Dragon Herbs® deer are Sika deer raised in a beautiful valley on the western slope of Changbai Mountain in Manchuria and are certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health to be clean and safe. They have access to their favorite natural diet and clean open sheds for shelter 24/7. They run freely in the surrounding hills during the day and are protected in corrals during the night. Deer are considered in Asia to be a "higher order" animal and are respected and loved by their caregivers.

The deer are NOT killed to harvest their antlers. The antler tips are humanely and painlessly collected in June from male deer with two or three branches. The deer then grow new antler. This ensures the Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops are a humane and renewable "crop." Deer antler contains mucopolysaccharides which promote regeneration of antler tissue. This same substance supports regeneration of tissue to those who consume it.*

Like all yang herbs, deer antler is used to strengthen the back, knees, and waist. Deer Antler is used by athletes around the world to improve muscular strength and to help increase muscle mass. As a dietary supplement, deer antler supports neurological functions, enhancing mental power. It has been demonstrated to support cardiovascular function and maintain elasticity in the skin and connective tissue.*

Suitable for both men and women, deer antler is well known as a yang sexual tonic, supporting sexual vigor and function.* Deer antler is the most precious and potent of substances that fortify the yang energy of the kidney. It offers support to adrenal, reproductive, and brain function. It is universally believed in the Orient to support sexual virility and fertility.

Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is a unique product in the U.S. market. It is the only deer antler product made entirely from antler tips. The growth tip remains soft and biochemically rich, like the fresh leaves at the tip of a growing plant. Even if a deer antler is 18" long, it is estimated that 90% of the biologically active constituents of the entire antler are contained in the last inch (the tip). Dragon Herbs never uses the middles or the bottoms of the antlers. Cutting only the tips allows for regrowth, and ensures that their deer antler drops are rich in nutrition.

The Science Behind Deer Antler as a tonic dietary supplement has focused mainly on its regenerative properties. Studies conducted in Europe indicate that the ability to regenerate is partially due to the rich supply of substances known as asectosaponins. These complex chemical agents are found more abundantly in lower animals, in which the ectosaponins cause a wide variety of tissues 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. If the tale is broken off a Gecko or similar lizard or the appendages broken off a starfish, these appendages re-grow --- bone, connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, flesh and all (no bones in star fishes). 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.

Numerous studies done in China, Japan, Russia and Korea have shown that deer antler supports muscular and mental endurance, supports sleep and supports normal appetite. Deer antler has been shown to support the oxygen uptake of the brain, liver and kidneys in laboratory animals. It also supports red and white blood cell production in laboratory animals.*

Deer antler extract provides minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients. It also supports insulin-like growth factor IGF-1 functions in the human body.* Traditionally, it has been used to reinforce kidney yang, to tonify yin jing, and to tonify blood.*

Remember Ron Teeguarden's First Rule of Tonic Herbalism - Compliance. If you don't take the herbs, they won't work.

Ingredients: Sika Deer Antler tips

Other Ingredients: Water, Gluten-Free Alcohol

Extraction Information: Our Deer Antler drops are extracted at a 4:1 ratio with just the very tip of the antlers which are rich in polysaccharides and hyaluronic acid, and contain 90% of the bioactive nutrients we look for from this tonic. 

This rich nature often results in a thick, sometimes chunky formulation. It is perfectly normal, and should be considered a marker for the richness and quality of an herbal extract. If uncomfortable with the "mouth feel" we recommend diluting the dose in a cup of water or tea, and to always shake the bottle before using. 

Ethical Harvesting Information: Dragon Herbs Sika Deer are raised humanely and sustainably in a beautiful valley on the western slope of Changbai Mountain in Manchuria, China. The free range farm is certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health, ensuring that the antler tips are clean and safe. The deer have access to their favorite natural diet and clean open sheds for shelter. They run freely in the surrounding hills during the day and are protected at night from predators in corrals at night.

The deer are NOT killed to harvest their antler tips, and only from male deer that have between two and three branches. The antlers grow back as the season progresses, and the second set of antler is not harvested. The life expectancy of the deer on the farm is significantly longer than that of wild deer, who often starve or are killed by predators or in male-with-male libido-driven fighting. Deer are highly valued in the Chinese culture as "higher order" animals, and they are respected and loved by their caregivers. They live an astounding life, feasting on mulberry leaves in the local hills and forests, and returning to their cozy sheds at night within the safe confines of their corrals.

Sika Deer Antler Tips are rare and considered the best deer antler. You will see these flower-spotted deer frolicking alongside Shou Lao, the God of Longevity, in old Chinese paintings, and also alongside Magu, the Goddess of Youth and Beauty. Sika deer have long been revered in Asia for their antler since ancient times. Due to Dragon Herbs' on-the-ground connections in Asia, they provide premium quality Sika deer antler drops for the same price, or lower, than inferior products. Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops are made exclusively with Sika deer antler tips cut from the last 3/4" of the antlers.
