What is Flex Appeal Ultra velvet elk antler?
In just four to six months, a mature male elk can grow as much bone in his antler as the average human has in their entire skeletal system. However, velvet antler is harvested before the growth cycle is complete generally at about 75 days when the antler from a mature elk weighs between 25 and 40 pounds. At this stage, the antler contains a wealth of nutrients, growth factors, minerals, and amino acids. The primary components in velvet antler are proteins, collagen, lipids, uronic acid, sulfated glycosaminoglycans, sialic acid, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. The unique combinations of proteins, carbohydrates, prostoglandins, and other trace elements help reduce inflammation and promote joint function. Dr.
