All these help, however exersize is the key. Blood circulation is vital to the health of all humans. Tight muscles restrict blood flow.

I have read with interest the discussions regarding use of deer velvet and some of the comments. Whilst I can only comment on our company, Mountain Red, I would encourage any potential customer to ask some pertinent questions from their supplier to ensure that they get a good quality, efficacious product. Unfortunatley there are a myriad of poor quality products out there that give the industry a bad name!
Firstly, check that the source velvet is from NZ and is produced on an acredited farm. This ensures standards of wellfare and humane removal. If you can't get this then ask the question why - certification is available in NZ and is no secret - if you have it then you will tell people about it. And no, the deer are NOT killed when harvesting velvet - or at least they shouldnt be!!! If done properly, as we do, velvet is completely sustainable and a valuable natural health resource. Secondly ask about the quality of product used - all velvet is graded and the best is the most expensive. If suppliers won't tell you then ask yourself why. Poor quality velvet is hardened and of litle to no use when taken as a supplement, although . So ask - what grade of velvet is used in this product - it should be whole stick, SA, A or B.
Ask about "drug free" - can this be guaranteed by the marketer/supplier? Again, if not why not? Strength of capsule - the literature shows that a minumum of 500mg should be taken a day. A bottle of 60 x 200mg capusles may appear better value but it may be more cost effective for you to purchase 60 x 500mg capsules that will last you two times longer! What else is in the capsule - fillers? additives? These are unnecessary and mean you are not getting a 100% natural product. Take time to ask these questions of your suppleir - this will ensure that you get a good product, from a reputable company. Good luck and good health! KJ

Is it worth it,even if it does work? The idea of using deer velvet is revolting-all the more so,because it has more than anything to do with the greedy taking advantage of the gullible.

I think what is needed is a Pain expo where people with pain can come and try all manner of pain remedies in the one day. Looking forward to trying this stuff on a few clients though.
