Hamish Carter, World Triathlon Champion 1998, and Rhys Duggan, All Black rugby player use New Zealand Deer Velvet in training.

Deer Velvet Antler was proven by New Zealand and Russian studies, to lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

AgResearch NZ scientists reported that "Velvet Antler promoted cell growth, was anti-inflammatory displayed anti-tumor and anti-viral effects and improved endurance. During deer antler growth, high levels of natural hormones and amino acids are present in the blood, including "Insulin-like Growth Factor-1" which is vital to us."

Chinese people have used Velvet Antler for 2000+ years.

Sports Performance

The disciplines of sports medicine and nutrition have arisen from the needs to combine training, injury treatment and nutritional programs to obtain the best athletic performances. Velvet Antler could be a training aid, a performance booster, a recovery promoter from physical activity, a treatment from injury and possibly an injury preventative.

Velvet Antler can assist performance by increasing stamina, oxygen capacity of the blood, repairing minor tissue damage in training or competition, and   boosting the immune system where compromise occurs during extreme exertion.

Russian Sports Research

Russian research ( Taneeva, Brechman ) showed 5 % improved times for athletes aged 18 - 23 years, over 3000 metres when given high doses (12 gm ) of deer velvet antler 30 minutes prior to the race.

The Dunedin School of Physical Education (1998 ), has clinical trials with athletes and is showing improvements in work rate after low dosage of 350 mg of deer velvet.

New Zealand Trials

A number of top NZ athletes such as Hamish Carter, triathlon, Trent Bray and Nick Tongue, swimming, and Rhys Duggan, football, are trialing (using 900 to 1200 mg of pure deer velvet powder capsules per day), the positive effects of deer velvet on their performance.

They have noticed a significant increase in stamina and energy output (about 5%) with increased recovery from body exertion. They have also experienced an improved freedom from illness and rapid recovery from any training or  competition injuries.

Hamish Carter & Deer Velvet Usage

Hamish Carter says "Since taking Standards Certified NZ Deer Velvet I have found that my recovery from training, competition and even travel has been greatly enhanced. I feel much more on top of my training schedule and this gives me confidence when I race."

"I was sceptical about the differences I was experiencing but when I removed velvet from my diet for several weeks I went through a noticeable slump in form.

I have been taking 1200 mg of velvet daily for 6 months and believe it has helped in giving me the endurance to be competitive day in and day out on the World Cup Triathlon Circuit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend velvet to anyone serious about their sport or for that matter serious about their health."
