- Recently in America, elk velvet antler has gained
attention as a health promoting supplement for the elderly and as a performance enhancer
for athletes. Elk antlers (in their velvet stage) have been used for thousands of years as
a nutritional supplement and in Oriental medicine as a restorative and as a tonic to
promote growth. It is said to restore energy, nourish the blood and improve mental power.
Velvet antler is also a renewable resource, since elk grow and shed a new set of antlers
every year.
