Adaptogenic effects of VIGR Elk Velvet Antler
Adaptogens are remarkable natural substances that help the body adapt to stress, support normal metabolic functions, and help restore balance. They increase the body’s resistance to physical, biological, emotional, and environmental stressors and provide a defense response to acute or chronic stress. They are unique from other substances in their ability to restore the balance of endocrine hormones, modulate the immune system, and allow the body to maintain optimal homeostasis.
Adaptogens are non-toxic and have minimal physical and mental side effects. Adaptogens produce changes in the body because of their stimulation and balancing of several systems, including the neuroendocrine and immune systems. They are capable of either toning down the activity of hyperfunctioning systems or strengthening the activity of hypofunctioning systems, thus having a normalizing effect.
Improved Athletic Performance
Soviet scientists in the 1980s tested the effects of deer antler velvet on the performance of elite Russian athletes, and the results were astonishing. Deer antler velvet helped increase the strength and muscle mass of Russian athletes, and speed their recovery time from exercise.
Research with pantocrin, a lipid extract from VELVET ANTLER, indicated that this product increased the working capacity of test subjects. In 1974, Russian scientists reported that athletes taking pantocrin were able to dramatically increase their performance on exercise cycle tests. In a one-week placebo-controlled trial with weight lifters, velvet antler resulted in a slight increase in weight lifting ability along with improved muscle composition and better endurance and recovery time.
Testimonials
“If you’ve ever said “there are not enough hours in the day,” then VIGR Elk Velvet Antler is for you! The VIGR team told me it would take one-to-four weeks for it to work, but within 10 days, I was waking up earlier than normal and feeling great! It’s a huge help when you run Canada’s #1 sports blog and are on-the-go in professional sports circles.
Plus, one night in bed my wife felt my arm and said, “Whoa! Pumping lots of iron?” – That clinched it for me! I work out the same as always but have greater stamina and have built more muscle. I will always take VIGR Velvet! I’m the energetic man I used to be!”

I started taking VIGR Elk Velvet Antler after I tweaked the meniscus in my knee. The middle of our short mountain biking season is not the time to get an injury, so I researched VIGR to see if it would speed up my recovery time. Having had the same knee injury 4 years prior, I can honestly say that taking VIGR dramatically improved the healing of my injury. As well, the parallels that VIGR Elk Velvet Antler have with Chinese Medicine to promote energy along the Kidney Meridian are principles I do believe in and treat in my Acupuncture practice.
