Deer Antler Drops   Deer Antler is considered to be one of the "big three" ultimate “herbs” (dietary supplements) of China - Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom and Deer Antler. All three are tonic herbs that have been used since pre-historic times to prolong life, improve energy, to protect the body and to promote wisdom. They are not used to treat any kind of ailment, but to support normal healthy life functions so as to promote wellbeing and longevity. Deer Antler is a Yang Jing herb, but it also tonifies Yin Jing, Qi, Blood and Shen. It therefore tonifies all three Treasures.    Deer Antler contains mucopolysaccharides that promote the regeneration the antler tissue in the deer. This same substance supports regeneration of tissue to those who consume it.   Deer Antler extract is considered to be the most powerful Yang tonic dietary supplement and is usually the main herb in any formula in which it is included. Deer Antler is used by athletes to support muscular strength. Deer Antler extract consumed as a dietary supplement supports the human in vivo production of IGF-1, a vital substance closely related to human growth hormone that regulates metabolism and hormone functions.    Deer Antler extract is used to support the skeletal structure, especially the back and knees. Deer Antler helps support cartilage and joint function.   As a dietary supplement that supports neurological functions, Deer Antler extract is also widely used to support mental power.     Deer antler has also been demonstrated to support cardiovascular function.    Deer Antler extract contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, also produced in the human body, that maintains elasticity of the skin and connective tissue.    Deer Antler is also well known as a sexual tonic for both men and women. Deer Antler is suitable to both men and women, though men will generally consume Deer Antler in larger quantities. It is a Yang tonic that helps restore sexual vigor and performance for decreased sexual function associated with aging.   Why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is Unique   Dragon Herbs Deer Antler is a unique product in the U.S. market. There are dozens of other “deer velvet” products available, but Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is the ONLY product made ENTIRELY from Deer Antler tips. What does that mean? And what does that mean for you?   Deer Antler grows from its “tips.” As it grows, the soft body of the antler hardens, while the growing tip remains soft and bio-chemically rich. It is just like the fresh leaves at the tip of a growing plant. It has been estimated that 90% of the biologically active constituents of the ENTIRE antler is contained in just the last inch of the antler, known as the "tip," even if the antler is 18 inches long. The tip of the antler is of course more expensive than the lower parts of the antler, because those deep into the trade know that this is the most valuable part. This has been true for a thousand years. However, since the tip contains most of the active constituents of the entire antler, it is in fact a fabulous value. It may cost three times as much, but it is at least 10 times as potent. Again, Dragon Herbs ONLY uses tips (the soft last inch of the deer antler) to make its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. We never use the "middles" or "bottoms" of the antler since these parts are hardened, dry and lack the chemical components that make Deer Antler biologically active in humans.    Unfortunately for consumers, other companies are now putting the word “tips” on their description of deer antler. They are doing this in response to Dragon Herbs educating the public about the differences in deer antler products. However, they show no evidence of actually using tips.     A deer antler, as sold in a Chinese herb shop, is divided into three divisions, tips, middles and bottoms.  That part growing closest to the end, usually the last inch of each branch of the antler, is called the tip.  The segment from that beginning of the tip to the fork of the antler is called the middle and the main trunk of the antler is called the bottom. All three segments of the deer antler are used in Chinese tonic herbalism. The bottoms, because they are the largest segment, are most commonly available and most widely used in commercial products. The middles and tips are generally only available in herb shops, except in rare products that feature these segments.    