The Cervid Labs Journey: Ethical Velvet Antler, From Farm to Bottle

Cervid Labs is a veteran-owned and operated company based in Southern Wisconsin, dedicated to producing premium velvet antler supplements. Our journey began on our family elk farm, where we saw firsthand the rising demand for high-quality velvet antler products.

Despite this growing interest, we noticed a lack of supplements that maintained full control from farm to bottle — ensuring purity, potency, and ethical sourcing. That’s why we created Cervid Labs: to close that gap and bring trustworthy, US-sourced velvet antler supplements to market.


All of our velvet antler is either harvested directly from our own farm or sourced from trusted partners in our Velvet Partner Program. This program sets strict standards for quality, sustainability, and animal welfare, so you know exactly where your supplement comes from — and how it was made.

Freeze-Dried for Maximum Nutrient Retention

While other brands may rely on faster, heat-based methods, we use a careful freeze-drying process to preserve the full spectrum of nutrients in every batch. Freeze-drying locks in the integrity of the active compounds, ensuring you get a supplement that’s as close to nature as possible.

The result? A more potent, effective product — without compromising quality.

Happy Herd, Happy Life 

The number one priority on our elk farm is animal well-being. Our animals are in a calm and low stress environment, which is very important to overall herd health. The elk graze on hundreds of acres of pasture and alfalfa.

They are supplemented with all the basic minerals and nutrients elk need for optimum nutrition. We never use any hormones or antibiotics on our herd. The velvet harvesting process is a painless and harm-free process. Our elk herd supports our business, so they are treated with the most respect and truly live a very happy and whole life.
