USAGE Dosages For Adults : 1-2 capsules per day - This is sufficient for preventive and maintenance purposes, as well as to alleviate minor bone, joint and muscle pain. 3-4 capsules per day - Use a higher dosage to help relieve the symptoms of osteoporosis, arthritis and other problems. Higher dosages can also be used by athletes and those under physical or mental stress. As with all dietary supplements and tonics, one should start with a lower dosage and gradually increase it as needed. The beneficial effects of deer velvet has been shown to increase with higher dosages. Deer velvet is preferably taken on an empty stomach (one or two hours before or after a meal). Take deer velvet in the morning for improved energy throughout the day. However, some people prefer taking deer velvet before sleeping. For Children : Children need to take only half the adult dosage. Up to one capsule a day can be used. Remove the powder from the capsule and sprinkle on food. Use a lower dosage initially. Deer velvet has special benefits for children in the fast-growing ages (from around 12-18). The future health of bones, teeth and hair is dependent on how well they are developed at this stage of growth. Contraindications As with all yang herbs, deer velvet should not be used during the acute stages of the flu or cold, or when one is experiencing a fever. Deer velvet can be used during the recovery stage. Deer velvet is used by pregnant women in the Orient to prevent miscarriage and facilitate childbirth. However, we would advise all pregnant women to seek medical advice before using deer velvet. Anyone suffering from a serious medical condition should seek the advice of a health professional before using deer velvet. Deer Velvet Supports a Healthy Lifestyle As a tonic herb, deer velvet is consumed as part of a healthy diet. It complements, but cannot replace, proper nutritious foods. The body needs a wide array of nutrients, and no single tonic herb or food source can possibly supply everything. Click here for nutritional advice.