A Note about the Deer   Dragon Herbs deer are farmed in Changbai Mountain, and are certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health to be clean and safe. Since the deer are so valuable and since deer antler is essentially a renewable “crop,” deer are highly protected in all Asian countries. They thrive under the conditions established. The antler is cut off the live deer when the antler has developed either two or three branches, yet remains relatively soft (depending on the part of the antler) and covered by “velvet,” usually in the month of June in China.   The Dragon Herbs team has visited the deer farm of our supplier in a beautiful valley on the Western slope of Changbai Mountain, a volcanic region in Manchuria, on many occasions and can testify that the deer are in fantastic health and are well cared-for. The deer are fed their favorite natural diet, including mulberry leaves, their favorite food. The deer are housed in clean  open sheds with corrals where they have 24/7 opportunity to move about and eat. They are allowed to run freely in the hills associated with the farm during the day, and at night return to the protected housing where they are kept safe from predators (wolves and large cats).    The deer used by Dragon Herbs are NOT killed to harvest their antlers. The antlers are humanely and painlessly collected from male deer in the early summer – when the antler is about six weeks old and still covered in a coat of “velvet” – females do not produce antler, except for elk, which Dragon Herbs does not use. After this harvesting, the deer then grow new antlers as the season progresses and this second set of antler is not harvested. Because the antlers that do grow into the fall are smaller, the male deer tend to fight considerably less. The life expectancy of the male deer from whom the antler are collected is significantly longer than that of wild deer, who often die as a result of excessive male-with-male libido-driven fighting and from starvation. Far more of the male deer mate as a result of this process, which makes them very happy indeed. Deer are highly valued in the Chinese culture and are respected and loved by their care givers. Deer are considered in Asia to be a “higher order” animal.   Quality - Different Species, Different Results   Selecting high quality deer antler is an art. There are many sources, grades, cuts and qualities --- and there are counterfeits. The antler plays a major part in male sexual role of the male deer. Larger antlers are produced by deer that are more sexual and this deer antler is more potent. However, size alone will tell you only a little about the quality of a selection of deer antler. Dragon Herbs has used the same established source of deer antler tips for many years.   Deer Antler can have a number of origins. Deer Antler entering the American market may originate in China, Russia, Mongolia, Alaska or New Zealand. All of these places have robust Deer Antler businesses. They all produce excellent deer; however, the quality will differ depending on the processing and the variety of deer.    Sika Deer is considered to be the best deer antler, but it is rare. These are small spotted deer that are natural to northeastern Asia. This kind of deer has been absolutely revered in Asia for its deer antler since ancient times. Over hunting reduced the supply to nearly zero, but they are now humanely farmed in northeastern China and their antler is again available in limited quantities. This deer is also known in China as the “spotted deer” and as the “flower deer,” since their white spots are actually shaped like a flower. You will see the Sika deer alongside Shou Lao, the God of Longevity, in old Chinese paintings, and also alongside Magu, the Goddess of Youth and Beauty. The symbolism is obvious. The Sika is a small deer and its antlers are likewise small. But small is not the issue, potency is. These deer are extremely well cared-for. This is the most valuable antler in the world.   Previously, Dragon Herbs only used Sika Deer Antler in its private reserve productions, but now it is available to everyone, so long as it is available each year.    And remember, the tips are by far the most precious and most expensive part of the deer antler. Due to our on-the-ground connections in Asia, we can provide this premium quality Deer Antler at the same price, or lower, than inferior products.   And remember, these deer are protected and live an astounding life. These deer live longer than fully wild deer. They are allowed to roam free during the daytime in local hills and forests, and then they return to their shelter at night where they are fed mulberry leaves, their favorite food. Do not fear for our deer, they have it very good.   Mallow Deer, also known as the “horse deer,” is another popular variety of deer from which their antler is harvested. This is the most common variety of deer antler available in China. It is very good (but not as good as Sika deer antler). Mallow deer farms are abundant in northeast China. These very hardy, very large deer (thus the name “horse deer”) produce large antlers and therefore are valuable to the farmers on a pound-by-pound basis. These deer are well cared-for.   