**Tincture of Deer Antler Velvet**

--Cornu Cervi Parvum--

Despite playing a large role in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years, deer antler velvet has only just recently been popularized in the United States over the last couple decades. This superfood provides so many benefits to so many different parts of the body, it's no wonder that the western world finally caught on to it.

Deer antler velvet consists of the antlers of a deer at the middle of its growth stage. Deer, elk, and moose are the only mammals that have regenerative organs (antlers), which means that they naturally shed their antlers every winter and grow them back in the spring and summer. During this phase, the antlers will be covered in a light texture that feels like soft velvet to the touch, which is where the term velvet comes from. This process of the annual regrowth of antlers is likely what initially intrigued the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners when working with deer antler velvet. They learned that by taking certain parts of these antlers in the middle stages of their regrowth and taking them as medicine in various ways could mimic the regenerative effects in various organs in humans. Deer antler velvet also has a wide range of other uses.

The antlers used in this tincture are painlessly removed before any calcification takes place in the antlers. The antlers come from Red Deer and no deer are hurt or injured during the annual process of collecting the antlers.

How it works:

Deer Antler Velvet is very popular among high level athletes, with results so successful that it has been banned in some major professional sports organizations (they do not ban things that do not work). The key component in Antler Velvet that contributes to this are two hormones called Insulin-like Growth Factors 1 and 2, or IGF-1 (also called Somatomedin C) and IGF-2. They are called Insulin-like because they are molecularly similar to insulin. On top of these hormones, deer antler velvet is chock full of other vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, proteins, and nutrients.

How to take it?

Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this:

  • Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant

  • Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that

  • If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)

About our tinctures:

Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills. They are fast acting and last for years when stored properly. We pride ourselves on selling the highest quality tinctures available. We use only the finest, highest quality herbs from reputable growers all over the world.

Pure Health tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol, rather than what has become the industry standard of 30% or less (watch out for companies that list it as 50 proof, that just means it contains 25% alcohol). Alcohol is what ensures that each tincture is completely sterile and free of any bacteria, spores, or microbes. We also use high quality extracts instead of actual plant material to maximize the concentration of the solutions and minimize the amounts of plant material floating in each tincture.

Other suppliers claim to use large quantities of plant material, but they do not specify whether it is fresh or dry. Fresh plant material contains 80% or more water by weight. We exclusively use dehydrated plant materials to ensure potency, purity, and reliability of strength. We are confident that we provide the highest quality tinctures available. If you are not 100% satisfied with your order, we will either give you a replacement or a full refund.

Our tinctures are stored in amber brown glass Boston Round bottles with glass droppers attached (8oz size comes with a cap only, no dropper) and sealed with perforated shrink bands to ensure the purity and quality of the product. Orders are shipped within 1-3 business days through USPS First Class or USPS First Class International.
