    What's it for?

    according to webmd, it is for:

    Loss of interest in sex (low libido)
    Erectile dysfunction
    Arthritis pain
    Injuries
    Osteoporosis
    Liver damage
    Anemia

    Some supporters also say that deer velvet can:

    Improve performance in sports
    Increase energy
    Improve immune function
    Help you better handle stress

    Which of course means it's a giant waste of money.

    It's complete and total nonsense. The supplement is sold almost purely based on marketing. There are no decent studies showing that it does anything useful.

    We give it to our 13yo black labrador per our vet. It's done wonders for his doggie arthritis. Never heard of it having anything to do with weight loss in humans tho.

    Aah yes, I've seen them in our pet store. $14 for a small one, 10 inches or so :open_mouth:

    Those poor deer! If they have antlers, they must need them. :)

    Seriously, what is deer antler supplement supposed to do?

    If it has to do with weight loss, the only valid supplement for weight loss is a calorie deficit.

    Actually this stuff is in capsule form, made from the deer antler velvet. I'd never heard of it b4 but our vet recommended it. Shadow has major arthritis in his spine and hips. Our vet suggested we try it since he was maxed out on the amount of pain meds he could safely take. He's been on it for a month now and we've been able to reduce his pain meds and he's regained some of his old bounce. He hasn't lost any weight tho. :wink:

    Deer usually shed their antlers annually. The growth seems to happen in relation to the testosterone increases that happen around mating seasons, which is why people pedal the stuff as a some kind of testosterone booster.

    So probably no animals besides humans are getting hurt with this stuff.

    Deer antlers are great for weight loss




    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. ;)
