Deer Velvet - An Adaptogen
Adaptogens are described as substances that increase the body's ability, as a whole, to withstand stress and ward off exhaustion. Most adaptogens are natural remedies with long histories of traditional use. Modern research shows adaptogens have non-specific abilities to strengthen an organisms resistance to ageing, illness and fatigue. The ingredients in Deer Velvet are raw materials our bodies need to create substances needed for good health. Adaptogens, in this case Deer Velvet, assist with a wide range of conditions creating balance and harmony in the body when needed.
Adaptogens are classified as non-toxic. A general toxicological study of New Zealand Deer Velvet was carried out in 1998. The study showed that after 90 days of treatment with New Zealand Deer Velvet, rats had no treatment related toxicological and histopathological abnormalities. The doses used on the rats are far greater than doses anticipated for human consumption.
Deer Velvet - An amazing combination of many substances
Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium which together make up a vast proportion of the human skeleton, silicon for the bone and cartilage formation, zinc is necessary in growing and repairing of body tissue, maintaining the immune system and nourishing healthy hair, eyes and skin. It tunes the male reproductive system, maintains the function of the prostate gland and the production of testosterone in men.
Manganese helps in the synthesis or cartilage and in the development and maintenance of healthy bones. Manganese is vital for the production of glycoprotein's which surround and protect our body's cells from attacks of viruses.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS:
IGF 1 & 2: (insulin like growth factor) for muscle development, growth and maintenance of bones and stimulates cartilage growth,
Omega 3 & 6: Essential fatty acids
Gangliosides: Promotes memory and learning function
Enzymes: Catalas and peroxidase.
Sugars: Arabinose, deoxyribose, fucose, galactose, mannose, ribose, xylose.
Minerals: Calcium, potassium, chlorine, sulphur, phosphorus, silicon, magnesium, sodium, nitrogen, manganese, iron, copper, zinc.
Amino acids: Collagen is the major protein and consists of glycine, alanine, proline, hydroxyproline and glutamic acid.
Lipids: Protoeolipids, gangliosides, sphingomyelins.
FATTY ACIDS:
Saturated fats: Palmatic Acid, Stearic Acid.
Unsaturated fats: Oleic Acid, Palamitoleic.
Phospholipids: Lecithin and cephalin.
Hormones: Estrone, testosterone and a substance similar to progesterone.
Iron: Iron is needed for the production of hemoglobin, to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen around our body. Copper is involved in iron metabolism. Potassium and sodium control the passage of substances in and out of cells
Nitrogen: is important in the muscles. All nutrients contribute in some way to a healthy immune system.
These minerals alone could explain velvets use for osteoporosis, anemia and a growth stimulant for children.
Amino Acids: All parts of our bodies are made from amino acid and minerals. Amino acids build cells and repair tissues. Essential amino acids have to be obtained from food or supplements for our body to make the other amino acids it needs. Athletes use amino acid supplements to boost energy and to assist with injury recovery.
Collagen: Deer velvet contains collagen, a compound important in the connective tissues of our skin, hair and bones, important with the mineral silicon.
Hormones: Male and female hormones are found in deer velvet which could relate to the Chinese use of it for infertility in men and women and the beneficial effect it has during menopause. Hormones are also involved in the good health of our bones.
Lipids: Velvet contains a large amount of lipids. Linolenic acid and prostaglandins, two very important substances. Our body turns linolenic acid into G.L.A., which then plays a role in helping to maintain the levels of prostaglandins. Simply, prostaglandins are cell function regulators and exercise control over just about everything in our body, telling it how to react to infection, inflammation and pain.
Lecithin and muccopolysaccharides: Are compounds involved in cholesterol breakdown.
Sugars, arabinose deoxyribose that form D.N.A. and many many more substances are found in deer velvet.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulphate, amino sugars that are important in the body for joint maintenance and repair, also important for bone, ligament and cartilage growth. Chondroitin has an anti-flammatory effect.
While the use of Deer velvet in Oriental medicine has a long tradition, scientific evaluation of its purported pharmacological and bio-active effects is more recent. Studies originate mainly from the former U.S.S.R., also Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong and in recent years New Zealand; partly as a result of work by Brekhmans and others, there is increasing interest in products which have a tonic effect. This is where velvet has found its niche. Oriental tradition believes in the promotion of good health and prevention of illness.
