Quality Products
Because of the revolutionary, patented technology around the processing of our
velvet antler, (an ingredient found in most Impax Therapy products), we can honestly say
that our products are superior to most products on the market today. Impax Therapy uses
the whole antler, including the velvet.
The traditional and most common form of processing velvet antler used
throughout the world is as follows: At harvest, the antler is taken from the animal, and
the velvet (the soft velvet like fibers that cover the antler) is burned off. This exposes
the antler to heat, which compromises the quality of the end product. The antler is then
freeze dried and shipped off for further processing.
The velvet antler used in the products produced by Impax Therapy is processed
as follows:
At harvest, the antler is taken from the animal in its optimum stage of growth. This
insures the highest concentration of growth factors and other unique compounds that give
velvet antler its profound regenerative qualities. It is then processed by using sound
frequencies. No heat is generated with this process, thereby keeping all of the properties
of the velvet antler intact. No other process allows for the "velvet" of the
antler to be used. The velvet itself contains many important co-factors. An added benefit
to this procedure is that all bacteria is completely eradicated, leaving the finished
product free of any contaminants.
It is important to note that the animals are not harmed in any way. The deer
and elk that are raised to produce velvet antler are highly revered and cared for.
Immediately following the removal of the antler, the animal is released back into the
field to go about his day. Most animals feel nothing at all. Those that do, feel only a
slight soreness equivalent to our fingernail being cut too short. Remember that velvet
antler is a renewable resource and the farmer is counting on next years harvest.
