What does he say he's taking it for?As entertaining as this thread has been (thank you witty people!) I was hoping there would be some actual feedback from anyone who has used it because my son is using it. Some nasty tasting spray that goes under the tongue. So far he hasn't had any side effects (good or bad) but I was hoping for some experiences from others.
He heard it would help him build muscle so he takes it before a workout. He's not convinced so I don't think he'll be buying any more since there haven't been any measurable results.
How old is your son? If he is still living at home why would you allow him to use a supposed 'supplement' without thoroughly researching it first? While this one might be relatively harmless, some of them can be quite dangerous.0 -
Yeah, I think he quickly discovered that. And yes, thankfully no shooting of steroids. Kids. Gotta learn somehow I guess.
Maybe no shooting steroids...
...but he should probably be slamming protein drinks.
Drinking them is far less effective than slamming them too. I suppose he could pound them, but slamming seems to be the preferred method for maximal muscle gains.0 -

As long as they are still attached to the deer and you are carrying the whole thing a mile or so back to the truck. Uphill is even better.

I can see how this could be effective. Walking around "shed hunting" will burn calories and could result in decreased weight and or increased fitness. If you find a shed antler then giving it to a dog to chew on or mounting it on the wall is optional.
ETA: Warning! If you live in North America, and plan on taking up this activity immediately, please remember to wear hunter's orange while out in the woods. It is deer hunting season and you wouldn't want to be mistaken for the animal that is attached to the antlers this time of the year.
1 - the velvet dries, itches, and they rub it off in August. There is no velvet on their antlers when they are mature, so there wouldn't be any on sheds found in the woods.
2 - In most states, the gun deer season is sometime in the fall/early winter. Bucks don't shed their antlers until the end of winter, in February or March, so it wouldn't make much sense to look for them in the deer hunting season.
I was being silly, even though velvet harvesting has been around forever, I am unaware of any benefit in ingesting it. The only benefit that I can see in antlers was the exercise one would get looking for them, finding them would be immaterial to any benefit that would come from searching for them.0 -

The winner in the deer race is always in the doe. . .or swimming in the bucks.0

I mentioned in my first post that he's 23. Owns his own home, is self-sufficient, and is not a child. He's smart. I trust him. This is just a silly thing he tried.0 -
