Elk Antler Pills Are Not Just For Pets

By Catherine Cole


Another chapter from the wise pages of ancient Eastern medicine has reached the eyes, ears, and minds of Western people. As if we do not owe them a debt of gratitude for shark cartilage, coconut oil, and seaweed wraps; now we are learning how both humans and their pets can reap health benefits from elk antler pills, especially as we grow older.

These sages have been scraping the velvet antlers for more than a thousand years. As with many ancient remedies, it was steeped into teas to aid the herders by maintaining a healthy immune system all year long. In addition, it was said to help keep them from suffering stiffness in their joints caused by cold and moisture, as herders spend much of their lives exposed to the elements.

In fact, this product contains collagen, glucosamine, insulin as well as epidermal growth factors, and other minerals that aid in lubrication of joints, muscle growth and repair, and wound healing. Many of these minerals are missing in most foods due to over-cultivation of land. This deficiency impacts humans and their pets alike.

Even the stags themselves know the benefits, as they are often seen nibbling on their own velvety antlers in the wild. The minerals contained within act like a salt lick for humans, as well as their dogs and cats. Mineral deficiencies are responsible for many of the ailments we suffer due to over-cultivation and irresponsible reuse of farm land.

Not only does this supplement aide in body and immune support for both humans and animals, but it does so without incurring ANY bad Karma. These baby Elks are cared for by their herders in the East, and by their own Veterinarians here in the West. At the age of two these young stags have their antlers removed each year so that the velvet can be harvested from them.

Stags will lose their entire rack, velvet and all, every year naturally. It is a completely renewable resource which takes nothing from the stag that it will not get back next year, as Nature intended. In the wild, these proud beasts lose their rack like clockwork, for there is a hormonal change which takes place on the Eve of their rutting season.

This yearly harvesting is done until the stags reach the age of fifteen years. The fate of these beautiful creatures varies depending on who their caretakers are. Herders do not always feel comfortable eating the stags when they have reached the end of their age of harvest, so often they are set free where they can live out their lives by their own wits.

In the United States they are often set free for the same reason, but sometimes people do buy the animal and take it to slaughter themselves. Their flesh is an organic source of meat, which is healthy for anyone. So, long after they have gifted us with vitality from their antlers, they continue to give to us with the gift of their flesh, their skin, their sacred life.
