In 1999, the use of antler velvet was scientifically supported by clinical research in compliance with FDA regulations for its beneficial effects in treating arthritis. Empirical evidence also suggests several other therapeutically valuable actions including stimulation of the immune system, protective, anti-aging, and rejuvenating effects, and beneficial effects on blood and circulation.
