Deer Velvet Composition
Nature's Concentrated Nutritional Source
There are over 396 active ingredients contained in Mountain Red Deer Velvet that include a variety of Proteins, Lipids, Minerals, Trace Elements, Growth Factors, Growth Hormones, and Glycosaminoglycans:
- Proteins
- The main structural part in cells that aid tissue growth and repair.
- Amino Acids
- Deer Velvet contains the 20 standard amino acids including eight essential amino acids that we cannot synthesize within the body and need to obtain from other sources. Amino Acids are the essential building blocks of the body.
- Collagen
- Is the main protein of connective tissue within the body widely recognised for the promotion of healthily skin and hair. It is also the vital structural protein component of bones, tendons, ligaments and cartilage, providing elasticity. Collagen provides the body with shock absorbing properties and is the major framework that holds the cells together. Collagen is required for the synthesis of joint cartilage and for the repair of tissue damage.
- Lipids
- Essential for cell growth and energy storage. Lipids build cell components and boost energy levels to enhance cellular activities. Deer Velvet contains Essential Fatty Acids (EFAÕs) that cannot be constructed within the body so must be obtained externally. There are two families of EFAÕs, Omega -3 and Omega -6; both are contained in Mountain Red Deer Velvet.
- Minerals/Trace Elements
- Deer Velvet contains a variety of beneficial minerals and trace elements:
- Calcium
- Builds and maintains healthy teeth and bones, and is essential for nerve impulse conduction for keeping your heart beating steadily, and keeping muscles and nerves working correctly.
- Phosphorus
- Provides structure for bones and teeth, and is a component of nearly all metabolic reactions.
- Sulphur
- A component of various amino acids and insulin.
- Magnesium
- Is necessary for the formation of bone and teeth and for normal nerve and muscle function.
- Potassium
- Essential for nerve and muscle function and is involved in electrolyte balance.
- Sodium
- Helps the body maintain normal electrolyte and fluid balance.
- Manganese
- Needed for the formation of bones and connective tissue, and the formation and activation of certain enzymes.
- Zinc
- A component of more than 100 enzymes necessary for healthy skin, healing of wounds and growth.
- Copper
- Necessary for energy production, formation of red blood cells, bone and connective tissues and has an antioxidant action to help protect cells against damage by free radicals.
- Iron
- Essential for blood cells transporting oxygen throughout the body.
- Selenium
- Powerful antioxidant and necessary for the thyroid gland to function normally.
- Cobalt
- Required in the synthesis of vitamin B12
Growth Factors
Naturally occurring substances required for cellular growth and the regulation of a variety of cellular processes. Deer Velvet contains both IGF 1 and IGF 2. IGF 1 supports tissue growth, organ health, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and has been shown to support muscle growth, the regeneration of nerve tissue and encourage the absorption of Chondroitin Sulphate and Glucosamine Sulphate. IGF 2 supports tissue growth and the development and function of the organs such as the brain, liver and kidney.
- Glycosaminoglycans
- Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are combinations of proteins and sugars found in a variety of tissues, blood plasma, joints, and the mucosal (mucous membrane) lining of a variety of organs, including the gastrointestinal tract and the bladder.
- Glucosamine
- An amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body and is a major basic nutrient used in the production, maintenance and repair of joint structures including cartilage, bone, tendon, ligaments and joint fluids. It is also a component of synovial fluid, which lubricates and serves as a shock absorber for the joints. Glucosamine supports the repair of damaged cartilage, building new cartilage, cushioning joints, and joint mobility and flexibility.
- Chondroitin
- Extremely potent joint mobility agent. Chondroitin gives cartilage elasticity and helps prevent the destruction of cartilage by enzymes.
- Prostaglandins
- Are chemical regulators produced in all tissues that support nerve donduction and cellular health, and maintain tissues such as the lining of the stomach, supporting blood clotting and involved in the stimulation of cells into action.
- Phospholipids
- In order to repair the structural damage caused by free radicals, pathogens and toxins your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Mountain Red Deer Velvet provides essential phospholipids not synthesized by the body.
