Deer Antler

[gettinbetter]

Hello

Have any of you used Deer Antler?
If so how did you prepare it?
How much did you use?
Did you notice any benefits?

Thanks

Deer Antler Velvet was popular 19 years ago when I first got sick. You could buy capsules I think. If I remember, it was proven to do nothing and was just crap some doctors were pushing on people.

I don't know if I'd waste my money when there are so many other things to take

OK Thanks
From what I have read it's a big part of Chinese Medicine
and my acupuncturist recommended it
I am not using the capsules but the actual deer antler boiled down and drank like a tea

If you google it, most people say the caps helped for awhile and then stopped. I've never heard of just dear antler tea.

But if it helps you, why not? I know there are people here smarter than me who may know more than me.

Someone will chime in I'm sure.

Be trying rhino horn or tiger penis next. Sorry but I have to draw the line somewhere. Each to their own though I guess.

Here's some more info about deer antler, mostly from a hunting perspective:

I think you would get as much benefit from venison soup or calcium supplements.

I don't think I'll be trying it any time soon, but David Wolfe likes it. Heard him talking about it.

I never pay attention to glowing reports from people who sell stuff. Plus it's very expensive.

Thanks
Not to much objective information except for the link
One of my concerns is that the animals are not abused that supply it

I am also wondering how people use it
Daily a few times a week what time of day etc

Plus it's very expensive.

I get mine at a chinese herb shop it is expensive per ounce but a little goes a long way
I make a tea out of it and drink a sip a few times a week
Here are my observations
I get an increase in muscle strength not energy
It does not hype me up
It leaves the system fairly rapidly
I does not seem to alleviate PEM
