Velvet
antler is naturally composed of:
•
Collagen cartilage
•
Glycosaminoglycan (lubricates the joints)
•
Chondroitin Sulfate (relieves arthritis symptoms)
•
Fatty acid, C18:3-Omega-6 Fatty (lowers cholesterol)
•
Poly Saccharides (improves circulation, decreases stroke risk)
•
All essential Amino Acids
•
Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron and Zinc (essential minerals)
•
Prostaglandins (reduce inflamation)
•
Alkaline Phosphatase (promotes tissue healing and cell repair)
•
Monoamine-oxidase Inhibitors (works as an antidepressant)
•
Bone Morphogenetic Protein (regulates bone growth)
•
Uronic Acid (improves circulation and decreases stroke risk)
•
Hyaluronic Acid (lubricates the joints)
•
Pantocrine (increases muscle performance)
•
Neutrophils (promotes body's resistance to disease and injury).
Indications for Use
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative disease resulting in
cartilage and bone loss and chronic joint pain. EVA is a good source
of chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate and glycosaminoglycans,
which have potent anti-inflammatory effects and significant clinical
implications in the treatment of osteoarthritis and other
degenerative muscle, bone and joint conditions.
RHEUMATOID
ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid
arthritis is a chronic inflammation of multiple joints in the body
resulting in degeneration of both cartilage and bone. The
administration of type ll collagen has been shown to result in
significant reduction in joint swelling and pain of patients with
rheumatoid arthritis. EVA is also a significant source of type ll
collagen, which may help reduce joint swelling and soreness.
IMMUNE SYSTEM
STIMULATION
A healthy
and robust immune system is essential to resist many diseases and
maintain good health. Recent studies have shown that the
administration of extracts of velvet antlers resulted in significant
immune stimulant activity.
INCREASED MUSCLE
STRENGTH AND NERVE FUNCTION
Multiple
studies conducted since the late 1960’s have shown that extracts of
velvet antler can dramatically increase the dynamic work potential
of athletes by increasing muscle and nerve strength and function.
Recently, US researchers concluded that EVA may have positive
effects in reducing body fat and increasing strength and power in
men doing resistance training.
INJURY RECOVERY
AND TISSUE REPAIR
Various studies have shown that EVA speeds the
healing and recovery from injuries such as whiplash, surgery and
other trauma sustained to the body. EVA has also been shown to
prevent or reduce both shock and stress responses.
OTHER CONDITIONS
EVA may also benefit the elderly through
protective effects against the onset of senility. Anecdotal
reports suggest that EVA reduces the severity of symptoms in pre &
post-menopausal women and helps offset the onset of osteoporosis.
Who Uses EVA
My customers
use velvet for a variety of different conditions including general
overall wellness, anti-aging effects, increased energy, pain
associated with arthritis, back/body pain, joint stiffness, high or
low blood pressure, poor blood/oxygen circulation, migraines &
headaches, menopausal and menstrual disorders, low-sex drive,
erectile dysfunction, Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, to speed up
recovery time from injuries such as whiplash, helps repair muscles
after exercise, and surgery. As with other natural health products,
Canadian laws prevent specific medical claims. However, I can refer
you to the growing scientific literature on the benefits of velvet,
as well as a number of very impressive testimonials!
As with any
new product you are considering taking, you should consult your
Doctor prior to starting EVA. This product should not be used if you
have (or have had) a hormone-dependant cancer (i.e. breast/ovaries
and/or prostate).
How Much EVA
Powder Should I Take
On average,
the recommended daily dosage for humans is 560-580mg’s of EVA daily
until you feel noticeable, consistent improvements. At this time,
you can decrease your daily intake if you choose to, as this is not
a requirement. What works for you depends on many factors, including
your age, weight, stress levels, and the nature of your ailment(s).
Often, when people have sustained an injury, or, are recovering from
surgery, they will increase their daily dosage by as much as 50%-75%
for the first 4-6 weeks. *As well, a number of reports indicate a
higher success rate with people taking approximately 250mg’s EVA/50
lbs. of bodyweight. (This is what I personally recommend - at least
for the initial “loading phase” of 4-6 weeks. I personally follow
this dosage daily).
Given that
there are wide dosage safety margins, and no known/documented
contradictions when used with other medications (i.e. blood
pressure/cholesterol, etc.), the dosage that works for you may be
different from what works for someone else.
Most people begin to feel
improvements (mentally/physically/emotionally) within the first few
weeks of
taking their recommended daily dosage of EVA powder. This being
said, and, as with most natural products,
6-12 weeks of continued, “daily use”, is a more realistic amount of
time to give any natural product a
proper chance to work to achieve optimal results. It is also best to
take your EVA powder in the mornings,
unless you are “doubling-up” (to treat intense muscle-joint pain,
after surgery, etc.), at which time you
can take ½ in the AM and ½ in the PM.
