Velvet Antler: A Literature Review
Velvet antler polysaccharides have been associated with anti-ulcer effects, the choline compoumds to hypotensive actions. Glucosaminoglycans, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate, have potent anti-inflammatory effects and significant clinical implications in the treatment of osteoarthritis and other degenerative muscle, bone and joint conditions. In addition, studies suggest that peptide growth factors, such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), may have a role in wound healing, and may be useful in the estrogen replacement therapies, since EGF supplants estrogen in genital tract development. IGF-1, luteinizing hormones and protaglandins alter inflammatory events, muscular atrophy and androgen formation. Oxygen metabolism, blood cell formation and muscle tissue enhancement may stimulate rejuvenative and tonic actions that benefit athletes, the elderly and cardiovascular disease patients alike. Velvet antler awaits scientific determination of its clinical efficacy in the treatment of RA. However, its collagen content indicates that its effects would be beneficial. In light of the collagen and GAG research that has been performed in clinical settings, and due to their concentrations in quality velvet antler products, velvet antler has received scientific sustantiation to be marketed as dietary supplement for the support of healthy joint function.