Red Deer from New Zealand is commonly sold in the U.S. market. New Zealand is a very special place. It is clean and its government keeps it that way. Deer farming is a big industry in New Zealand. Red deer produce quality antler, though not as potent as the antler from Sika or Mallow deer. These deer are very well cared-for. A large number of the New Zealand deer are slaughtered for their meat, which is consumed in Australia and exported overseas. The deer are not nearly as protected in New Zealand as they are in China.   Dragon Herbs has established a permanent relationship with a Sika Deer cooperative in Changbai Mountain. Currently, due to our good fortune, Dragon Herbs only uses Sika Deer to produce all of its Deer Antler products, including Deer Antler Drops. And from these Sika Deer, we only use tips cut from the last ¾ inch of the antler.   This is why Dragon Herbs Deer Antler Drops is a unique deer antler product in the American market.    Primary Functions:  To tonify the Kidney Qi and fortify Yang.  Also tonic to Yin Jing and Blood, and supporting to the sinews and bones. Supports the heart and mind.   Treasures: Jing (Yin and Yang), Qi (especially Blood) and Shen   Atmospheric Energy: Warm   Taste: Sweet and salty   Channel Associations: Liver and Kidneys. Also tonifies the Heart and Brain, and the Governing, Conception, Penetrating and Belt Channels of the Extraordinary Channels system.   Uses   Deer Antler is the most precious and the most potent of the substances that fortify the yang energy of the Kidney. Deer antler is widely used in Asia, and now throughout the world, to support adrenal, reproductive and brain functions. It is universally believed in the Orient to support sexual strength and to support virility and fertility. In the highly regarded tenth century Taoist manual on health and sexual conduct, The Essence of Medical Prescriptions, compiled by a Chinese physician living in Japan by the name of TambaYasuyori, it was said that:    “There is nothing better than deer antler to cause a man to be robust and unaffected by age, not to tire in the bedroom, and not to deteriorate either in energy or in facial coloration.”   Deer antler is commonly used in combination with most of the major Qi tonic herbs such as Ginseng and Astragalus, and with all of the major Yin and Yang Jing-building herbs such as Goji Berry, Morinda root, He Shou Wu, Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), Schizandra, Mountain Ant, etc.   Although deer antler has always been used to help build blood and support blood circulation, modern research has supported deer antler’s reputation as a heart tonic. Particularly the alcohol extract of deer antler is consumed for this purpose. Deer antler is tonic to the marrow, which produces blood. Marrow tends to degenerate as we age and deer antler is believed to support marrow maintenance. This may be a major aspect of deer antler’s youth preserving ability.   Consistent long-term use is believed to re-build deep life force, preserve youthfulness and to enhance longevity.     Scientific Knowledge   Deer antler is a rare type of organ in the higher animal kingdom. It is one of the few complex organ structures which regenerates in an annual rhythm and which will regenerate if shed, cut or broken off. This regenerative power is what has most intrigued scientists in recent years, just as it has the Asian people through the ages.     Studies conducted in Europe indicate that the ability to regenerate is partially due to the rich supply of substances known as ectosaponins. These complex chemical agents are found more abundantly in lower animals, in which the ectosaponins cause a wide variety of tissues to regenerate. The ectosaponin in deer antler is very similar to ectosaponins found at the tail bases of many lizards, such as the Gecko lizard, and in the legs of star fish. If the tale is broken off a Gecko or similar lizard or the appendages broken off a starfish, these appendages re-grow --- bone, connective tissue, nerves, blood vessels, flesh and all (no bones in star fishes). The ectosaponins extracted from deer antler, as well as from Gecko and star fish all have shown remarkable regenerative effects on all types of tissue, including nerve tissue, which generally does not regenerate significantly.    Research indicates that moderate doses of the alcohol extract of deer antler supports cardiovascular function by helping to support cardio-regulatory mechanisms, and by supporting circulation.     