Deer velvet, also known as velvet antler, elk antlers, deer antlers, or deer antler velvet, is harvested by experienced farmers skilled in deer care. Our deer velvet, sourced from New Zealand Red Deer, stands out due to New Zealand's stringent livestock laws, ensuring the deer are treated with the highest level of care throughout the harvesting process.
Deer velvet is harvested by carefully removing the soft, growing antlers of male deer while they are still in their velvet stage. This process is typically done under veterinary supervision to minimize stress and ensure the animal's safety. The deer antlers are then processed to create supplements, with the velvet antler containing growth factors and nutrients believed to have various health benefits.
