The Primal Tonic

Deer/elk antler velvet has been a tonic mainstay among Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years. The part of the antler that is used is the soft velvet inside of the antler, before it reaches full development and calcifies. This is a sustainable practice when done properly, not harming the animal in anyway. Antler velvet is most commonly extracted via alcohol, in the form of a tincture. It is the primal endurance tonic; It is not toxic in any dosage, and can be taken as much as needed and/or desired. It is the superior remedy for promoting endurance, stamina, strength, regeneration, and sexual function. It combats stress and fatigue.

When I say regeneration, I mean it: It actually regenerates your system, on a cellular level. It is a natural source of the growth hormone, IGF-1 – Thus, it stimulates growth hormones in the pituitary gland. This process builds your bones, muscles, and nerves while reducing body fat and increasing your lean body mass. Consider how common bone disease and dysfunction is among the elderly; Antler velvet prevents and battles this degeneration. How about senility that takes place in humans as we age? Antler velvet is an MAO-enzyme inhibitor. MAO-enzymes break down certain neurotransmitters in the brain such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine; Vital neurotransmitters to our health and happiness. MAO activity increases throughout the aging process. Antler velvet stops this process from taking place, through inhibiting these enzymes. It assists in the production of more red blood cells, which oxygenate your muscles. This provides an alarmingly rapid ability to build and recover muscles. In my experience, my muscle mass began an upward increase immediately after beginning daily use of velvet. Strength-wise, I experienced immediate results after using velvet. While engaging in daily exercise, my muscle mass increased rapidly, while having long-lasting energy to burn all day long.

It also increases the production of white blood cells, which are essential to maintaining an properly functioning immune system. I rarely experience illness, and when symptoms do surface, I fight them off basically overnight. This proves my immune system is strong and resilient, from the help of the velvet extract. Antler velvet establishes a thriving immune function in your body! Not only does it act like a warrior working side by side with your immune system, it completely re-builds your system!

I generally hear of velvet being highly regarded as a tonic for men. Well, through my research and experience, I have found it to be just as beneficial for Women! Studies have shown that velvet treats menstrual issues and alleviates menopausal symptoms. This makes sense, because we tent to experience cramping and pain around our cycles. Velvet is known to treat muscle and joint pain, and the cramping we feel is happening in our uterine musculature. I always had severe cramping before my cycle. Some months it would be so bad I would throw up, feeling like I couldn’t move without being overcome by nausea. I went without my cycle for an extended time, even while I was using velvet, but when it regulated once again, my physical pains around my cycle were completely gone! No cramps, much less bloating, no more headaches or depression. The velvet obviously went to work on the muscles of my pelvis, for that is where the cramping is coming from. Velvet is strung with the powerful IGF growth hormones, which help to balance the endocrine system. When our hormones are balanced, we experience regular menstrual cycles. Depression is common in PMS, along with pre-menopause. Because velvet is an MAO-inhibitor as I stated before, it maintains and stimulates a healthy production of our neurotransmitters which prevents depression and actually increases our happiness! Perhaps velvet should be considered as a hormonal remedy, rather than the Western medical approach of hormone replacement therapy…

If we have an optimally function endocrine system, we will have a healthy sexual interest. Velvet has been known to increase the libido and even the size of the sex organs in Women and men. Tests have been done where the females uterus and ovaries increased in weight, after using velvet extract! I never had sexual dreams, my whole life. Women and men always shared theirs with me, and I thought the concept of them to be odd. Now, after using velvet for quite some time, I frequently have sex-involved dreams, waking up with a heightened sexual awareness and libido, in general. My sex drive has also sky rocketed. The more my hormones come into a state of balance, the higher my interest in sex is and the better the sex that I have, actually is! I believe velvet to have the effect of tuning us into our sexual needs and desires, allowing us to achieve a higher state of pleasure.

For thousands of years, velvet has been prescribed to Women in China if they were experiencing infertility. It increases fertility through its balancing effect on our hormones and ensures the health of mother and baby. Studies have shown that deer antler velvet helps to increase lactation in breast-feeding mothers, while rejuvenating her overall health after giving birth.

I have been using deer antler velvet extract, produced by my friends cutting-edge company SurThrival, for almost a year now. After incorporating velvet into my daily use, I feel as though my body has transformed. Of course, other healing forms of nourishment have aiding in the transformation, but not many other things have the rebuilding and regenerating powers like velvet does. The shape of my musculature is massively different than it was before I began using velvet. I am physically strong and durable. My immune system is a powerhouse, fighting the excess of free radicals in our environment, ruthlessly. My hormones continue to rebalance, providing a regular menstrual cycle, moods of ecstasy, and a healthy sex drive. I continually see changes and developments taking place in my body, physical and spiritual!