Numerous studies done in China, Japan, Russia and Korea have shown that deer antler supports muscular and mental endurance, supports sleep and supports normal appetite. Deer antler has been shown to support the oxygen uptake of the brain, liver and kidneys in laboratory animals. It also supports red and white blood cell production in laboratory animals.     Deer antler extract provides minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients.     Deer antler supports insulin-like growth factor IGF-1 functions in the human body.    •           IGF-1 supports immune functions •           IGF-1 supports muscular the metabolic functions that provide strength and endurance •           IGF-1 supports normal growth •           IGF-1 supports cardiovascular functioning •           IGF-1 supports sleep functions •           IGF-1 supports eyesight, including night vision.*   Traditional Function: Reinforcing Kidney Yang, tonifies Yin Jing, tonifies blood*   Who can use it? Those who wish to increase primal Yang energy   Concentration: 4:1   Specifications: 2 fl. oz.   Ingredients: Deer Antler tips.   Other Ingredients: water, alcohol.   Usage: 3-12 droppers per day or as directed by your health care practitioner.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

Changbai Mountain Ant Drops Changbai Mountain Ant Drops is a full-potency hydro-ethanolic extraction of one of the most powerful tonic substances known. This is a very high potency Mountain Ant extract. It is made with clean, farmed Polyrhachis Ant from Changbai Mountain in remote northeastern China (Manchuria). Chinese Mountain Ant Polyrhachis Ant is one of the adaptogenic superstars of Chinese tonic herbalism. Classically considered one of the “forever young foods” incorporated into daily diets, Polyrhachis Ant is widely consumed in Asia as a dietary supplement for its many known benefits. This Mountain Ant is famous for supporting many important life functions and for its replenishing tonic properties of restoring Qi, increasing vitality and nourishing the blood. Polyrhachis Ant is also one of the few truly powerful adaptogenic substances of the earth, helping the body to naturally adapt to change and common stress as efficiently as possible. Polyrhachis Ant is one of the few ‘herbs’ that gives quick Qi to the brain and body, while simultaneously restoring its original source, the Kidney Yin, creating its supertonic reputation for both Qi and Jing. Polyrhachis Ant regulates Yin and Yang throughout the body and supports the regulatory functions of the immune system. The thymus gland is an important organ of the immune system and stimulates the production and replication of lymphocytes. Recent research demonstrates that Polyrhachis Ant can support the functions of the thymus gland.  Polyrhachis Ant is a source of zinc; it has the highest known content among all living organisms. Being a critical element in healthy human sexual function, zinc is known as the ‘harmonizing’ element in Japan, for its support of ‘harmonious relations’ between couples. Studies have shown that regular consumption of Polyrhachis Ant provides useable zinc. While supporting the balance and delivery of hormones within the body, Ant is NOT itself a source of hormones and can be safely consumed by both men and women, young and old.  Of over 400 known species of ants that have been studied in China alone, Polyrhachis vicina is the only species of Ant approved by the China Ministry of Public Health as a diet supplement. Polyrhachis vicina Ant contains more than 8 kinds of amino acids, crucial to the upkeep of a robust, resilient body. Polyrhachis Ant contains essential vitamins B1, B2, B12, D and E.  As much as 67% ofPolyrhachis vicina Ant’s dry weight is protein, and Polyrhachis Ant contains more than 20 trace elements such as magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and selenium, as well as many essential enzymes. Polyrhachis Ant contains bioavailable ATP, providing energy directly and rapidly to the human body through intracellular transfer, and superoxide dismutase (SOD), a potent anti-oxidant enzyme. Polyrhachis Ant has shown to support liver functions. Ant has also been shown to support important normal immune functions that help maintain health. As a renowned Jing Yin tonic, Polyrhachis Ant strengthens the entire Kidney and adrenal system, supporting the musculoskeletal system, while also supporting sexual function. In Asia, Mountain Ant is considered an aphrodisiac (“Ginseng is the king of herbs, but Mountain Ant is the herb of kings”). Ant supports the nervous system, supports digestive functions and supports the natural moment-to-moment detoxifying functions throughout the body.  Polyrhachis Ant is known to increase the production of DNA and RNA within the cell itself. A unique set of aldehyde compounds found in Polyrhachis Ant is believed to contribute to the Ant’s unparalleled physical strength, known to be able to lift up to 100 times their own weight.  