucosamine indicate the compound not only inhibits cartilage degradation but also helps repair damaged cartilage. An eight-week double-blind trial of glucosamine on 40 osteoarthritis sufferers found that the compound had significantly longer-lasting benefits than the commonly prescribed pain killer ibuprofen.

Previous studies have already suggested that the cartilage compounds found in velvet antler may be effective at relieving rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Bone Enhancement Benefits

bone and joint benefitsElk antler grows as much as 50 pounds in less than a few months, making it the fastest-developing animal organism in the world. This rapid development is caused by antler's high content of bone morphogenetic proteins, which regulate bone growth, as well as growth factors I and II (IGF-1 & IGF-2). These growth factors increase the rate of cell division during antler development, and contribute to the medicinal and anti-aging effects of velvet antler.

A study conducted by Suttie and Haines found that animals fed high levels of velvet antler extract grew significantly faster than the control group. These animals also experienced increased liver weight and a higher bone calcium content. In addition, the researchers found that antler appeared to decrease calcium excretion. In another study researchers reported observing new bone formation following whiplash injuries in rabbits.
