Planetary Herbals Full Spectrum Antler Velvet has been used in China for over 2,000 years. Antler velvet is the early stage of antler growth and is a rich source of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and glycoproteins, all of which support the skeletal system. Antler velvet is regenerated every year and harvested with great care in controlled environment by specially trained farmers or veterinarians who confirm to the National Velvet Standards Body (NVSB) of New Zealand. Traditionally, antler velvet has been used to restore, balance, and strengthen the body, support joint function, and cultivate an overall feeling of well being.