This aldehyde provides the great tonic action for the human body.* Traditional Function: Qi tonic, adaptogen* Who can use it?  Anybody seeking a powerful adaptogen. Ant tonics are popular as pre-workout elixirs. Ant is an ideal tonic for athletes. Concentration: 8:1 Specifications: 2 .fl. oz. Ingredients: Changbai Mountain Polyrhachis Ant, Red Jilin Ginseng root, Goji berries, Schizandra fruit. Other Ingredients: water, alcohol. Usage: 3-12 squirts per day or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination     a.k.a. Ginseng and Astragalus Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination has classically been called the "King of Combinations." It is a giant among classical tonic formulations. It is traditionally said to promote the production and circulation of Qi, support the digestive system, support nutrient assimilation, support the normal healthy functions of the immune system, and to strengthen muscles that help to support posture and the normal healthy position of the organs. It is also an excellent blood tonic. Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination is used as a tonic by anyone wishing to tonify or maintain a high level of Qi.  This is the classical Ginseng and Astragalus Combination used for many centuries in Asia. What distinguishes Dragon Herbs’ Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination from other brands is the quality of the herbs used to produce it and the production technology. ALL HERBS in China (and from most places) come in different grades based upon their variety, seed stock, growing source, growing conditions, care of the cultivators or collectors, and processing at various stages of the supply chain and during production. That’s a lot to consider. But Dragon Herbs does take ALL factors these into account in selecting our raw materials and in producing our herbal products.  Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination is so widely consumed in China that many domestic herb factories produce it. Most of this production uses low grade herbs for price reasons. Many of the peasants of China take Codonopsis and AstragalusCombination, so many factories produce it with very cheap materials so that it costs just pennies.  Dragon Herbs does not use low grade, less effective, raw materials for Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination or any of its products. Dragon Herbs identifies sources of the BEST raw material, the kind preferred in Shanghai or Hong Kong by those who know herbs and want the best. We use this premium material to produce this important formula.  Production technology also matters. Most factories just throw the herbs into a tank and cook the whole thing for a couple of hours, then they make a powdered extract of the tea using a lot of excipient (usually not natural). Dragon Herbs uses low temperature extraction using very pure water and no chemicals. We add the herbs carefully at incremental stages. Some of the herbs in Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination can only be cooked for a few minutes. These “short cook” herbs are cooked separately and carefully and added at the end. For example, the Dang Gui should not be cooked as long as some of the other herbs because of its high aromatic oil content. Aged Tangerine Peel and Fresh Ginger must be cooked for just for a few minutes at most because of their aromatic oil content. This is a true secret (revealed) of superior herbal production. One very important process that most factories skip involves the collection of aromatic oils from the tea. Real Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination has a sweet-spicy aroma. This is from the aromatic oils in the herbs. If the herbs are overcooked and the oils are allowed to evaporate, the true power of Codonopsis and Astragalus Combination cannot be achieved – even if good quality herbs are used. Since we use superb herbs to make this formula, the result is sublime. Dragon Herbs always processes its herbs using an “oil trap.” An oil trap is a sophisticated device connected to the extraction system. It captures evaporating aromatic oils and collects them in crystallized form. These collected essential oils are therefore not lost. They are added back into the extract at the end of the process. And this makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE!* Traditional Functions: Tonifies Qi, ascends Yang, nurtures the Spleen, nourishes the blood. Concentration: 7:1 Specifications: 100 Capsules 500 mg each Ingredients Codonopsis root, Astragalus root, Chinese Licorice root, Bai-zhu Atractylodes root, Aged Tangerine peel, Dang Gui root, Bupleurumroot, Chinese Cimicifuga rhizome, Fresh Ginger rhizome, Red Jujube fruit.

Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination     a.k.a. Ginseng and Zizyphus Combination   Codonopsis and Zizyphus Combination has been used for many centuries to nourish Yin (Jing), and pacifies the spirit (Shen), support the Heart, and build Blood. Thus it tonifies all three Treasures. This formula is a Yin tonic that supports Shen, and supports the stability of Shen.    In this formula, Codonopsis and Zizyphus build Qi and support Blood. Dang Gui and Salvia support blood circulation. Asparagus root, Raw Rehmannia, Ophiopogon, Biota and Zizyphus Scrophularia nourish the Yin, moisten dryness and support a steady mood. Salvia and raw Rehmannia normalize blood.    This is the classical Ginseng and Zizyphus Combination used for many centuries in Asia.

Coptis and Scute is an ancient Chinese formula. It contains the active ingredient, berberine. Berberine is bright yellow, and the formula is also known as the “two yellows.” All of the herbs have potent antimicrobial actions, not only due to the berberine, but as a result of dozens of other active constituents that promote healing. This formula relieves heat, reduces toxicity and fights a wide range of microbial invaders.Scute (Huang Qin), which is the root of Scutellaria baicalensis, is an important antimicrobial herb widely used in Chinese herbalism. Researchers in Scotland report that Baicalin, an extract of the Chinese herb Scutellaria Baicalensis (Huang Qin), restores the effectiveness of traditional antibiotics in countering a deadly type of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection known as MRSA.   Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection is a toxic variant of a universally present skin bacteria that has developed resistance to nearly all antibiotics presently available. Once Staphylococcus Aureus infection becomes established inside the body, it causes tissue destruction and death, if not treated. Even though they are generally ineffective against bacterial infections, due to over-use and the rise of bacterial immunity, the antibiotics ampicillin, amoxycillin, benzylpenicillin, methicillin and cefotaxime can be used effectively to treat MRSA, when combined with Baicalin. MRSA has been of great concern as a potential untreatable epidemic if it becomes wide-spread, so this finding is extremely significant. Baicalin is one of the primary constituents of Scute, and has been shown in many other studies to have potent anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Scute has a long history of use in Traditional Oriental Medicine herbal formulas for clearing infections. It appears with other anti-bacterial and/or anti-viral herbs in a number of traditional and modern herbal formulas that treat infection , prevents respiratory tract congestion via mucous, neuro-protective, ulcer-preventative, and immune system balancing.   Here is the abstract of the study refered to above: Baicalin synergy with beta-lactam antibiotics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and other beta-lactam-resistant strains of S. aureus. Liu IX, Durham DG, Richards RM. The School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Health and Social Care, Robert Gordon University, Schoolhill, Aberdeen, UK. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious global problem and includes strains of beta-lactam-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Novel antimicrobials and/or new approaches to combat the problem are urgently needed. The Chinese herb Huang Qin has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a wide range of infectious diseases. In this study we have examined the antibacterial action of baicalin, a flavone isolated from the herb. When combined with 16 microg mL(-1) baicalin, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of benzylpenicillin against MRSA and penicillin-resistant S. aureus were reduced from 125 and 250 microg mL(-1) to 4 and 16 microg mL(-1), respectively. This activity of baicalin was dose-dependent. Viable counts showed that the killing of MRSA and beta-lactam-resistant S. aureus cells by 10 to 50 microg mL(-1) ampicillin, amoxycillin, benzylpenicillin, methicillin and cefotaxime was potentiated by 25 microg mL(-1) baicalin. From the study it was concluded that baicalin has the potential to restore the effectiveness of beta-lactam antibiotics against MRSA and other strains of beta-lactam-resistant S. aureus. In view of its limited toxicity baicalin offers potential for the development of a valuable adjunct to beta-lactam treatments against otherwise resistant strains of microorganisms.   Description: Spray dried concentrated powder in capsules.   Ingredients: Coptis, Scute, Thellodendron Bark, Gardenia  Typical Usage: 3 Capsules 2 times per day or as directed by your health care practitioner.Each bottle contains 100 vegetarian capsules, 500 miligrams each

Daily Regulator is a colon tonic. It may be used as part of a program to support and regulate intestinal and digestive balance, which should include the consumption of at least 5, and as many as 13 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. It may also be used as a mild laxative for occasional constipation. Daily Regulator is not intended to be used for chronic constipation, which may be the sign of a serious health condition that requires the oversight of a physician. Many people become intestinally sluggish because they become temporarily Yin deficient, meaning that they do not have enough fluid in their colon. Therefore water consumption is very important. This formula is a Yin tonic to the colon. Several of the herbs in this formula contain oils that nourish the colon. Rhubarb and Magnolia Bark are very potent antioxidants that can support the normal tissues and functions of the colon; however, they are also laxatives and should be used judiciously and only for a limited time for temporary constipation.Ingredients: Black Sesame seed, Apricot seed, Magnolia bark, Chinese Rhubarb rhizome, Bitter Orange fruit, White Peony root.

