Useful Information

With the exception of reindeer and caribou, antlers are found solely on males. Antlers are made of bone and sprout from the pedicle, a point just above their skulls. They are thought to help with foraging, combat, and courtship displays.

Testosterone in bucks initiates antler growth. While growing, a fuzzy skin called velvet covers the antlers, which is sensitive to the touch and rich in blood vessels. This velvet helps supply the antlers with essential nutrients for rapid growth.

Finding antlers in the wild is rare. Antlers, once shed, don't last very long—because they are so full of nutrients, they are quickly eaten by rodents or other animals. Our Spizzles antlers are all Grade A (#1) antlers, meaning that they have been collected in the past year as fresh drop. This ensures that they maintain their brown color and consistency compared to Grades B (#2), C (#3), and Chalky.

Used in Medicine

Chinese medicine has been using powdered deer antlers for at least 2,000 years with the belief that they:

  • Nourish the Yin
  • Tonify the kidney
  • Invigorate the spleen
  • Strengthen bone and muscle
  • Promote blood flow

 

Western medicine is looking into medicinal benefits as well and has found:

  • Potential to aid in tissue regeneration through topical use
  • High nutrition values
  • Deer velvet contains Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1)

 

Antlers are not horns!
