Deer antler is mainly used as a rejuvenating and strengthening agent. Short term use is believed to quickly build strength and power, while consistent long-term use is believed to re-build and maintain deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity. Like all yang herbs, deer antler is used to strengthen the back, knees and waste, but deer antler is considered to be the most powerful such agent and is usually the main herb in any formula in which it is included. It is used to strengthen the skeletal structure in both adults and children. It is also widely used to improve mental power. Deer antler has also been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular function and to strengthen the nervous system.

Primary Traditional Functions
Reinforcing Kidney Yang, tonifies Yin Jing, tonifies blood.

Who Can Use This Formula
Those who wish to increase primal Yang energy.

Typical Usage
1 or 2 squeezes of the dropper (~35 - 70 drops), 1 -3 times per day, or as desired

Note
Deer antler is a rare type of organ in the higher animal kingdom. It is one of the few complex organ structures which regenerates in an annual rhythm and which will regenerate if cut or broken off. This regenerative power is what has most intrigued scientists in recent years, just as it has the Asian people through the ages.

Studies conducted in Europe indicate that the ability to regenerate is due to the rich supply of substances known as ectosaponins. This complex chemical agent is are found more abundantly in lower animals, in which the ectosaponins cause a wide variety of tissue to regenerate. The ectosaponin in deer antler is very similar to ectosaponins found at the tail bases of many lizards, such as the Gecko lizard, and in the legs of star fish. Just as in the case of deer antler, if the tale is broken off a Gecko or similar lizard or the legs broken off a starfish, these appendages re-grow---bone, nerves blood vessels, flesh and all. The ectosaponins extracted from deer antler, as well as from Gecko and star fish all have shown remarkable regenerative effects on all types of tissue, including nerve tissue, which generally does not regenerate significantly. For example, experiments have been done by administering these ectosaponins (as pantocrin) to frogs and mice whose limbs have been amputated, resulting in imperfect, but impressive, re-growth of the limb including the paws and toes.

Research indicates that moderate doses of pantocrin (primarily the alcohol extract of deer antler) benefit cardiovascular function by helping to regulate heart rhythm and by raising blood pressure and circulation in people with chronic poor circulation.

Numerous studies done in China, Japan and Korea have shown that pantocrin increases work capacity, decreases muscular and mental fatigue, improves sleep and improves appetite. Deer antler has been shown to increase the oxygen uptake of the brain, liver and kidneys in laboratory animals. It also significantly increased red and white blood cell production in laboratory animals, with the effects increasing as dose was increased.
