OUR PREPARATION METHOD
🦌
Our SuperFeast Deer Antler is collected from the antlers of Cervus nippon deer, who roam freely in their native environment where they can sustain themselves on wild oak leaves alongside an organic diet. Modern research has shown that the vast majority of the bioactive substances, nutritional elements and growth factors are found in the tips of the antlers and our powder is derived from this very area - it is made from the tips of deer antler that have not been ossified. Deer antler is collected from stags when their soft antlers are rich with amino acids, minerals, enzymes and vitamins.

For quality and effectiveness, the tip of the antlers is what must be used where it is tender, oily and moist. This is what we use at SuperFeast. Be aware that many suppliers will use the part lower from the tip where it is less oily, tougher and more whitish in colour. This is not as effective, and often what cheaper deer antler products are made from.

Deer must be over 3 years old. In the springtime, antlers naturally grow at an epic rate of 2cm a day as the Blood is rushing through the antlers. At approximately day 60 of the growing cycle, the antlers are harvested under the guidance and supervision of licensed and trained veterinarians. Tourniquets and anaesthetics are used to ensure the deer are carefully cared for during the process of collecting the antler velvet. After a few days, when it has been determined that the animals are all in good health, the deer are returned to roam free for the remainder of the year. The revered velvet will grow back again. After the velvet has been collected, it is freeze dried, and then sliced into thin wafers before being prepared. It is these pieces of herb that are processed into our potent and full spectrum extract.

We only work with family farms who are independent and treat their deer with respect. This includes having acreage where the deer can roam regularly, having strict guidelines for how many deer per stall are allowed when the deer aren’t roaming, and top quality hygiene practices are followed to ensure very healthy deer.

And as a final note, these SuperFeast deer are NOT raised for meat.