Deer Antler Drops – 8 oz Super potent hydro-ethanolic extraction Changbai Mountain Sika Deer antler. Only the top 1" of tips. Yang Jing and Yin Jing tonic. Product DescriptionDragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is made exclusively with antler from Sika Deer, long considered to be the best deer antler. These are small spotted deer that are native to Northeastern Asia. This is the most valuable antler in the world. Deer Antler is considered to be one of the “big three” ultimate “herbs” (dietary supplements) of China — Ginseng, Reishi Mushroom and Deer Antler.Deer Antler supports normal healthy life functions so as to promote wellbeing. Deer Antler is a Yang Jing tonifying herb, and it also tonifies Yin Jing, Qi, Blood and Shen. It therefore tonifies all three Treasures. Deer Antler is used by athletes to support muscular strength. Deer Antler is suitable to both men and women. Deer Antler extract contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance, also produced in the human body, that maintains elasticity of the skin and connective tissue.Dragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is a unique product in the U.S. market. There are dozens of other “deer velvet” products available, but Dragon Herbs Changbai Mountain Deer Antler Drops is the ONLY product made ENTIRELY from Deer Antler tips. Deer Antler grows from its “tips.” As it grows, the soft body of the antler hardens, while the growing tip remains soft and bio-chemically rich. It has been estimated that 90% of the biologically active constituents of the ENTIRE antler is contained in just the last inch of the antler, known as the “tip,” even if the antler is 18 inches long. Dragon Herbs deer are farmed in beautiful, pristine Changbai Mountain, and are certified by the Chinese Ministry of Health to be clean and safe. Since the deer are so valuable and since deer antler is essentially a renewable “resource,” deer are highly protected. They thrive under the conditions established. The antler is painlessly cut off the live deer when the antler has developed either two or three branches and covered by “velvet.” Dragon Herbs uses only the distal one inch of the antler to make this product.The deer from which the antlers are collected are humanely treated at all stages of their life. They are very well fed, are allowed to graze freely in the foothills during the daylight hours, are protected from predators and are not harmed during the collection of their antlers. They are constantly monitored for their health. After the antlers are collected in May and June, the antlers regrow during the same growing season and are allowed to grow out fully. “Antler harvesting” has been proven to improve the life span of the male deer, which become somewhat less aggressive during mating season (fall and winter) and less prone to fighting and killing each other for the females. As a result, most male deer that have their antlers removed in the spring do not die from rutting, whereas the death and injury rate in the wild is very high. Female spotted deer do not produce antlers.Ingredients: Deer Antler tips.Traditional FunctionReinforcing Kidney Yang, tonifies Yin Jing, tonifies blood*Who can use it?Adults who wish to increase primal Yang energy.Concentration4:1Specifications8 fl. oz.Other IngredientsWater, Grain Alcohol (30% by volume)Dosage3-12 droppers per day as desired or as directed by your health care practitioner
