Now scientific research is backing up these 2,500 year old health benefits of velvet. In Asia, it has been used in the treatment of a number of conditions including anaemia, arthritis, impotence, bleeding and general pain.

Recent research has found deer velvet is a natural source of anti-inflammatories such as chrondoitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate. These help reduce the effects of swelling, joint pain, osteoporosis and arthritis.

Studies have been done on whether the collagen in velvet can repair damaged cartilage, while the natural growth factors have been linked to improved bone density. The recent research results and anecdotal evidence we have heard from customers indicate velvet can be a relief for joint pain.

A Japanese study has found that some of the components of deer velvet reduce the blood’s tendency to clot and thin the blood - improving circulation and reducing the risk of strokes and heart disease.

Other studies show general benefits to the immune system - ideal for warding off cold and flu any time of the year.

Rather than take these separate aspects, we sell our deer velvet as the whole therapeutic 'package'. Taking deer velvet in a capsule is the best way to enjoy all the benefits of this 100% natural tonic. Click here to buy WF Deer Velvet.
